The Book of Tomorrow
by Cecelia Ahern
What a cute little modern fairy tale! I have a soft spot for magical realism and it is rendered beautifully in this novel. Tamara is a fully fleshed-out character...however, most of the other characters seem either a bit contrived (Rosaleen is pretty unrealistic) or two-dimensional. I was delighted with the slowly unfolding mystery and Tamara's use of the diary to try and discover clues. I also loved the underlying theme that one book can change your life :)
Even though this was in the adult fiction section of my library...I'm pretty sure this is a young adult novel. It definitely had the feel of a book geared towards high school readers as it is a story of Tamara's self-discovery (FYI: there's a bit of teen drinking and sex).
Overall, I thought this was an entertaining read...an enjoyable way to spend a few hours.
