I have been reading a lot of books over the years and just to put this habit into good use, I thought of writing reviews about these novels. I will try to write a review for every book that I read from now on and if I can, I may also write something about the books that I've read in the past. That is, if I can still remember those novels.
One book that really entertained me is "Love, Rosie" by Cecilia Ahern. Ahern is the daughter of the former Irish official, who has a Journalism degree under her belt. I heard of Ahern for the first time when the movie "P.S. I Love You" came out. I was not that interested on the book, and I did not watch the movie either because I was, at that moment, under the spell of pain. A love just ended and I was not ready to watch or read anything that speaks of ended relationships. But after several trips to my favorite bookstore and countless visits to fora that recommends good reads, I was persuaded. In these actual and virtual visits, "P.S. I Love You" always stands out. So I thought, maybe the book is really that good that a recommendation list is never complete without it included. When I was about to finally buy a copy of this novel, I stopped and diverted instead to Ahern's other novels. After browsing a bit, I finally decided to purchase "Love, Rosie" instead. I guess, I really don't believe that I can read "P.S. I Love You" yet, since I know that I really am not yet ready.
Love, Rosie is a chic-lit novel that tells about childhood best friends who happened to be of the opposite sex. The novel is composed mostly of exchanged notes, letters, and e-mails between these two characters, Rosie and Alex. Each exchange tells of the latest happenings on their lives, full of their true feelings but coated in a wad of fabrications. Each stories shared to each other are true yet some are pretentious.
I laughed and cried throughout the novel and after reading the whole thing, I felt touched. The story speaks of the truth. What happened to Rosie and Alex is not impossible. The plot is not at all fiction. Of every relationship, some things are better left unsaid. But sometimes, you have to take the risk of losing something, or someone. So that you can freed your own self and be honest to the person concerned. Anyway, the person involved has the right to know the truth behind all the inconsistencies and conflicting behaviors you have been displaying. The truth shall set you free. And in this story, the truth has indeed set both Rosie and Alex free.
