"Cuando se cae un vaso o un plato al suelo se oye un estrépito. Cuando una ventana se hace añicos, una pata de mesa se quiebra o cuando un cuadro se desprende de la pared se oye un chasquido. Pero en lo que al corazón atañe, cuando éste se rompe lo hace en el más absoluto silencio. Dirías que siendo algo tan importante debería hacer el ruido más fuerte del mundo entero, o incluso emitir al­gún sonido ceremonioso como la vibrante resonancia de un címbalo o el tañido de una campana. Pero guarda silencio y casi deseas que haga un ruido que te distraiga del dolor.
Si hay algún sonido es interno. El corazón grita y sólo lo oyes tú. Es un grito tan fuerte que te zumban los oídos y te duele la cabeza. Se retuerce dentro de tu pecho como un gran tiburón blanco atrapado en el mar; ruge como una osa a la que han arrebatado su osezno. Eso es lo que parece y así es cómo suena, como una enor­me bestia que se revuelve presa del pánico en una trampa, rugiendo como si fuese prisionera de sus propias emociones. Pero así es el amor: nadie queda fuera de su alcance. Es tan desaforado como eso, tan vulnerable como una herida en carne viva expuesta al agua salada del mar, pero cuando el corazón se rompe, lo hace en silencio. Sólo gritas por dentro y nadie te oye."

This is one of those bittersweet books that has stuck in my mind. After I’d read the first chapter, and realised it wasn’t quite what the blurb had lead me to expect, I was almost put off reading it - right then I was looking for an uplifting read rather than something sad. It made me cry but it was still uplifting! If that’s your thing, you’ll enjoy this book ;0)

One truly amazing story. Its not exactly about love.for me. For me is about believing and hope. A beautiful story about how far hope and believe can lead you.

I enjoyed this book for the most part, but I felt like it was a little slow going and at times wasn't sure if we were in the past or present. The premise of the book was different and interesting and will I liked it I feel that there were somethings that were unanswered.

I liked the concept of an invisible friend becoming her love interest. Never read anything like that before. Really sweet.

A cute story about a woman and an invisible friend. Elizabeth is a control freak with a messy family history. Her adopted son (actually her nephew) comes home one day with a friend, Ivan, that she can't see. Ivan usually works with children but Elizabeth is a special case. Soon she can see him but doesn't realize that Luke is the only other person who can see him also. Ivan and Elizabeth teach each other a lot about living.

A sweet story. The audio book was great; there are two readers, both with Irish accents.

And it is also clean :)
