Impossible
When a high-powered gallery owner collides with a wildly offbeat artist, it’s the perfect recipe for disaster. But in her 63rd bestselling novel, Danielle Steel proves that when two hopelessly mismatched people share a love for art, a passion for each other, and a city like Paris, nothing is truly impossible…or is it?
Everything Sasha does is within the boundaries of tradition. Liam is sockless in December. Sasha is widowed, a woman who knows she was lucky enough to be married to the most wonderful man in the world and thankful for every moment they had. Liam is half in and half out of a marriage that only a “wacky” artist could manage, and that his own impossibly impulsive behavior has helped tear apart. But while Sasha has been methodically building her father’s Parisian art gallery into an intercontinental success story, Liam has been growing into one of the most original and striking young painters of his time. So while the two are utterly unalike–and a nine-year age difference stares them squarely in the face–the miracle of art brings them crashing together. Now the question is, can Sasha guard her reputation while juggling a secret, somewhat scandalous relationship? And how can Liam, who lives for the moment, put up with a woman who insists on having things her own way, in her own style, and at her own time?
For Sasha, it’s a matter of keeping Liam hidden from her grown children and well-heeled clientele as she commutes between New York and Paris and two thriving galleries. For Liam, it’s about creating chaos out of order, bringing out the wild streak that Sasha barely knows she has, of choosing pizza over foie gras, and making love when others are busy making money. That is, until a family tragedy suddenly alters Liam’s life–and forces a choice and a sacrifice that neither one of them could have expected. But from the snow falling on the Tuileries to the joy of eating ice cream by candlelight, the artist and the art dealer have tasted perfection. And giving up now might just be the most impossible thing of all.
With unerring insight into the hearts of men and women– and into the soul of the artist –Danielle Steel takes us into a world of glamour and genius, priceless art and dazzling creativity. From the luxurious galleries of Europe to the endless beaches of the Hamptons, ImPossible weaves an extraordinary tale of love and compromise, of taking chances and counting blessings. With brilliant color and breathtaking emotion, Danielle Steel has written her most compelling novel to date.

If I could have given this a lower rating, I would have.
Yawn.
No date for finishing the book. Cannot finish the book. Take the date as when having abandoned the book.
I thought it might be good for a light holiday read, but even bearing that in mind it's dreadful.
Anyone want a cheap book?

Pleasant, predictable story. Great for winding down in the evening before bed.

Pretty good story though I didn’t warm up to Liam at all in this book. I actually wish the last couple pages didn’t happen. However I still love me some Danielle Steel books!
Read
November 3, 2013I read this because I'd acquired it somehow - no idea how - and I thought it was worth reading just to see what it was about Danielle Steel that made her so successful. Well, I guess it's just being a prolific writer. How does anyone write that many books? Even if you don't care much about writing quality - and it appears she doesn't - getting that many words on paper must be hard work.
I got through it. Found the story line highly unlikely - yeah, probably impossible in fact. The name was appropriate. The characters weren't particularly believable. Sasha was too good to be true, and I struggled to believe a talented, beautiful, highly successful, extremely rich globe-trotting diva would behave as she did - particularly the constant crying and wasting away with grief! Liam was so ethical and committed that he took up with his mate's mother, slept with his wife's sister, embarrassed the hell out of his conservative much older lady friend behaving like a juvenile delinquent, ignored his kids for a year, went back to his wife after she got engaged to someone else, and then returned to Sasha after having dumped her for his ex-wife. Yeah - definitely ethical and committed!
The writing irritated because Ms Steel kept ranting on at length stating the very obvious and repeating herself. She demonstrated graphically to budding writers how to ''show'', then tell, tell, tell and tell again. Presumably she thinks her readers lack the intelligence to interpret the action scenes and deduce what is happening, or even to remember what she's told them from one page to the next.
The other thing that really grated was the use of the word ''as''. Often, there were three clauses in the same sentence beginning with as. (As she did this, as he did that, as that was happening over there....) Many sentences were grammatically incorrect, and I can tolerate that - just, but the overuse of clauses starting with ''as'' really bugged me.

"We all need someone to love. Life's just too damn hard to be alone."
Sometimes I feel like there are certain books that simply do not deserve to be rated. Impossible was one certain book for me. I picked it up when I found it in the library. The fact that it was by Danielle Steel was an added bonus. She is one of those writers whose books have received amazing reviews as far as I have heard. But this is still the second book that I picked up, and I have to admit that I yawned. I literally yawned at the stupidity that this book is. It took me almost 10 days to read it for this precise reason.
To begin, let me just point out how ridiculous that guy Liam was. I mean, I get it, Liam and Sasha were in love. Makes sense. But there is a point in one's life when one realizes that he/she is simply not compatible with the person. This was quite evident in Liam and Sasha's relationship right from the start. And no, that is not because Liam was Sasha's son's best friend. I mean, throughout the course of the novel, all people say is how ethical Liam is, how committed he is and what a great guy he is. But let's look at a few things he does, shall we? He cheats on his wife, stays away from his kids for over a year, manipulates his best friend's mother in sleeping with him, makes a fool out of her despite knowing how this could jeopardize her entire career, acts unreasonable for no apparent reason every time she uses the word "rules", is a big man-child and behaves like that, dumps the friend's mother to go back to his first wife even after she is engaged and then dumps the ex-wife to return to Sasha.
And Sasha? Well, she is a sophisticated and successful woman. So sophisticated (note sarcasm) that she agrees to sleeping with her artist on their first night out, acts like an age-obsessed person (I mean, quit repeating the same things over and over again, will you?), goes out with Liam again and again even after knowing the way he is going to end up acting, fights with her daughter over him, does nothing but cry when he leaves knowing fully well all the ways in which he harmed her and well, just acts like a wimp. In no way does she seem to be someone who has been described as the way she was.
And I don't even want to talk about Xavier. Which man is okay with his best friend sleeping with his mother? (And I'm guessing they are best friends because he never mentions any other friend of his.)
What irritated me the most was the excessive repetition of their thoughts. I mean, had I even skipped a couple of pages and then read the book, I would have just missed the repetition of the same dialogues and fights and the same thoughts, only using different words. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that Impossible quite suited the book because it is quite impossible to read this book without throwing it against a wall or even without a straight face!

There are some Danielle Steel books that i love: Zoya, Palomino, Granny Dan, Malice. This one was awful. It was boring and lacked any real passion in the characters. It was like she had an idea but had too much else going on in her life or was being pushed to a deadline and just wrote words. She kept repeated herself and it was so irritating! The main character couldn't get over her same issue through the entire book so they just kept breaking up and I actually started thinking he should just leave her for good because she just got so annoying. I was hesitant to ever read another Danielle Steel again, but I read a different one after that and it turns out it was just this book. I do not recommend it.

Probably one of the stupidest books I've ever read.
The characters, Sasha and Liam, didn't click at all. She was snobby, he was an immature ass, and they broke up like five different times throughout the book. Once because she wouldn't baby his stupid behavior, again because he wanted her to choose between him and her daughter (really? Who the hell makes someone choose between a love interest and their CHILDREN?) and AGAIN later when he decided to leave her to go back to his ex wife.
Just… just no.

Oh lord, this book is dreadful.
Let's start with the plot. There isn't really much of one. Fancy, rich woman meets a "wacky artist" and falls in love, and drama ensues. So far, so in line with Steele's MO, I guess.
I would forgive it if the characters were interesting and richly portrayed, but alas, this is not to be either. They are flat and unlikeable, and it's quite frankly completely unrealistic that this sophisticated, middle-aged woman falls in love with an irresponsible man-child.
The writing was amateurish and incredibly repetitive. I don't know how many times this lady went over the fact that she was a respected art gallery owner and her paramour a "wacky artist", but Steele needs to edit her books better. It got ridiculous.
Please don't waste your time on this drivel. There are way better books to read if you want romance.

Absolutely the worst book I've bothered to finish in a very long time. It was like a train wreck! You want to look away (aka, stop reading), but just...CAN'T! I guess I was hoping got would get better, but it didn't! I can't believe anyone would ever think a relationship like the one between Liam and Sasha could possibly last. Years ago I was in a similar relationship but knew better than to 'take him back' the first time. I can't believe she took him back not once...not twice...THREE times! I'm a forgiving person, but when it comes to someone with his level of immaturity...no. Just, no.

Again another DS I can’t remember reading, and the blurb reminder didn’t help. The blurb was huge! I rated it highly though, and I do like reading her despite the hard time many snobby readers heap onto this author. And that they do. I love reading these when the timing is right. Easy to pick up. Easy to put down.

I did not like this book what so ever. The romance and the main character was so frustrating. And in my opinion she should of just walked away period and not fight little boys.
November 26, 2017
I Loved it. it was amazing, the thing however that bothered me and at times annoyed me was the love that the two people has shared, and the fact that it was an on off relationship. why couldn't it have just stayed the as a full relationship and there was less leaving and coming back to each other every couple of month. Other than that it was a tremendous story which I thoroughly enjoyed regardless. :)

If you’re looking for melodrama, you’re better off, listening to Lorde. If you like stories with repetitive dialogue, static characters, flimsy conflict, and an odd sense of detachment, then boy do I have the book for you. The entire story is somehow written like a summary rather than a story. I feel like I was outside of it the entire time rather than being let into it, not that I wanted to after the first hundred pages. Don’t get me wrong, I’m very familiar with convenient plots for the sake of indulgent romance and escapism but the only thing I wanted to escape from is this book. I only finished it because I’m not a quitter and it’s one more book in my goodreads yearly goal.

In my younger years Danielle Steele proliferated my bookshelves, and I loved them. Tastes in book change based upon life circumstances, historical events, grief, etc,. but when I needed a book to meet a challenge my first thought was to go back in time and visit Ms. Steel. This book follows the formula of many of her previous adventures, so there is little need for description. I'm sure this is the not book by this author I will read.
February 19, 2013
The was one of the worst Danielle Steel's I have read. It was so predictable. I guess after reading two original books by her, I expected more. But, from reading the jacket I knew what to expect and then five chapters in I figured it out. I gave it two stars out of respect for the author. I'm so glad I'm done.

Terrible! I could write better than this, so could the squirrel that visits my garden. SHame on you Danielle Steel.
For the record I did not finish this book!

Impossível resistir à escrita de Danielle Steel e mais um livro terminei de ler desta fantástica autora de sucessos mundiais e posso dizer que voltei a adorar.
Este é o romance mais simples que li da autora, mas o que é certo é que sempre me prendeu ao longo das suas 392 páginas. Um romance entre uma galerista de sucesso que enviuvou e um louco pintor que começa a ser famoso é o mote deste livro que me deixou preso desde o seu início. É, sem dúvida, uma história bem simples, mas que consegue ter sempre curvas e contracurvas que acabam por prender o leitor com esta fantástica trama amorosa que não escolhe idades. Entre Paris e Nova Iorque, mas para o mundo, Impossível é sem dúvida um arrebatador livro que mostra que não existem idades para se amar, mesmo tendo que lutar contra tudo e todos pelos sentimentos verdadeiros.
Danielle Steel é a minha autoria de romances de eleição e mais uma vez e volto a frisar, embora com um romance bem mais simples que o normal, voltei a ficar bem preso a esta tela escrita que foi criada e que me fez companhia ao longo de uma semana.
Estando na colecção Grandes Romances da Bertrand Editora, Impossível de Danielle Steel é um romance simples que consegue conquistar qualquer um. Aconselho!

Le iba a poner una estrella porque me parece que escribe muy mal, pero le pongo dos porque al menos supo despertar muchos sentimientos en mí, así fueran todos negativos.
El libro es romántico, pero de esos romances insoportables de inicio a fin, que empiezan mal, se desarrollan mal, y terminan, para mí, mal.
No solo la historia no me parece buena, la narrativa de la escritora es pésima, repitiendo siempre lo mismo de inicio a fin, reiterando una y otra vez los hechos en vez de desarrollar a los personajes y sus sentimientos.
No sentí empatía por nadie, no soporté a la mayoría de los personajes, y no me sorprendí ni me dejó nada bueno, todo lo contrario, terminé el libro sintiéndome muy indignada con todos los sucesos.
Primera vez que leo a esta autora y la voy a volver a leer porque me recomendaron mucho otros de sus libros, pero al menos este me parece muy malo, de muy baja calidad.

I didn't even finish this book. Read the first 20 pages and had to stop before I lost anymore brain cells. I honestly don't understand how this got published because this reads like a pretentious self-insert reminiscent of a bad Wattpad fanfic. Obviously this is based on the fantasy of an older woman which makes me..... REALLY uncomfortable. Anyways, this left a bad taste in my mouth. Gross.

Simple sorry that dragged with love and love making for a long time
October 2, 2014
While I enjoy Steele's characters and enjoy reading her books for the relationships her characters are involved in, I found the book too long for the story. We are repeatedly reminded of the main character's age, that her boyfriend is a wacky artist, that he is the best friend of her son, that her daughter is a diva who doesn't want to see her mom involved in a relationship, that the main character is a rich business owner (art galleries)and that they travel a lot in high style. My question is how many times do we have to have the characters described to us?
The main character is a sound business woman who falls for an up and coming 'wacky artist' she agrees to show, after her husband passes away. She is constantly telling him that their relationship is impossible due to their age difference, and because he still acts like a four year old. We are taken on an emotional roller coaster as they are together, then they are not, then they are, then they are not.
If you don't mind needing to be reminded of the character's assets and flaws, you will enjoy this story.

This book was alright, but I think it is better suited to women who are older and have grown children. Much like the other Danielle Steel book I read (Rogue), her main character is a 40-50 year old widow/divorcee with grown children. A lot of the conflict is about how her new romance will affect her children and how it will reflect on her after her previous marriage. These are not things that I can easily relate to, and so the book was not as enjoyable for me as I assume it would be for someone in her target audience. I think I will put her books on the shelf for now.

I have read Danielle Steele for years but it has years since I read her. I was disappointed in the third person storytelling. I wanted her to reveal the story through the character conversations and events. It felt almost like someone was just telling me what happened in the book. And the characters were pretty wishy washy. Make one decision. One page later make opposite decision. I expect stronger characters in s book, even a romance novel.

تبي تضيع وقتتك بدون فايدة؟ اقرا الرواية :(
مافيها ولا مايستفاد واحد .. تكرار فضيييع في الأحداث والحوار والسرد يعني تقدر تقرا للفصل الرابع تقريبا ثم تطمر للعشرين وماراح تحس بأن فيه أحداث فاتت..هذا بغض النظر عن الأحداث الساامجة..
لا أنصح بقرأتها بتاتاً

I've read many Danielle Steel Books and I do enjoy them, however I found this one to drag. The main character seems undecided about everything and it gets to be a bore. Not the best Danielle Steel that I've read.

I think this was her best book. It captured how something unlikely could happen btwn 2 people who never would have been a good match. But It could have been more realistic

The usual romantic angst expected of Danielle Steel. A widow who is the owner of a major art studio falls in love with one of her younger artists. At least the sex was not descriptive.
