"This story was a bit of a pleasant surprise for me because I thought it was going to be a dud and it ended up being much more intriguing and engaging than I originally expected it would be. It's a story about two people, a guy, and a girl and their paths cross via an e-mail sent to the wrong e-mail address. Bee and Nick end up constantly communicating via their e-mail thread/chat and they get to know each other and then become attached and start to fall in love with each other.<br/>This book threw me because all I was expecting and thinking was going to happen is the same old kind of rom-com type story, which I don't always like, but this was so much better. This had elements of sci-fi/a little fantasy all entwined with a rom-com storyline in a type of a contemporary setting. It had me thinking and lost in thought examining things in life and the story wondering if the ideas in this story were plausible or possible and I concluded that some of it was plausible but not all of it is possible, not likely anyway. <br/>I've been trying to think about how to review this to portray how good it is, but the more I'm writing the review, the more I realize I can't adequately portray it. Also, I can't say too much about it because a lot of what I think and want to say could ruin it and give some twists, etc. away that make it better to enjoy the story if you don't know when you're going in. So, yes this is a book that I think is probably best to go in blind to enjoy it the best. If you want to know the summary then check it out on Goodreads here, www.goodreads.com/book/show/58575269-the-impossible-us.<br/>Go check it out and read it, you won't be disappointed and you'll find yourself thinking a lot about things that come out of the left-field from the story in the books. Thanks so much to Berkley Publishing Group/Berkley and NetGalley for letting me read and review this fantastic read.
