Love, Rosie by Cecelia Ahern
4.0

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.
