The Life Impossible
by Matt Haig
This book had an interesting premise but really frustrated me. I’m all for suspending disbelief and embracing magic but having the main character’s grief, guilt, and depression essentially cured not because of anything she works on but because she is magically gifted telepathy and through reading minds she can now appreciate life again…it was a choice. I just couldn’t appreciate the attempted pay off because her character development didn’t feel earned. Plus the message in general felt pretty forced. There was one line that stood out to me as poetic and beautiful but beyond that I wasn’t moved.
