I've always enjoyed reading Matt Haig books and was excited to read this latest release. I find Matt's novels such an easy read but also extremely descriptive allowing the reader to feel like they are walking side-by-side with the characters in their journey. The Life Impossible is different to most of his other books, especially when a supernatural element enters the story. I confess had I have know this prior to starting I might have been hesitant to read it, but I'm so pleased I hadn't heard any spoilers before hand as I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a sunny escape into a book.

This book was recommended to me by a friend and I'm so pleased that it was. I couldn't put it down. The fact this book is all set in one day is so interesting and to journey with the characters through their different emotions is certainly what keeps the reader on the rollercoaster too.

I really wanted to read this classic after seeing so many adaptations through film and television. To think that Shelly was so young when she wrote this is extremely impressive. Although I did find the pacing somewhat slow at various points, I still found this to be a really enjoyable read and one to tick off my list.

Based on the third…
