Almost Impossible
A fun and relatable summer read for fans of Sarah Dessen and Jenny Han." -School Library Journal
When Jade decided to spend the summer with her aunt in California, she thought she knew what she was getting into. But nothing could have prepared her for Quentin. Jade hasn't been in suburbia long and even she knows her annoying (and annoyingly cute) next-door neighbor spells T-R-O-U-B-L-E.
And when Quentin learns Jade plans to spend her first American summer hiding out reading books, he refuses to be ignored. Sneaking out, staying up, and even a midnight swim, Quentin is determined to give Jade days--and nights--worth remembering.
But despite their storybook-perfect romance, every time Jade moves closer, Quentin pulls away. And when rumors of a jilted ex-girlfriend come to light, Jade knows Quentin is hiding a secret--and she's determined to find out what it is.

I received this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review
I have this habit of going on Netgalley, requesting a book I'm interested in, only to start doubting how much I'll like it once I receive it. I'm doing better, but this was one of those books I pushed off, not wanting to DNF another book.
Friends, this is one of those few instances where my original instincts was on point. I devoured this book.
To be perfectly honest, this is probably one of my favorite YA romances of the summer– perhaps the year??? Like... wow.
Let me start by saying the writing was on point for me. The details aren't overdone and most words and paragraphs seem to have meaning to the story. That being said, I do think some things happened a bit too quickly?, but I also don't know how things could have been prolonged.
Besides that it was refreshing to read a book with responsible teens. They still made mistakes and did things they shouldn't, but that doesn't mean they weren't super responsible with a solid head on their shoulders. I liked and respected both the main characters so much. These were teens I recognized as ones I've talked to in real life.
The romance was a bit... quick. As I mentioned above, many things happened quickly– it does only happen over a two month period. I found the couple so cute though, that I couldn't help but just not care how quickly they ended up liking each other. It starts based on looks, but truly we can read how they start liking each other for other qualities and growing because of the other.
Unfortunately, I kinda knew the plot twist from the beginning– I thought I read it in the synopsis?? If I did it has been changed thankfully, so I won't ruin that for you. Where could I have read it????? Or did I just assume... I don't even know.
I started this book with apprehension and ended it totally in love with it. I will definitely be recommending this one to people looking for a cute summer romance read.
