“What looks like magic is simply a part of life we don’t understand yet…”

When retired math teacher Grace Winters is left a run-down house on a Mediterranean island by a long-lost friend, curiosity gets the better of her. She arrives in Ibiza with a one-way ticket, no guidebook and no plan.

Among the rugged hills and golden beaches of the island, Grace searches for answers about her friend’s life, and how it ended. What she uncovers is stranger than she could have dreamed. But to dive into this impossible truth, Grace must first come to terms with her past.

Filled with wonder and wild adventure, this is a story of hope and the life-changing power of a new beginning.

    Parts of it were a good read, but overall this book is a great big humbling of new age, hippie, paranormal, science fiction, esoteric mumbo jumbo.

    I read this book with a friend of mine, we would read a few chapters at a time and text back and forth with our analysis & personal anecdotes. It was such a perfect story to read this way. I’ve read just about every book Matt Haig has written so far and this ended up being one of my favorites. Idk if that’s because it was necessarily “better” than his other work, it was just the experience of doing it this way. It was the first book I’ve ever read together with my friend. The amount of parallels to our own lives we found in here, living AS Grace throughout the story, it spawned so many beautiful conversations between us both & I’m really grateful that I got to read this book at this particular moment in my life. Highly recommend! This would be a great Book Club book but even if not that, I say text your best friend & tell them “I’m buying you this & we’re reading it together” ~ you won’t regret it!

    I highlighted sentences and passages throughout the book that I want to read whenever I need them. I loved the variety of places the story could have ended but didn’t. Because I didn’t want it to end.

  • Absolutely incredible

    I haven’t been so deeply invested in a book since I was a little kid. I can’t express how amazing this book is.

    My mom discarded The Midnight Library from a book club read - she “didn’t understand it” …and I picked it up. It was the beginning of my love of Matt Haig’s stories. The Life Impossible is a book about being present - noticing all the beauty life offers, even in time so trial and sadness. We forget. This book reminds us. Loved it.

    I can’t really say what it was about this book, but I knew right from the beginning I was going to enjoy the book all the way to the end and I was correct . At the very first I thought this might be hard to get into or to keep track of, but it wasn’t . It was wonderful!

  • Slow and boring

    Slow and boring and oh, so dumb. I’m embarrassed to have read it and for the author to have written it.

  • What an imaginative romp!

    And at some point, we will come to see what is true, won't we? Magic, aliens, all things that we do not get understand but that was true about science in the past, it's true now, and it will always be true. Matt Haig brings these characters to life, and I can only Marvel out how his mind works, as he tries to describe to us what is happening within the indomitable Grace.

  • Thanks
