The book with the IMPOSSIBLE twist – read it to believe it …
_____________________________________________________________
One day, NICK and BEE cross paths over a misdirected email. The connection is instant, electric, they feel like they’ve known each other forever.
Nick buys a new suit, gets on a train. Bee steadies her nerves, gets a pep talk from her best friend Leila. This is it.
Except it isn’t.
Because as they prepare to meet under the clock at Euston station, the universe throws in a twist you’d never see coming . . .

‘Holy s***. This book. I loved everything about it. The zingy dialogue, the romance, the suspense. The alternate history . . . It’s a love story of the greatest kind’ GILLIAN MCALLISTER
‘Some books become cultural touchstones that people bond over for years, like One Day or The Time Traveller’s Wife. You remember where you were when you read them, and how you felt. Impossible is one of those books’ LAURA PEARSON
'What an absolute joy of a book! Witty, engaging and so emotionally resonant, IMPOSSIBLE is the book we all need right now!’ SARAH PINBOROUGH
‘It is amazing, NEVER EVER EVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I WISHED I’D WRITTEN A BOOK SO MUCH. I am BAWLING. Bawling. An actual masterpiece’ ANSTEY HARRIS
‘Brilliant! I devoured every page. Warm, witty and original’ SARAH MORGAN
‘An absolutely addictive read . . . I was swept away by Bee and Nick’s impossible love story and I was utterly hooked from the start. Genuinely unputdownable’ JENNIFER SAINT
‘I have DEVOURED Impossible and I'm going to go as far as to say I think it's one of the best rom coms I have ever read. It's so funny, so original, so beautifully mad – I am seething with envy that I didn't write it myself’ SOPHIE COUSENS
‘It is indeed amazing. It has twisted my brain – in a good way – and made me wonder how much of it could be true. Ingenious and beautifully executed’ JILL MANSELL
‘Oh my goodness . . . Funny, unique, moving and complex – Lotz has taken an utterly fascinating premise and placed two wonderfully witty people at its heart’ CESCA MAJOR
‘My mind is officially blown . . . What a book! Breathtakingly original, clever and unputdownable. A work of total genius’ SARAH J HARRIS
‘It knocked my socks off! Such a ridiculously clever, hilarious read with characters so real, I'll never forget them. One of the best, most original love stories I ever read’ JESSICA RYN
No. 1 Read of 2022?

I found quite a lot of both the plot and delivery a little shallow and lacking the scientific depth required to make it believable. Others have done similar things much better (Stephen king and Blake crouch etc)
The male voice work for “Nick” I found extremely cheesy and cheap which really detracted from what should have been a decent character. Bee was somewhat better fortunately
Having said this it’s still certainly worth a credit as long as you suspend your disbelief at the door
Good but flawed

Special love for the narrator who played Nick. It’s got to be a film surely. Please! Please can we have Julian Rhind-Tutt play Nick? So, it’s five stars from me- it’s impossible to give it less.
Impossible not to love.

It certainly makes you wonder if there is life on the “other side” as they say. I wasn’t expecting the twist at the end either, but just a shame it had to end.
Couldn’t put it down !
