The Impossibility of Us by Katy Upperman

He is a swimmer like Callie and Chloe, and that’s one of the things they share in common.

He is a college student that is also hiding some dark feelings, but is extremely respectful of Callie’s space and moods, and is constantly making sure she moves at her pace. He was hired by Aunt Lucy to be her landscape specialist (yard boy) and help turn the outside of the Stewart House into something wonderful. Tucker Morgan is the boy she meets in Bell Cove at her aunt’s house. He saves Cal for the times he’s feeling lighthearted, or when he’s trying to force lightheartedness.” Callie, Chapter 2 “Usually I’m Callie, but it’s my full name, Calliope, pronounced sternly, when I’ve done something to upset him. This story is about her journey to start living again, although for the longest time she has not allowed herself to be happy because of the guilt she harbors over what happened to Chloe. She is a broken girl, resorting to smoking weed to dull her senses, and the loss of her sister has completely broken her.

It has almost been a year since Chloe died in Bell Cove, and Callie feels extremely guilty that she was not able to save her sister. She is dealing with immense depression, grief, and guilt over the death of her younger sister Chloe. I’m slowly becoming a fan of contemporary, and this book really turned me on to try more contemporary books.Ĭallie Ryan is the protagonist in this novel.
