Love, Rosie by Cecelia Ahern

4.0

An odd choice to tell a love story through emails, instant message transcript and cards/letters sent by the characters. I thought it worked in this instance - the story of Rosie and Alex. I did find the jumps in time weren't always clear though and that we missed out on "seeing" things happen. The reader has to rely on how the character tells it to someone else. There were many funny parts (I found myself horrified but snickering when Rosie meets the "serial killers" in the bar and the ensuing situation), but also a lot of frustration on the part of the reader. If only Alex had told Rosie what really happened on her 16th birthday! There were a lot of coincidences that kept them apart but the ending was satisfactory in my opinion, though a long time coming in their lives!

I liked the story of Katie and Toby as well. A nice little parallel to the overall Rosie and Alex arc!
