Two modern day Grimm's fairy tales. Delightful, creepy, enthralling.

Cecelia Ahern's stories are always magical, even when they seem to be about little things in a completely normal person's life. These two stories are short and easy to read, but the imagination of the author is wonderful as always, and the first story was really creepy, perhaps comparable to Neil Gaiman's Coraline. I hope she'll do more short stories, but I love her novels as well and it seems to make no difference which form she uses, it's always good.

Girl in the Mirror
Lila changes her destiny in an expected way when she goes against her grandmother’s warnings about a family secret on her wedding day.
The Memory Maker
How far will you go to save cherished memories about your first love when they start fading? One man finds a way to relive them but the cost is higher than the prize.

Cecilia Ahern gibt ja vielen ihrer Romane (oder auch allen?) schon einen bitteren Beigeschmack, trotz der Zauberhaftigkeit, der Fantasie und meist auch der Romantik darin, aber hier ist es noch um einiges stärker. Deshalb konnte ich trotz der fantasievollen Kurzgeschichten, die in einem sehr leichten, schnell lesbaren Stil geschrieben sind, nicht mehr als 3 Sterne vergeben. Der Inhalt liegt mir dafür einfach zu schwer im Magen und lässt mich unbefriedigt zurück.

Loved the second story, Memory maker. It was beautiful and tearjerking ❤️ ^_^:-(

The memory maker is a great short-story which stimulates reflection and in-depth interaction. I give that one 5 stars.
Girl in the mirror on the other hand is a very strange story and I can only give it 3 stars because I like Ahern in general very much. Maybe I also just don’t get her point in this one, but it is definitely too dark and the end is not satisfactory, compared to what one is used to from Ahern.
