I have just finished reading this book. I had lots of books that I had read and felt that although I may have enjoyed the book I didn't see me reading it again whereas there is books that I know I will read over and over again (the devil wears prada - never get bored of that book!), Anyway I joined the website readitswapit and you advertise the books you want to swap, then people can contact you to say that they want your book and you get to choose 1 of their books and vice versa. Each person pays postage and packaging but you get a book to keep from it. This is where this book came from as it looked the best book out of the other persons list.

The story is about a girl called Tamara. Tamara's life is pretty good. She's a teenager and her family are fine, and she seems popular with her friends. Just a typical teenager I would say. 1 day Tamara's life changes though when her dad commits suicide and her and her mum end up leaving the vilage where they stay and moving in with family members. At first this seems to be ok moving to a different place, but with her mum acting strangely reclusive and her aunt Rosaleen being so weird then Tamara wonders what is going on thesedays. The village where she is staying is pretty boring but this changes a bit when the travelling Library comes along.

Tamara gets a book, but it ends up being a blank book - pretty boring isn't it, but one day she looks in the book and sees that it is a diary, but it has been written dated the next day. Where are these thoughts coming from? Can they be true? When the next day plays out exactly how the diary predicted then Tamara is left wondering what is happening.

How did I find this book? Well I wasn't overly keen on it.I felt that the middle part of it dragged on too long. There seemed to be only so much of Rosaleen's odd behaviour that I could take and I actually kept putting the book down and not bothering to go back to it for a few days I did still want to get to the bottom of the story, but being over 400 pages and not overly interesting to me then I just knew i'd get to it in the end.

I probably woundn't recommend it from my point of view, but I see that others on the site like it, and I would say this is a typically Cecelia Ahern style of book - that bit magical, whereas I felt the book I have reviewed before - The Gift although was magical, but that bit different style.

If you like her books then you should read it, but I know reading this once was enough for me.
