Love, Rosie

Love, Rosie by Cecelia Ahern is thoroughly enjoyable. The whole novel is an exchange of emails, instant messaging, greeting cards, and letters between Rosie and Alex, her childhood best friend, and all the people that matter in her life—family, close friends, and even ‘evil’ bosses.

Alex (Prince Moonbeam) and Rosie (Princess Buttercup) are best friends who grow up together in Ireland. Even though they were apart from each other due to cross-continental moves, marriages, parenthood, work, and family challenges, they stay close throughout. Romance is always under the surface, but timing and circumstances always seem to work against them. They stayed friends for close to 50 years before fate decided to work in their favor.

There are witty dialogues throughout. I drew a few learning points from this novel too. I wouldn’t say I loved it, but it’s definitely a good read. I also read PS: I Love You and cried buckets for that one.
