These Impossible Things by Salma El-Wardany

laurelsitton's review against another edition

4.0

Although the first half of this book was a bit slow, in the end it didn’t disappoint. These Impossible Things is a love letter to friendship, and at a time in my own life when friends are scattered everywhere, this book left me feeling some type of way.

I can't quite put my finger on what it was about this book that really got me, but I loved it!!

Wow what a book! Such a brilliantly told coming of age story of three muslim women, the choices they make and how they try to live with those choices. It is a beautiful and emotional story about love in all it's forms, that had me in tears so many times throughout this book (making it difficult to read through the tears at times).
I can't say enough good things about it, and feel sad that the book has ended, but so glad I read it.
Thanks to #ReadWithMC for featuring it this month and bringing it to my attention

This didn't do it for me. If anyone reads it and loves it, I'd be curious to hear your thoughts. Honestly... I just felt stressed out (*and not the good stressed you get from reading a thriller*) the whole time I was reading it.
