If You Could See Me Now - Cecelia Ahern
This is the third book I have read by Cecila Ahern, the other two being "P.S I Love You" which I didn't enjoy much and "A Place called Here" which I did rather enjoy. I definately think that Cecilia Ahern has found her niche in this fairytale style of writing. Elizabeth Egan is uptight in everything she does. She has many burdens such as that of her troublesome sister and her adoptive nephew whom she can't quite seem to show love to, as well as being unable to relate to her father. Along comes "Ivan", who is invisible to everyone except Elizabeths nephew Luke and eventually Elizabeth herself. The story unfolds and so does Elizabeths uptight personality. I really did enjoy this book. In places it was very poetical and descriptive and therefore quite emotive. There was some beautiful images conjured up and any raw emotions described and felt were balanced by uplifting or inspiring moments. To me it was like a fairytale for adults, as it had all the magic and wonder of a fairytale but at the same time, dealt with human emotion and relationships. The only two problems I have with this book, are that was so much of a focus on the main charachter Elizabeth, that some of the other charachters, namely her sister, seemed flat and I felt I still didn't really have all the questions answered I would have wanted. On the other hand, I think if there had been too much focus on other charachters, this would detract from the flow of the story. The other problem was that in the first part of the book, the emotional endings to chapters and the touching moments were actually bringing a tear to my eye! However, I felt as the book went on there were "too" many of these which made it much of a muchness and actually took away some of the impact. I would reccommend this book to those that enjoy a bit of a fairytale. I think its one I would read again and its just a nice sweet story, not for cynics!
