Love, Rosie (Where Rainbows End)

Product Information

Again, Rosie, you're just not stretching far enough. I'm right here. Always have been, always will be.

I've never ever been so frustrated in my life. I hated this book so much it has become one of my favourites.

She gets into Boston University, Alex gets into Harvard, and everything is falling into place, when on the eve of her departure, Rosie gets news that will change their lives forever: She’s pregnant by a boy she’d gone out with while on the rebound from Alex. 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. haven’t heard in years. We used to be best friends. I wonder what she’s doingnow; I haven’t seen or thought of her in years!” You will sound like my mum Cecelia Ahern's novels generally have really bad cheesy rom-com looking covers. Ones that I normally skim over, because they don't look like they'll appeal to me. Novels about a wife who finds out that her husband is having an affair and she has to move away to re-find herself. Yeah...not my most favourite type of novel, so I was pleasantly surprised when I read Love, Rosie. I've heard of Cecelia before with her book, ' PS, I love you' which I actually saw the movie before I read the book.

Por quéeee carajos no se dijeron las cosas!!!! se pudieron haber ahorrado tantos cosas innesesarias, neta quería ahorcarlos a los dos, por no ser DIRECTOS y CLAROS en sus sentimientos TODO POR EL JODIDO MIEDO!! I love that quote - I really do. But seriously, how many years of mistakes did it take them to even realize they were perfect together???Love, Rosie focuses on the lives of Rosie and Alex, best friends since childhood and torn tragically apart as teenagers when Alex's father gets a new job on the other side of the globe. Their friendship is tested by time and circumstance, and situations become even more difficult when love starts to tangle things up. It seems that denial and impossibility are overwhelming, but Rosie and Alex are faced with the decision of giving up everything for love, or living in silence for the rest of their separate lives. 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: Oh god. I really love Alex. I want a best friend like him. I want to have that person who wouldn't give up on me, someone who would always be there even in my ugliest day.

I kept hoping something interesting would happen while reading the second half but when I finished it, I realised I'd wasted my time and could have simply skipped to the last few chapters for a more gratifying tale.

Le puse 5 estrellas porque me hizo sentir mucho esta historia; me hizo reír varias veces, me hizo suspirar aún más, pero a su vez me desesperó tanto, me hizo enojar demasiadoooo y me hizo llorar como mensa.... 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.

I've been thinking about this book ever since I read Me Before You (I blame Sam Claflin) and I think I've finally settled on 4 stars. This was such a sad, but a sweet love story. This book was phenomenally written with its unique format, although for me, it is rather painful, or even tragic. Knowing the fact that these two should have ended up together since their teenage years, yet there were obstacles on their way that hindered them from being together. The story is realistic. It reveals how life is not always as sweet as we want it to be, how it could also get messy. That there are things that may not always go as planned, but what is destined for us will always happen, regardless of how long it takes. This is a classic example of having the love of your life right in front of you, but being too blind, you are unable to reach out and take it. Rosie and Alex lived this experience and let me tell you that it truly hurt knowing they lost a lot of years not giving in to their instincts and feelings. I’ll get straight to the point because if I don’t say what I have to say now, I fear it will never be said. And I need to say it.

I really enjoyed getting to really know the characters and they were all so well developed and portrayed. On the other hand, at times I did feel like the characters all aged too fast but I guess that's symbolic to life because times just goes by so fast! She gets into Boston University, Alex gets into Harvard, and everything is falling into place, when on the eve of her departure, Rosie gets news that will change their lives forever: She's pregnant by a boy she'd gone out with while on the rebound from Alex. I am disappointed by Love, Rosie because it could've been SO MUCH better if it wasn't so slow and draggy. At the end I didn't like Alex as much as I did when it started, by the end he was almost like a stranger. Also the book was quite depressing at times which could've been more meaningful but I found myself not connecting to it since the events that made the novel sad were given to me second hand in letters & DMs.
