Almost forgot about this one. I've liked other books by Cecelia Ahern but this one didn't grab me at all. I found the whole idea behind the book to be too contrived (and this is not like me - I believe absolutely anything is possible in a novel) and as such I wasn't really swept away in the Romance of the story.

The main character and her love interest did not pull me in at all. On a few occasions I was frustrated by how she, Christine Rose, seemed to be too critical of her friends and not aware of her own failings. She chose to end her own short marriage and I almost felt as if her ex-husband was fortunate to have escaped her. Other parts of the story were not well-developed and took too much of my kindness to believe. Cecelia Ahern's gift for interesting characters popped through in the friends and family who supported Christine but not the woman herself. Sad to say, I wasn't very fond of her love interest either. Once I finished the book I cheerfully moved on to my next one without a thought for their happiness at all. This is not a good sign, usually I wonder what they'll do next and wish there would be a sequel. Not this time. Giving this book a 2-star rating only.
