Blurb
For the last ten years, Benji and Diego have not only been members of Star Shadow, one of the biggest boy bands in the world, but best friends. During the years of fame and fortune they've also held a front row seat to the callous cruelty of the music industry. As much as they've both wanted more from their relationship, it never felt worth it to trade what they have for something hot, heady and completely impossible.
But is it really?
After welcoming back their long lost member and making it through their reunion tour with a new lease on fame, life suddenly seems too short to continue settling for safety.
Benji and Diego could have everything they’ve ever wanted, but can they figure out how to choose each other? Despite every impossible thing the world intends to throw at them?
It’s never the end . . . it’s only the beginning.

Review
My Rating - 5 Stars!
If you read Terrible Things, you won't be surprised to find out that the next book in the Star Shadow series, Impossible Things, is equally as wonderful. Beth Bolden does a stellar job with the love story between band members and best friends Benji and Diego.
Their relationship is full of ups and downs, pushes and pulls. Both men have long loved one another, but have never been together. They've endured ten years of fear, bad timing, and chances gone wrong.
As they start to make their feelings known, they still have a lot of complications to face. One man's been fighting his bisexuality and longs to not be in the press. Meanwhile, the other longs to be famous and in the spotlight. Getting on the same page isn't automatic.
The heart of this story is the realistic difficulties involved with going from friends to lovers. The fear of ruining a friendship that means the world to you. The fear of going too fast. The fear of the sexual experience you've spent your whole life waiting for. I love these men. I love how deeply they love and how strong their longing for one another is.
There are so many things I love about these men. They are best friends, the chemistry is strong, but it's the desire to take things slow that I love best. It just seems so right, totally in line with the personalities involved. I appreciate that they have different goals and different ideas, yet still long to make their relationship work.
I love this band. I love their struggles, and their healing. I love the banter and I love the strength of their friendships.

The author has created an intriguing world of stardom and it's pitfalls. The men are all amazingly developed, both endearing and complex, and the storylines are emotional, deep, and full of heart. The flaws, the hardships, the struggles, and the manipulation the band endures all make for a gripping read. Readers will instantly fall in love with these men and won't want to put this book down until the end.
I highly recommend Beth Bolden's Impossible Things to anyone who loves a great rock romance. If you haven't read the first book, however, do so now. This series is just that amazing!
