Six Impossible Things manages the near-impossible on its own, balancing insight and rollicking entertainment. The numerous secondary characters and finely detailed suburban neighborhood outside Sydney, Australia, feel true to life, and Dan’s struggle to accept his dad’s new life and the changes to his own is bittersweet. His crush feels like “someone has changed my default setting to ‘Estelle’ without my permission, or she’s become my brain’s screen saver.” If you are, or ever were, a teenager, you can likely relate. Dan is equal parts bully magnet and adorable charmer, an easy guy to root for even when he’s messing up (which happens often). Dan’s mother opens a boutique wedding cake business but chases away her clients by persuading them not to get married.
