Love, Rosie
by Cecelia Ahern
I have never loved and hated a book this much in my entire life.
I loved it for all the little things in it, the inordinately long friend-zoned relationship, the heartfelt long letters and the cute short instant messages and the beautiful emails that together comprised the whole book.
I hated it because it was based on missed chances and it made me cry more than twice which is record breaker because I don't cry that often. I only dropped a singly tear while reading TFiOS. Seriously.
I honestly have never wanted, at this huge magnitude, to smack Alex and Rosie on the head with Love, Rosie for missing so many chances and being completely oblivious. They could have ended up together when they were twenty but no, Alex completely messed up.
And then they could have been together when they were thirty but no, stupid whatshisname had to come in between and ruin everything.
It's almost like whenever you think that they're finally going to get together just like they were meant to, something happens and they miss the chance.
But this book was so good and so, so romantic. It's the kind of book that stays with you long after you've read it. And the characters too, will never leave you. Especially Alex and Rosie.
The book, apart from all the negatives about missing chances, is also very positive. Rosie is such an optimistic person. It shows that most of the reality Teen Mom shows are just fake. If Rosie could build a career after getting pregnant at 18, so can every other woman. It was just so good to read how Rosie took every blow as a lesson and learnt from it and evolved. And even after all the setbacks she had to face, she finally got what she wanted.
And there is no spoiler here, because everyone expects this, Alex and Rosie get together. Finally finally finally!
I'm saying so many finalys because they decided to express their feelings toward each other after 50 freaking years. Now can you understand my exasperation with their constant missing chances?
This book should be placed at the apex of amazing love stories ever written in the past seven hundred centuries.
Oh, and just in case anyone is wondering why I gave it 4 stars and then said that it's at the apex of all love stories, well that's because it made me really frustrated. All I could do was sit and read while Alex and Rosie kept constantly messing everything up for their relationship. I so badly wanted to dive into the book and shake both of them violently so that they could get some blood in their brains and make the correct decision next time around.
All in all, the book is definitely a buy and keep and re-read. It's so good, you'll fall in love with almost all the characters and learn to forgive the ones that weren't so good in the starting.
I love it and I no that you all will love it too.
PS: It's KNOW not NO.
