Praise for this book
"So funny, so original, so beautifully mad--I am seething with envy that I didn't write it myself. I adore rom coms like this, which push genre and achieve the impossible - leaving the reader not quite knowing how it's all going to end!" - Sophie Cousens
"It is amazing, never ever ever in my life have i wished I'd written a book so much. I am bawling. Bawling. An actual masterpiece. There will not be a book I love more in 2022." - Anstey Harris

"Clever, unexpected, and delightfully twisted - in other words, the perfect love story. The Impossible Us is built on brilliant concept that pushes at the boundaries of convention - and the laws of physics.
