Reception

Anything Is Possible received positive reviews from critics,[6] who praised Strout as a master of the novel-in-stories form, with each short story filling in a piece of her “gracefully constructed narrative puzzle.”[2] According to Book Marks, the book received "rave" reviews based on twenty-eight critic reviews: twenty-five "rave" reviews and three "positive" reviews.[7] On Bookmarks July/August 2017 issue, a magazine that aggregates critic reviews of books, the book received a (4.0 out of 5) based on critic reviews.[8][9]

Writing for The New York Times, Jennifer Senior said, “Strout was born to be an omniscient narrator, born to flit and swoop from one crooked perch to the next.”[1]
