This is such a feel good romance novel that I smiled through the entire book! Who knew that such a chance encounter that happened repeatedly would lead to true love? A happy and fun read coupled with the British humour I enjoy. Well worth it.

Really enjoyable and heart warming. I hadn't heard of this author before and I have no idea why I'd not! Enjoyed her style of writing

While travelling around Europe, Emmy meets William one night by some crazy misfortune, i.e. getting punched in the face by her friend, and they fall immediately in love. I'm generally not a huge fan of the instalove trope, so I wasn't that taken by Emmy and William's whirlwind romance, which also happens over a number of coincidental encounters. Then there is this huge epistolary section following Emmy and William over a year or so as they try to keep in touch. I don't mind a change in style, but the letters felt very clunky to me and sort of ruined the flow of their story. I had trouble relating to Emmy and William and I didn't find either of them particularly likeable, so I didn't feel too invested in their romance. There were some opportunities for a more dynamic story (e.g. developing Emmy's friendship with Pam and maybe confiding in her or perhaps explaining why William failed to contact Emmy when he always had her contact info), but I felt like everything fell a little flat for me. There were also some aspects of the story that I really didn't like, so in the end, An Impossible Thing Called Love just wasn't the right book for me.
