How many times you have read something which engrosses you so much that you carry it everywhere, at dining table, while watching tv, you just don’t feel like leaving it. Cecelia Ahern has done it again; her second novel is far more engrossing than her first (P.S. I love you) and it will take you to a magical land where she leaves everything to your imagination. I read the book under the title of Where Rainbows End and I completed it in two days straight, doing night outs because I couldn’t sleep without knowing what was going to happen next. So I will just give a gist and not reveal the plot as that is what will make you fall in love with the book.
The book has nothing jazzy in it, no drama, no steamy narrations, villains or anything. It is a simple story about two people namely Rosie and Alex, who are best friends since the age of five. They keep in touch with each other through letters/e-mails/notes and the whole book is written in the form of mail exchanges which leaves everything else to your imagination. They miss each other every day and write to each other and their friends frequently. Alex and Rosie love each other but neither of them confesses anything because best friends are not supposed to get romantically involved with each other, they get into relationships and marry wrong partners and end up getting unhappy and divorced, but a series of things keep happening and they could never confess their love to each other.
What happens in the end is left to your imagination till you read the book.
I may not have cried as much as I cried in P.S. I love you but this book is an amazing piece of work with the story so true that you can almost relate to it. The best school buds with whom you lost contact, the one strict teacher you hated most, the family which is your biggest support, the crushes you had and the fear that grappled you anytime you tried to confess your love. The book shows that true love and inner strength conquers all, never to lose hope and if there are even a few good people in your life then it becomes liveable and you can realise your dreams anytime.
This is not a prototype romantic novel. So, anyone can read it and you will be so much engrossed in it that you will finish it in a few days.
Happy Reading :)
