Read FULL Review At: The Y.A. Bookworm BloggerImpossible is a Y.A. contemporary romance by author Komal Kant. Impossible has a very cliche boy and girl next door story-line, where both characters hate each others guts but have a mysterious past in which both of them used to be friends. The reasoning behind the end of their friendship is unknown at the beginning, but as we learn more about Ashton and Luca's history together, you can't help but wishing for a romantic reunion!The dynamic between Ashton and Lucas's relationship was, again cliche in the 'I hate you, but I love you' sort of way, but was completely addicting. Their sexual tension and hot-and-cold interactions makes it hard to stop reading, and that's not even including those swoon filled lines that made me, well, swoon! :PIn all honesty, I couldn't stand Ashton's character! She starts off as being this huge b**** to not only Luca, but to other kids at her school as well, all because she wants to fit in with her other bitchy friends. She fits the definition of a bully perfectly, is materialistic and thinks she's better than everyone around her. What bothered me most about Ashton wasn't even the fact that she was a real b*****, it was the fact that I didn't see much growth in her. For one the only reason she agrees to go out with Luca is because he suddenly gets a makeover that, I guess makes him "acceptable" to be around. Her shallowness continued to be a dominant part of who she was and I was completely turned off by it. That being said, although by the end of the novel Ashton has evidently "changed"....it wasn't enough to make me actually like her as a protagonist.Luca on the other hand was *sigh* ....pretty awesome! He has this whole gothic/emo look going on at the beginning (not that I'm goth or anything but I'm a girl who loves her black, lol) and proves to be much more likable than Ashton. In addition to being a good looking fella, he also manages to put Ashton in her place and even stands up for one of Ashton's victims. If that's not hot, I don't know what is!Overall, Impossible may have been cliche with a very hard to like main character, but I can't deny that I flew through it and came away pretty satisfied. The ending may have been a tad rushed, but all in all, I think it's a pretty good read! I'm looking forward to reading more from this author in the future!
