Advantages: great read, entertaining, makes you think

Disadvantages: none

Reading this book wasn't really my choice. I kept complaining in the evenings, that I finished all my books and haven't got anything else to read. So my parter went off and bought me this book. (isn't he just a sweetheart :-) ) And I'm glad he did, because I really enjoyed the storyline and the characters. It was very difficult to put the book down once I started.

The storyline:
The main character is Holly, who is a young widow and has to learn to live on her own and start a new live without her partner. She finds a lot of help from her family and friends, but mostly from her dead husband who left her notes that will guide her through this difficult time.

I don't want to tell you too much about the story, otherwise it will be boring for you if you want to read it. Which I would deffinitaly recommend.

I found the way it's written very witty, funny and easy to read. The story is obviously very sad and makes your eyes water at times, but it will make you laugh out loud as well. It made me think a lot about how it would be if I lost my partner and I can say, that it made me appreciate my relationship more and not take things for granted.

So go on, read it and see if it makes a difference to your life!
the price:
the rrp is £6.99, but my book is from Tesco, which had an offer of 2 for £7.

the author:
the book was written in 2004 by Cecelia Ahern, who has a degree in journalism and Media Communications. She was only 21 when she wrote this book, but some more followed like:
Where rainbows end
If you could see me now
A place called here

the book:
ISBN 978-0-00-726308-0
by Harper

Have fun reading!
As you probably know, the book is now a movie as well (which I haven't seen yet, so I can't comment on how close they stuck to the original storyline)

Summary: good book, go and get it!
