Where Rainbows End

Cecelia Ahern

3.76 AVERAGE


Parts of this book were really great and others just fell flat for me. The characters were brilliant and I loved that you could feel every emotion they were feeling throughout the book and came to feel connected to them. I did feel that the book was a little too long. I feel it could have ended about 100 pages before it did and still been a great book. I did enjoy the unique style the book was written in with the various instant messages, letters, and emails that made up the telling of the story. Overall it was an okay book, but not nearly as good as PS I Love You by the same author.

I laughed. I cried. I squealed. I snorted. I smiled. I rolled my eyes. Love, Rosie is a book for the ages. Written through letters, e-mails, texts, etc, this book is quite interesting (thought at many times, slow). Nevertheless, I loved it. Absolutely sweet, funny, and at times quite tragic, this book will actually grab your heart and squeeze it like a fresh lemon.

My second favourite book of all time! Such a feel good read and the best friends to lovers trope over TIMEEEE feels like it takes forever for them to get together but they always seem to keep in contact and you can clearly tell they have feelings for each other while being with other people. I love this and the movie. Childhood best friends to true love is so beautiful, Cecelia created the cutest book in the world.

'Read' this ages ago, but forgot to add it

love the movie

Creo que llevaba como un poco más de 100 páginas leídas o algo así y pensé que este libro sería de 5 estrellas, después con lo frustrante que es, pensé en que serían 4, pero cuando terminé de leerlo sentí algo especial y por eso decidí darle todas las estrellitas. Si es cierto que es frustrante y quizás desesperante, pero yo no lo sentí tan así. Creo que leí este libro en un buen momento porque lo tengo hace aaaaños, nunca lo había leído porque cuando me di cuenta que estaba escrito en cartas, emails, mensajes de texto y eso pensé que lo iba a encontrar muy fome y sabía que los personajes tardaban en terminar juntos, así que ahí lo dejaba y menos mal porque definitivamente no me hubiese gustado como ahora. No pensé que me fuera a gustar tanto y no pensé que me hiciera sentir una conexión con la historia y los personajes de la manera en que lo hizo.

It used to be called Rosie Dunne, I don't know why they changed it. It's also called Where Rainbows End. So much better than PS I Love You, if you liked that read this. Even though the movie was pretty bad.
