A classic Cecilia Ahern novel complete with romance and magic and mystery. A good, light read.

I dont normally read chick-lit, but I don't think this book quite fits in the genre as I love any story with a magical element. I think she might be my guilty pleasure!

Surprising!!!!! I thought this books was a easy kind of beachy read which was shallow, overly girly, and not complex at all. Turnes out that the plot is really well worked out, and the book is actually very interesting, and unexpected.
I have to say that it did not really at any point get boring, because it seems as if every word written was essential to the outcome of the story. I deffinetly bonded with the main character, and understood where she came from. Interesting thing btw: At the beginning I was baffeled about how shallow the characters were, but they deffinetly grow as you read. You actually feel the same way about the characters as the main character (Tamara) does.
I would deffinetly reccomend this for all girls out there who sometimes wish things were undone, untold, and that they could have changed the past, or the future. I really liked it, and it was actually quite mysterious. Reccomended!
Oh! And I was actually surprised about how often Tamara was swearing, but it was deffinetly needed for us to get the right impression of her. And to be a young-adult novel it was very little kissing and sex involved, which does not bother me, but it would have been natural to say some more about it than there was said.

And she's back! I've been hugely disappointed in Cecelia Ahern's last few books but this one is back to her former glory with Ps I love you and Love, Rosie. I tore through it in just a couple of days and highly recommend it!

Whenever I finish a novel from Cecilia Ahern, I just sit there; absolutely entranced. She plays the role in such empathy; draws out the story so precisely as though it were occurring right before her eyes. They're magic, I think she was a Hogwarts student or something.
Tragic, funny, mysterious; this book unravels life's lessons to the reader in an intriguing manner. I am mesmerized by the whole mischievous and enigmatic idea.
Despite being absolutely mean, I loved Tamara. Because her acts weren't emerging from her innocent, loving heart. However, I hated the "possessiveness" of Rosaleen. Despite her kind actions, her heart was a black piece of coal. Sister Ignatius is my favourite character of all; with her white heart, kind actions, hearty laughs.

It was whimsical and fun. For a book about a book that tells the future occurrences it sure kept me guessing.
