Love, Rosie

Rosie and Alex are destined for one another, and everyone but them seems to realize it. Rosie's best friend since childhood, Alex never did live down the fact that he didn't invite her to his all-boys 10th birthday party. But that wasn't a mistake he'd repeat, and they had been inseparable after that ..until the day Alex got the news that his family was moving to Boston. At seventeen, Rosie and Alex are starting to see each other differently, and the move separates them just when their relationship seems as if it will finally turn romantic. Devastated, the two make plans for Rosie to apply to colleges in the U.S. Rosie gets into Boston University, Alex gets into Harvard, and everything is falling into place, when on the eve of her departure, Rosie gets news that will change their lives forever: Rosie is pregnant. And the father is not Alex. Her dreams for college, Alex, and a glamorous career are dashed against harsh reality, and Rosie stays in Dublin to become a single mother, while Alex pursues a medical career. As the years pass, the two continue to interact, but can't seem to find each other at the right time. But destiny is a funny thing, and in this novel, structured as a series of clever e-mails, letters, notes, and a trail of missed opportunities, Alex and Rosie will find out that fate isn't done with them yet.

I finished reading this book yesterday. It was such a beautiful 'friendship' story but I felt sad because Alex and Rosie 'expressed' their feelings when they were 50 years old..It took a long time for them to be 'a perfect' lover (finally)..hehe...When I went to Kinokuniya Bookstore at KLCC to buy some good books..I have browsed some other interesting books like eat, pray, love by Elizabeth Gilbert, If you could see me (also by Cecilia Ahern), and etc., but my heart didn't want let it go..(I mean this lovely (Love, Rosie) book). And I have made a good decision. :) I quite enjoyed with the story development. The author developed the story with her own style (letters, email, instant messaging, cards). You'll find there is no scripts/dialogues in this book. It's clean!..haha Well, guys please read this book! :) (especially to Aney)

Beautiful Hands,
- I want it real!
