My favourite Cecelia Ahern book. Amazing story, yet quite sad too.

Will Cecelia Ahern ever not make me cry? Probably not.

This was another beautiful story filled with imagination and joy. I loved it. It was happy and lovely and sad at the same time. It was a lovestory, but then again it wasn't. It was about loving yourself and accepting yourself and choosing happiness over sadness. This book had a great moral and I can highly recommend it to everyone. This was my fourth Cecelia book and again, it was a definite win.

If You Could See Me Now didn´t really evoke any emotions or thoughts in me, even though it was very much trying to pull on the reader´s heart strings. In my case it just didn´t work. Ahern´s books usually have some magical element, sometimes I like it, sometimes I don´t. Unfortunately this one belongs to the latter group. I don´t find the writing to be anything special either. I read If You Could See Me Now in less than a day, but mostly because I´m desperately trying to reach my reading goal. Though I can´t deny that this is an easy, quick, and quite a relaxing read. It also cheered me up and as I haven´t read this kind of literature in a long while, it was a welcomed change.

Flere deler av boken va veldig bra, men den va alt for langtrukken, og inneholde mye unødvendig som gjorde boken kjedelig. syntes også flere av karakterene var nokså simple.

I bought this in a thrift store in Cashel, Ireland. How could I resist?

Ack. The premise is ridiculous, but for some reason, I read the book anyway. Its only redemption is the ending, which I'm shocked that I made it to.

Normally I love Cecelia Ahern's writing, but this one was just okay for me. The story was cute but didn't really capture or hold my attention.

I´ve had a hard time to get into this book. I started it years ago but it didn´t get my attention to it. So I started again this year and it surprised me how I actually really liked it.
I thought this was such a cute book, it might be the 2nd best one from Cecelia yet. I love cute little love stories like these. And I loved the middle parts of the book the best. I can´t wait to see this in a movie. Hugh Jackman as Ivan, I mean hello... He can be my imaginary friend anytime lol.
No, really. It is a great book. But the ending was kinda lame. I didn´t expect anything like it. And I was pretty much dissapointed. This book could have gotten a better rating if the ending would have been better.
But it´s a pretty good book, and worth reading.
