magical, wonderful and beautifully written
Trisha Ashley
one of those captivating novels that simultaneously puts you under a spell as a reader while making you deeply, deeply envious as a writer! I’ve always loved Rowan’s writing, and it’s immediately obvious that this is something magical and new, yet with all her trademark heart.
Lucy Dillon
Totally charmed and moved by Rowan Coleman's The Summer of Impossible Things, a girls' own Back to the Future story set in New York

A book that defies reality and makes your heart sing...Rowan Coleman is one of those writers I will follow anywhere. I know however unlikely the story she will never lead me astray.

Spine-tinglingly beautiful. Prepare to lose your heart
Lisa Jewell
I adored The Summer of Impossible Things for so many reasons: for the intoxicating 1970s Brooklyn setting, the courage of Luna, and most of all for the compelling, intelligent story. So much to think about, and remember - impossibly page-turning, impossibly beautiful.
Kate Harrison
A gorgeous, rapturous novel, intensely atmospheric...a beautiful and heart-wrenching story of a daughter’s love for her mother. Like all Rowan’s novels, it’s life-affirming and shows the best of what humans can be; I felt that the world was a better place when I put it down. As a novel about impossible things, it made me think that anything was possible.
Julie Cohen, bestselling author of Together
Gloriously romantic, brave and brilliant with Rowan's magical touch - I loved it.
Rachel Lucas

Cara Delevingne
So clever, warm, affecting - and so refreshing to read of a daughter's love for her mother
Sarah Vaughan
Oh, my heart! I loved this book. It so deftly captures the bond between mother and daughter, the yearning loss after a parent is gone, and, through time slip, the intrigue of finding out what that parent might have been like when young... It was brave and heartbreaking, and kept me on tenterhooks...
Katie Khan
The Summer of Impossible Things is special - magnificent and magical, it truly captures the essence of love. Epic, romantic, tender and beautiful, I adored it.
