PEARCEWho knows you better than your best friend? Who knows your
secrets, your fears, your desires, your strange imperfect self? Edi
and Ash have been best friends for over forty years. Since
childhood they have seen each other through life's milestones:
stealing vodka from their parents, the Madonna phase, REM concerts,
unexpected wakes, marriages, infertility, children. As Ash notes,
'Edi's memory is like the back-up hard drive for mine.'So when Edi
is diagnosed with terminal cancer, Ash's world reshapes around the
rhythms of Edi's care, from chipped ice and watermelon cubes to
music therapy; from snack smuggling to impromptu excursions into
the frozen winter night. Because life is about squeezing the joy
out of every moment, about building a powerhouse of memories, about
learning when to hold on, and when to let go.For fans of Nora
Ephron and Sorrow & Bliss, We All Want Impossible Things is a
deeply moving, jubilant celebration of life and friendship at its
imperfect, radiant, and irreverent best._____'Smart and funny and
devastating...has huge Sorrow and Bliss vibes. I didn't want it to
end.' LAURA PEARSON'I absolutely adored this...what a beautiful,

both the heartbreak and yet vital necessity of a life lived with
deep friendship.' WIZ WHARTON'One of those books I will be buying
for everyone I know. A funny, moving, beautifully written
book...will stay with me for a very long time' JENNIE GODFREY'A
riotously funny and fiercely loyal love letter to female
friendship' AMITY GAIGE
