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 . . .

Critic Reviews

‘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

Great audiobook. I also recommended it to a friend while I was just half-way through and she loved it too! I was walking down the street listening to it when the twist started to dawn on me and I literally had to stop walking to take it all in! So clever! I liked that the female character was read by a female and the male character was read by a male. It kept it even more interesting. Have already looked up other Sarah Lotz books to add to my list, and can't wait to start them. So glad I discovered this author. Thanks for the clever and entertaining book that really got me thinking about things!

Loved it!

I was a little bored by the first few chapters, so if you are the same, hold on. This isn't a standard girl-meets-boy. excellent narration.

surprising story that goes beyond a romance

The concept of the characters following parallel lives was so new and fresh to me. I just loved this star crossed tale. The narration was perfect moving from B to Nick seamlessly. If you’re looking for a love story with a twist definitely give this one a try 🤩

Loved the surreal concept and the narration was perfect

Absolutely loved the story and wish I could start it again for the first time!

The characters are real, the ‘love story’ is as real as multiple realities can be and despite nit being a lover of love stories I really wanted these two to end up together in some way.

I can’t wait to read other books by this author, I have high expectations!

Absolutely loved the story and wish I could start it again for the first time
