In this poignant novel from million-copy bestselling author Imogen Clark, an extraordinary final wish brings five lives together forever.

Just turned eighteen, Romany is on the cusp of taking her first steps into adulthood when tragedy strikes, and she finds herself suddenly alone without her mother, Angie, the only parent she has ever known. In her final letter, Angie has charged her four closest friends with guiding Romany through her last year of school—but is there an ulterior motive to her unusual dying wish?

Each of the four guardians possesses an outlook on life that Angie wants to give her daughter as a legacy. Three of them have known each other since university: the eternally nomadic and exotically named Tiger; the shy and practical Leon with his untapped musical genius; and Maggie, a brilliant lawyer who doesn’t know her own abilities. But the fourth guardian is a mystery to the others: they’ve never even heard of former model Hope before…

As the guardians reflect on their friendship with Angie, it becomes apparent that this unusual arrangement is as much about them as it is about Romany. Navigating their grief individually and as a group, what will all five of them learn about themselves, their pasts—and the woman who’s brought them all together?

Product description

From the Publisher

Bestselling author Imogen Clark’s new novel poses a very difficult question: What would you do if a friend asked you to help raise her child? This moving book starts as a group gathers for the reading of their dear friend Angie’s will. What’s revealed manages to upend their lives more than they thought possible. In her will, Angie has asked them to guide and parent her eighteen-year-old daughter.

It’s an opening that immediately captured my imagination. What an ask, what a responsibility to put upon your friends, not least because Tiger, Maggie, Leon, and Hope hadn’t already agreed to it. I wondered, How would I respond in such a situation?

As the characters tackle their new roles with varying degrees of enthusiasm, we see them slowly uncover the tangled webs of friendship, the secrets, the stories, and the memories that they share. Ultimately, they learn that the opportunity to pick up where Angie left off with her daughter offers them the opportunity to heal old wounds and create new beginnings. For me, Impossible to Forget is just that—a novel that has stayed with me long after finishing.

—Victoria Pepe, Editor

The story line is woven between long time friends until a sudden death of one of them, leaves them working on all their futures. Great ending and a follow up story could work as well.

Really enjoyed this book.

Reviewed in Australia on 11 February 2022

I really enjoyed this gentle, poignant story.

Romany finds herself without the only constant in her life, her mother, Angie. She has never known her father and even though she is nearly 18, it is still tough to negotiate her way through life completely alone. Luckily for her, Angie has thought of everything and has appointed 3 of her closest friends to help guide Romany through the next phase of her life. Plus Hope, who is much younger and a more recent friend, and whom no-one can really figure out.

The story starts when Angie, Maggie, Leon and Tiger meet at University, just starting out in the world. They are all very different people and Angie in particular is divisive. She is brash, rude and confident and all the men want to be with her. Women don't particularly like her much, but Maggie, despite herself, finds herself being drawn to Angie anyway.

I enjoyed reading about the different paths that the friends took and how Angie came to befriend Hope as well. Angie clearly had a very high EQ and that was her special gift. She also dearly loved her daughter, so that was endearing as well.

Lovely story about friendship, love, acceptance and the ability of friends to see something in you that you don't necessarily see in yourself.

4.5 stars from me.

Thank you to NetGalley and Lake Union Publishing.

This book is impossible to forget!

Reviewed in Australia on 1 February 2022

For me, this is Imogen Clark's best book yet. I love, love, loved it!

The timeline moves through several decades from the mid-80s onwards and follows a group of friends who met at university and maintained the friendship through the years. When one of them passes away, her will asks them to step up and help to care for and mentor her teenage daughter, along with a newer friend who they don't know.

Told from different perspectives, including the new friend and the daughter, the characters really came to life for me. The storyline wove in and out of their lives at the various stages with great skill and sensitivity, and I found it hard to put down. A great read and I definitely recommend this book!

This book was amazing. I loved how we got to learn about the characters and what shaped them to get to the end point if the story.
I loved how we went from past to present day. The descriptions of York were fantastic, I felt like I was walking those streets.
I think all of Imogen Clarks books are good, but I think this is her best one do far.

I was lucky to receive an early copy from the publisher, read this in one sitting and loved every page. As usual this author has given us a book with brilliantly drawn characters, sub-plots that converge seamlessly and a captivating storyline. Perfect summer reading downunder.

Definitely Impossible to Forget

I was given a advance copy of this book and give my review without pressure or reward. It was an easy and most enjoyable task.
This is Imogen Clark's best book yet, Impossible to Forget is exactly what this story is and the main character Angie fits that bill from the very start. I was totally drawn in by the opening scenes and wanted to know why Angie had chosen these particular people to look after her daughter Romany. Every character in the book is so well drawn and unique and they pull on your emotions easily. Their interactions are a joy and allows the reader to visualise, sympathise, walk alongside and laugh and cry with them.

Fantastic

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 February 2022

Imogen Clark is a wonderful author. I have read all her books and had this one on pre order. It certainly lives up to her others, a truly emotional and entertaining read. The book features Romany, an 18 year old who has just lost her mother, Angie. In her will, Angie has appointed four guardians for Romany. Three are old friends from university and one is a much younger, newer friend. Some of the book goes back to when they all met, and the rest centres on how they support Romany in the year after Angie dies. In the process, they also learn a lot about themselves. It is a really well written story, which never becomes over sentimental. Highly recommended.

So enjoyable, wonderful characters and the emotional content spot on. For older readers I am sure it will evoke those memories that have been buried for years so beware of the sudden explosion of those buried memories!

A fantastic book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 March 2022

I have had the honour of reading both an ARC and listening to an audio version of this book and it’s been fantastic. I’d say that it’s definitely my second favourite so far this year and that is only because of some very tough competition.

When I first began reading it, we hear of Ange’s death and the guardianship of Romany her daughter. Then the book transports us back to when Ange met them way back in uni. I was quite confused about why her death was at the beginning of the book, and there’s no real mention of it again until maybe the last quarter of the book. That said whilst I don’t necessarily feel it adds anything at the beginning it doesn’t detract from it either.

My one small and it is really small criticism was that I would have liked more surrounding Ange’s death and illness. It is kind of glossed over in the book. One minute she is there and the next gone. Whilst I know a death is a rather macabre topic, I do think it would have added even more depth to the story and created an even deeper emotional connection with the characters. That said it hasn’t detracted so much for me to drop it down to four stars so it’s still pretty good.

The funniest part for me…..Tiger’s real name!!!

Honestly read this book, it’s brilliant!

Fabulous!

I think this might be my new favourite of Imogen’s books. The story of 4 friends and their lives together, Impossible to forget, navigates 30+ years of friendship and the impact one person has on all their lives. Not maudlin but deeply, deeply emotionally impactful, this is a joy of a story. I didn’t want it to end. No, really, if I had one criticism it would be that I have a few questions that I would have liked answering - like how did the gig go, has there been a house move, who got a new job…

But that’s just a very small criticism!
