Review
SPOILERS AHEAD
Wow, just wow. This is book is a literary masterpiece! It's quite fast paced considering Rosie was just reading the letters, notes, e-mails and instant messages. Cecilia writes so well and wow, she really gives you such amazing new ways to look at life. This book is about learning to endure pain because after all, it what makes us human. Alex and Rosie are just too cute because they were already thirty and they still love each other the way they did when they were teens. They wouldn't admit that they love each other, BUT THEY ARE. It took them more than 50 years to believe finally believe that. This book is so beautiful because even though Alex and Rosie are the ones who push each other away, fate brings them back together and you can't mess with the way fate works.
The ending. Oh the ending! It wasn't enough to satisfy my reading needs but it sure was enough to make me cry. If you think that his book is just another sappy romance read, go back a few steps and come back here when you really read the book. It not just another great contemporary, it is the great contemporary! Five out five stars for Cecilia Ahern. GO READ IT, ALRIGHT?
