Impossible
by Komal Kant
I’m really glad I gave Impossible a chance because I ended up really enjoying it. It turned out to be a much more powerful and emotional read than I initially thought it would be. The idea at the start of the book kind of reminded me of the 1990s movie Drive Me Crazy, but it was different enough that the similarities were only general.
I liked Luca right away. Just something about him drew me in. He seemed to have a good heart, and when I saw him out there mowing their lawn, I knew I was hooked. It took me a little bit longer to warm up to Ashton.
Honestly, I was a little bit nervous that I wouldn’t like her at all. I started reading the book and everything she did was so mean girl and shallow that I just couldn’t feel bad for her, but I felt something there and that pushed me to not give up on her. I think it was the connection that I felt with Luca that made me think Ashton was redeemable, and he was totally right. I am so glad that I didn’t stat hating her, because she really opened up during the course of the story and it made me get to know the girl that Luca knew was there all along.
I thought the romance in Impossible was great. It was the heated, passionate kind of romance that half the time meant they were fighting with each other just to get a response and half the time they were kissing the heck out of each other. I enjoyed it because the romance was pretty different than I find in most other YA and New Adult books.
Impossible took me on a journey I didn’t even know I was going on when I started the book. I thought I was going to read a cute little love story and then boom! All this powerful stuff started to come out throughout the story and it grew into a lot more. I really enjoyed Impossible. I am really glad that I got the chance to read it.
