QUIERO MÁS. MUCHO MÁS.
¡¿CÓMO VA A TERMINAR AHÍ?!
QUIERO SABER CÓMO ESTÁN ALEX Y ROSIE JUNTOS. NECESITO MÁS.
Bueno, lo amé. Realmente. Desde la primera página sabés cómo va a terminar, pero eso no te detiene y lo lees igual. No me arrepiento de haberlo hecho.
Ahora sólo me queda ver la película y decepcionarme porque, por lo que vi en el trailer, no es nada fiel al libro. Pero está Sam Claflin y eso hace todo mejor, ¿no?

The story is cute here, but the way it is written annoyed me a little. It is made up of a bunch of letters, e-mails, text messages, instant message conversations, etc. Never is there a section that gets you all caught up. I mean, it's easy enough to grasp what is going on, and it is definitely a quick read, but I guess I just wish there was more detail.
Normally I don't like books that are in a letter format, but it was executed well, this was a comfort book that took a day to finish, no wonder there as fated romances are my weakness.
A light read that hits the spot.
Thanks to my sister I discovered a new love

1.5 stars, this needed to be at least 200 pages shorter. im mentally exhausted
Love, Rosie follows two characters— Rosie and Alex— who have known each other since they were five and are clearly meant to be together but never actually pass the level of best friends.
The book starts off going over their childhood through high school years, with them planning to leave their England homes to go to university in Boston. However, Rosie learns that she is pregnant from a one-night stand and decides to stay home to become a single mother.
This book is fully comprised of letters, emails, and Instant Messages— a writing strategy that threw me off at first but that I wound up falling in love with. It allowed the story to remain very fast-paced— I wanted to keep reading at all hours of the day just to find out what happened to these characters!
That being said, I think that a lot of parts were somewhat wordy and unnecessary— I found myself dozing off during long passages. I think it would have been better to keep with the somewhat short letters and emails and perhaps cutting some of the different plotlines happening (THERE WERE A LOT OF THEM!)
Overall, 3.5 stars. Such a fun and endearing read that I will certainly revisit at some point in my life!

Cute story but made me very frustrating at times being that these two best friends couldn’t be honest with each other for twenty years because timing wasn’t right. This book was told through a series of letters, emails and instant messages which I thought was a cute concept and made for an easy read. Interested to see if the movie adaptation is exactly like the book seeing that there were many parts of his book that frustrated me.
I really enjoyed the story, but I just don´t think that books that are written out of letters and messages are for me. They made reading this book a little annoying. I watched the movie immediately after finishing Where the rainbows end, it´s called Love, Rosie, and I thought it was wonderful. It was different from the book, a lot, but sometimes it isn´t such a bad thing.
I loved this book so much, it did bother me that Rosie and Alex kept missing opportunities to be with each other. I felt as if the ending could have been better though after the built up that these characters have had, since they have known each other since they were very young, I expected their moment to be more beautiful and romantic.
"You deserve someone who loves you with every single beat of his heart, someone who thinks about you constantly, someone who spends every minute of every day just wondering what you're doing, where you are, who you're with, and if you're ok. You need someone who can help you reach your dreams and who can protect you from your fears. You need someone who will treat you with respect, love every part of you, especially your flaws. You should be with someone who can make you happy, really happy, dancing on air happy. Someone who should have taken the chance to be with you years ago instead of becoming scared and being too afraid to try."
Through their exchanges and constant communication, we are able to experience the reality that these characters have been through. However, I do feel that this letter from Alex is the most real and honest one he's ever sent Rosie (aside from the one including his love towards her), which made me realize how many of us experience so much in this life and at times, we aren't honest with ourselves, we don't face reality the way we should be.
So many things can occur during our life and deny ourselves of happiness and even certain opportunities because we have fear whether it is of failure or rejection. This story and these characters made me reflect on life even though I know this story isn't one to take that seriously. I kept thinking how Alex could have been so happy, many years ago with Rosie only if he hadn't had any second thoughts. I really enjoyed reading this and seeing the transition these characters made as they experienced life.

No. Nope. Why did I waste my time on this? Oh right, because I have an insane weakness for Sam Claflin (who plays Alex in the movie). Once I hit the middle of part three, I skimmed to the end. It was boring, it dragged on and on and onnn, and I didn't like either of the main characters. The book could have ended happily like five hundred times, but nooo, it had to be dragged on for their entire lives. I also really hated the format of the entire thing being written in letters; it felt really awkward sometimes where they would be recounting events that JUST happened (like a phone call or something) just because the readers were only getting the letters.
I still have high hopes for the movie, because it won't be only letters and like I said, I just love Sam Claflin. I would say this is definitely skip the book, see the movie.

This was a heartwarming story. I think enough has probably already been said about it, but how can you not love Rosie Dunne? She fumbles and falls, but she refuses to stay down. And her successful best friend Alex Stewart is always there to brush off her knees and help her to her feet. And all along, you just know they're meant for one another, but somehow, some way, something always gets in their way. I wanted to scream at them to stop doubting themselves and just go for it, but alas, the timing never seemed to be right.
I love the way Ahern told this story entirely in letters, instant messages, and emails. It felt intimate--like you were reading something from a good friend. It was a big departure from the way P.S. I Love You was told, but certainly not in a bad way. Her innovation is refreshing.
