The Life Impossible

Matt Haig

Having read it

★★★☆☆

For all its good themes, characters, words and meaningful observations and values in between its lines as well – all worth five out of five – it read a little too much like it was just an exercise in an idea looking for an ending, and a bit long, so didn’t quite work for me.

Still, maybe that was its point.

It did have a good pace to it, some humour and seriousness balancing its points, all alongside some truths that painted the life impossible that we all should try and be in (and with) more to seek and see its infinitesimal interconnectedness and beauty where and when we can – more so in these apparently progressive digital, attention-seeking times that are led by numbers, growth and profit.
