Love, Rosie by Cecelia Ahern
4.0

(4/5) I LOVE THIS BOOK !! I am such a sucker for the best friends-to-lovers trope, but beyond that, I loved so many other things about this. Portraying the story through texts, emails, and letters was such a unique style that I honestly thought I would dislike it at first, but I soon realized how this made the book more interesting and easier to read. Another thing that I enjoyed to the fullest was the humor. It was just so genuinely hilarious at times to the point of getting teary-eyed or running out of breath. I also loved the depth of the characters and how they were mostly very likable despite their flaws and shortcomings.

Alex and Rosie had such a frustrating story (in a good way, of course), but their relationship was so sincere and comforting. Their timing was almost always wrong, but they never let that get in between their friendship, which said a lot about how much they meant to each other, whether in a romantic way or not.

On the other hand, this book also contained countless lessons about love, life in general, and many more. As cheesy as it may sound, I appreciated them very much, especially those emphasizing that life doesn't always go as planned, but it goes on nonetheless.

All in all, I have MUCH MUCH MORE to say, but this was such a beautiful read that had the perfect balance of the reality of life, love, and everything in between. Ahern did an incredible job of encapsulating Alex and Rosie's lives as individuals and how they found their way back to each other even after so many years. I undoubtedly enjoyed reading this and would certainly reread and recommend it!
