The Life Impossible: A Novel

I will read anything Matt Haig writes.

Matt Haig writes to stay alive—and to ask us to stay alive.

Everytime I read a book by Matt Haig I walk away in full gratitude of the miracle that is human life. The story was no different in that way, but I also appreciated how timely this felt In light of the climate disasters ahead of us. Similar to the humans, I absolutely loved the Sci-Fi side of the story and the medical appreciation weaved throughout. A must read.

I enjoyed this book. I liked the ending.

Preachy and almost dismissive of the really tough challenges the book tries to take on - finding purpose in aging, grief and loss, environmental destruction... Magical realism elements felt a bit silly against those topics. Great topics, just not well executed.
