The Book of Tomorrow
by Cecelia Ahern
Whilst there are certain books which are not meant for anyone, there are some unusual books, which no matter how much time you read them, every single time changes your whole self. I could practically see that I'm not the same person as the one who read this very same back a year ago. But still the story was good as new and I noticed details I haven't before. It surely awoke in me a different feeling from last time I read it. It more like feels to me as a track record of what I was and that I've become. Only certain books can do that & as Cecelia says they indeed find us. I'm relinquished that this book found me not just once, but about everytime I lost my way :)
Update 5/3/18
Tamara Goodwin is not much of a likeable character initially. And that sucks because none of the other characters were either. Most of them fell flat. Usually Cecelia Ahern's novels have a character or an element you can somehow identify with which makes relating to the story much more easier but except for the leather bound diary which Rose later comments on , which is also not properly explained, nothing about this story really keeps you at the edge of your seat. Rosaleen is a freak, Arthur is a doormat, Laurie is an idiot and Tamara's mom is just as interesting as a cardboard. The plot doesn't have anything interesting and I found myself skipping the pages of history about the castle taken probably directly from Tamara's school project report, that was boo..ringggg. I'm all for world building but I couldn't stop yawning. Wesley and Sister Ignatius were the okayish fun elements. And of course Ahern's quotes are great. And the diary was a good fantasy element up to a point too which is why instead of from 4 to 2, this book still has 3 stars, but I'm definitely removing it from my favorites shelf.
