Description
I HAVE TO write this book review but it's gonna be so hard! I have billions of notes on my e-reader I think I'll end up not writing it at all. OH MY GOD, THIS IS MUCH MORE FRUSTRATING THAN THE WHOLE BOOK WAS.] She and her books have won numerous awards, including the Irish Book Award for Popular Fiction for The Year I Met You. Sally Gruber: Sally meets Alex in Boston and the pair fall in love and get married and have a son together called Josh. Soon their relationship begins having problems. Bethany Williams: Alex's second wife. She was his first girlfriend in high school, but were reunited years later. They have a son named Theo. Rosie never liked her.
This book was...okay. It wasn't bad, it did make me laugh and giggle a bunch which saved this book for me! Although, there was a major downfall for me: I will save you sometimes and just be flat out honest… This book is fine… not good, not great, and 100% drags on… WATCH THE MOVIE!!!! This is one of the rare times the films is so superior compared to the book.Rosie - Rosie is the main protagonist of the story. She is a sassy (Oh man - the sass is so strong) and a strong-willed young mother who finds that her life goes more like one of those windy and vomit-inducing roller coasters than those basic, 'You go up, you go down, then you arrive at the ending slightly scared, exhilarated, and wishing to do it all again'. There were plenty of times where I just wish that something went well for her, for once, but her life was one of realistic disappointments and glimmers of hope. She is such a beautiful character; one who is thinking of others even though inside all she wants to do is for once, be selfish and do something for herself. Her love and care for Katie reminded me of my mum's towards me. And I oddly resonated with her when she was 18-19 and not knowing what to do with her life, albeit I don't have a baby at 18 and she did. That uncertainty, the fear of 'I don't know what I'm doing and now I realise that no one else does either', is crippling. Watching her jump from job to job also related to me at this time in my life, and it was surprisingly insightful for a rom-com genred book. She was a fleshed out character that came to life during these tragedies and hardships that she dealt with, and the more things that happened to her the more I'd tear up with her. She is one of my favourite female protagonists :) Ruby: Ruby is best friends with Rosie after they meet working in an office for a stationery company. Ruby is always on hand to offer Rosie advice when she is unsure of her feelings in life and love. Rosie Dunne: One of the main characters who lives in Dublin with her daughter Katie and has always dreamed of working in a hotel. The book follows her relationship with best friend Alex as distance and circumstances are forever testing their friendship. Rosie begins to question whether she was always meant to be more than friends with Alex and these feelings soon begin to take effect on their friendship.
Alex's father wants him to go to Harvard to study Medicine and he convinces Rosie to take the hotel management course at Boston University. Rosie gets a call from Boston University and runs to tell Alex. Alex and Bethany were making love and her loud moaning makes Rosie nauseous and she ends up puking. Rosie goes to a local chemist to find out and discovers that she is pregnant despite taking the pill. Even through that little mishap, Alex and Rosie managed to remain friends. They supported each other through marriages as well as divorces and always ignored that niggling little voice telling them they should maybe be more than just best buddies. But how long can you ignore a voice that is sooooo persistent? Y en el final cuando Katie se arma de valor y apuesta todo para ver como le va con una relación con Toby (casi esperaba que le sucediera lo mismo que a su madre .-.)fue como una gran patada en el estomago, te deja un tremendo mensaje; o te arriesgas en busca de lo que podrá ser o te acobardas y desperdicias grandes años por miedo a perder algo, es tan simple como eso.
