I really enjoyed this book. I thought it was a really unique and interesting idea. I read it a while ago when I was younger but I would definitely read it again

This is my first Cecelia Ahern book. I put it on my to-read shelf after Catherine read it, because I always seem to have about the same taste in books as she does...and this one didn't differ. Like Catherine said, I liked it, but I'm not sure I loved it. The story line was creative, another world where lost things go. And it made me laugh all of the things that were there, like odd socks. To that I can relate. Where do all of the missing pairs of the socks go?

Bit crazy for Jenny-May Butler stuffs aaaaaaand confusing at first. Or maybe just because of unsync part that I don't understand??
When suddenly Sandy fall into a "Here" between she half-awaken at pedestrian walkstreet, when Greg hold her and keep babbling. I imagine she got car accident and something like that. It just a dream or what?? Maybe the answer is what.
The rest of the story quite amusing I love resolution part, the plot is unpredictable for several point of view I've made, yeah despite of "meh-part" the way to problem's peak I get bored.
This is my first Ahern book. I like her. That's it. Just it.

This is a fun, easy read. It puts ideas in your head, and makes you ask...what if this really is possible??

When Sandy Shortt is ten years old her classmate Jenny-May Butler disappears, and the very public search garners a great deal of attention for her small Irish town. Though Jenny-May lived across the street from Sandy she was more antagonist than friend but her mysterious disappearance obsesses Sandy. From that day on she finds herself preoccupied with finding all things that go missing (those single socks in the dryer, that , sweater you wore one time, the stray notebook, even something as trivial as a paper clip). Sandy looks for all lost things and grows more isolated from the rest of life.
I found myself relating to the description of Sandy’s obsession for “missing” those things lost (though i think i believe i might lose the meaning and the memory they held for me while Sandy just wants to understand where they go, how they go~but reading this reminded me of so many things i could never find~the anklet i lost and never found in my first boyfriend’s bed, the ring i lost the night i spent guarding the Greek theatre with my current crush~all the watches that disappeared in my apartment on Catherine Street {and it never occurred to the me who likes to think myself cynical that some things disappeared into roommates hands~until now} perhaps loosing things attatches even more meaning and memory to them than keeping them ever would…)
Though i have a bit of the OCD myself, Sandy takes it to rather dysfunctional levels. Her obsession with searching continues into adulthood when she becomes an agent for the Gardá Síochána (the Irish National Police Service~i get the Scotland Yard impression here), and later a Missing Persons investigator on her own. Cecelia Ahern delivers her story in There’s No Place Like Here in delectable pieces, she made me want to read more of her work (and i was rather surprised to discover she wrote P.S., I Love You.)
Sandy stumbles into a land of the lost and is at first somewhat elated to find all things that have ever gone missing. But as details of her life and those of Jack Ruttle (the man who had hired Sandy to find his brother just before she disappeared) are slowly unveiled she begins to “miss” the not only the life that she left behind (and had isolated herself from) but the chances she had never given herself. She finds herself longing to return to her life (and the life she might have if she tries…)
This book is going onto my favorites list (at least for the moment…)
