lifelongreader 's review for:
Love, Rosie
by Cecelia Ahern
This was such a fun read! I was not at all expecting it to be written through letters, chat messages, and postcards. Those types of books usually are not so fun because they don't allow me to get into the heads of the characters. However, Ahern made me laugh out loud, so it was definitely still entertaining. Its been a while since a book has done that, so that was nice.
My main problem with this book is that it is advertised as a romance. This aspect is more secondary--the book more chronicles the convoluted life of the main character, Rosie. And my god, does she lead a crazy life. Her story makes me understand how life can be so unpredictable and how you don't have control over some parts. It makes me glad that I will never be a young, single mom with no education. And because it just focuses on Rosie's life, it also was kind boring. It started to drag on about 2/3 into the book and I just quickly flipped through the pages.
The romance basically hinges on the fact that the two characters are best friends. However, they never admit that they feel more than just friendship. You would think that when two people are jealous of each one another's significant others, they would understand that it means they LIKE each other and perhaps should be TOGETHER instead of with other people. But that's just me lol. Also, the romantic elements of this book were more in the last 5 pages. This is why this story should not be called a romance.
