Summary:
Ashton Summers is on her way to becoming the most popular girl in school and nothing—or no one—is going to stand in her way. Especially not Luca Byron, her freak neighbor, with his tattoos, loud music, and distracting green eyes.
Luca Byron has three goals in life: get through high school with a low profile, make sure his garage band becomes something more than a hobby, and try to forget about his insufferable ex-best friend, Ashton, who he can’t get out of his mind.
The last thing Ashton and Luca want to do is rekindle their friendship, but when Ashton takes a tumble down the social ladder, Luca—with his new makeover—is the only one who can help her rise up again by pretending to be her boyfriend. At first, being together is unbearable and annoying, but things start to change as Ashton and Luca discover the real reasons they drifted apart seven years ago.
Now, keeping their hands off each other seems impossible.

My Review:
When I first started reading Impossible I thought, wow, the story is moving so quickly! Then I realized that no, the pace was good, I was just devouring it. I really felt as if it was a really short story, I just sat down to read and in a blink of an eye I was 50% into the book.
When I first read the summary I thought it was going to be your typical blond-girl fall for goth-guy, but once you start to get into the story, you start to find things that really sets it apart from other stories that could be similar. For one, I think Komal Lewis - author - handled beautifully the bullying and school-pressure issues in this novel. She made the book somehow light, funny and really entertaining, but still brought up deep topics and it made you realize just how desperate one can be to fit in.
Impossible has two contrasting main characters, that really, deep down at heart are not so different at all; they both miss and care for each other. Following them through the novel was a joy. Ashton was a bit dramatic at times, and I was also constantly wanting to show her a mirror, so she could she that she was making the same mistakes she was judging, but luckily she never got to the point of being seriously annoying, which I think was mainly thanks to the alternative points of view. Luca's head was much more, let's say 'sane' than Ashton's, but just as fun.
Impossible really couldn't have arrived at a better time for me. After school stress and busy days, Impossible was so refreshing, light yet meaningful and cute. A quick read that I'd really recommend for anyone who wants something nice and fresh :)
