I forgot why this book was in backlog and what it was about. Iā€™m glad I just dove in without reading anything about the book and recommend you do the same. On the theme of no spoilers, I love this story! And, Lotz nailed the ending. Flawless.

This broke my heart. I had to sit down in the last 5% to get through it. So many ups and downs and turns. My heart hurts šŸ’”

This was such a unique and fun read! I can't place it in any genre, really! It's a rom com but with a sci-fi-ish (or fantasy depending on your perspective) twist! And what a twist.

I won't tell you what the twist is, just that It's about two people who accidentally connect online but when they decide to meet they find out something very unexpected - it's impossible to be together (it's in the title).

It's a forbidden love story of a unique type, and I loved that! I get bored reading too realistic contemporary books (with focus on work stress, friends & family problems... it gets tedious and not enough escapism for me) - I need that extra layer to pull me in! And this book definitely had that.

It also had everything you find in other contemp romances if you enjoy that! (Btw just cuz I mentioned sci-fi, don't expect aliens or anything too out there!)

My one issue is that the book is longer than it has to be. It's way over 400 pages, and I feel like it would have worked better if it was shorter.
Still, I flew through it, and it was a gripping from start to finish.

Nick is so annoying 
I liked Bee and Lelia's friendship but everytime it switches back to Nick I'm like ughhhhhhh don't care
Might pick up again later

A potentially interesting premise ā€“ and maybe even plot, at times, though it does go pretty off the rails, and the pacing is odd ā€“ rendered unbelievable by its insufferable protagonists (Nick especially ā€“ just no).
