The Life Impossible

I had really high hopes for this one based on how much I enjoyed The Midnight Library. I'm not sure if it was just that I wasn't in the right mood for this kind of book, but it felt like it really dragged on. The idea of the story was interesting, but I just kept feeling like the story itself wasn't really going anywhere. I didn't hate it, but I definitely didn't enjoy it as much as I did The Midnight Library.

Thoughts on The Life Impossible

Reading The Life Impossible was such a satisfying experience. The story takes its time to build both the characters and the plot, which makes everything feel natural and believable—even the more magical parts. The way the book gradually draws you in makes it easy to trust the story, no matter how fantastical it gets.

The characters are a big highlight. They feel so real and relatable, with their emotions and relationships adding a lot of depth to the story. You can't help but root for them as they navigate their struggles.

The settings are beautifully described too. Every scene is vivid and easy to picture, pulling you right into the world of the story.

Even with its magical realism, the book stays grounded, making the impossible feel surprisingly real. It's a heartfelt, magical, and memorable read.

As much as I like this author, I felt the beginning of the story to be very slow.
But as with most of his other books, it is an interesting story.
As I got to know her more, I fell in love with the main character, Grace. I think her older age made me relate to her more.
I would definitely recommend this book at anyone who loves stories about magic.

Underwhelming and predictable. I was so excited for this one. I did not connect with the characters and felt unengaged almost the entire time.

Yes. ♥️
