This is the second time I’ve read this book and I loved it as much as the first, if not more this time.
The Book of Tomorrow tells the story of Tamara Goodwin who, after the tragedy of her father’s death moved into a tiny village with her aunt and uncle, a million miles away from what she’s used to. That’s when a traveling library arrives, bringing with it a mysterious, large leather-bound book locked with a gold clasp and padlock. What she discovers within the pages takes her breath away and shakes her world to its core.
Tamara is fundamentally an unlikable character. She’s spoilt and doesn’t know how good her life is until long after it’s all gone. However, this is what makes her such an interesting and ideal protagonist. She’s every fifteen-year-old girl living in the modern day.

Dit was een ander boek dan ik van te voren had verwacht. Het kwam wat traag op gang, waardoor ik bijna wilde stoppen met lezen, maar ik ben blij dat ik doorgezet heb. Het bleek toch een mooi boek te zijn, geschreven in Cecelia Ahern haar typische schrijfstijl, een tikje vreemd en altijd met een beetje magie. Ze probeert altijd op de een of andere manier een boodschap mee te geven.

This one took me a little while to get into, but once I was in, I couldn't put it down. I haven't read a Cecelia Ahern that I didn't like.

Cecelia Ahern manages to entwine mystery and magic with incredibly relatable, gritty real life, creating an unusual and thoroughly enjoyable balance of genres not usually found. Superbly written.

Another great book from Cecelia Ahern. I love how her stories have a mysterious, fairy take edge. Fantastic characters and great plot. I only wish it didn't feel so "rushed".
