The Impossibility of Us
The Impossibility of Us | Katy Upperman
4 posts | 7 read | 3 to read
The last thing Elise wants is to start over in a new town. But after her brother’s death in Afghanistan, she and her mother move to a sleepy coastal village to be closer to Elise’s sister-in-law and niece. When Elise meets Mati during a beachside walk, they quickly discover how much they have in common. Mati is new to town, too. Over the course of the summer, their relationship begins to blossom, and what starts out as a friendship becomes so much more. But as Elise and Mati grow closer, her family becomes more and more uncomfortable with their relationship, and their concerns all center on one fact—Mati is Afghan. Beautifully written, utterly compelling, and ultimately hopeful, The Impossibility of Us asks—how brave can you be when your relationship is questioned by everyone you love?

Elise moves to a new town after her brother dies in Afghanistan to help her sister-in-law & niece. There she meets Mati, who‘s Afghan. They face cultural differences between their families. Will they be able to overcome them?

This was an important ya book on differences for all ages. I liked both of the MCs. The verses for Mati‘s POV were interesting. It was a short, fast read. It also had a HEA.

So far in August I have read TWENTY books. I‘ve totally been feeling that reading vibe this month which is making me feel great. I return to work tomorrow so I‘m not sure how much more reading I‘ll get done the rest of the month. #backtoschool #teacherlife #endofsummer

Loving this book so far! Went to @MidnightBookGirl YA event @FountainBookstore and had a blast. Couldn‘t leave without picking up this book and Christina June‘s Everywhere You Want To Be.

I loved Katy Upperman's first book, Kissing Max Holden so I'm super excited to snag this arc of her upcoming novel!
