I want to share the latest book which I have just finished yesterday with you guys.
Book: Thanks For The Memories by Cecelia Ahern
My rating: *** (means I liked it but not crazy about it)
I would recommend this book: To anyone who likes chick-lit novels, humorous dialogues
Having read Where Rainbows End I was in bit of a quandary about Thanks For the Memories. I mean I enjoy Cecelia Ahern’s writing, her stories are hilarious but I always find myself want to read more about the romance part which in this case Joyce and Justin’s relationship part instead of reading Joyce and her father’s or Conor’s etc.
Anyway, the first thing that pulled me to this book was absolutely its cover design, it was so cute that I had to own it! And the summary at the back of the book was at first confusing to me but seemed promising.
When I started reading the story the plot didn’t convince me at all, I wanted to find some logic in all the goings on and I was on the verge of losing interest until I decided to go along with the story. I guess I prefer more realistic romance stories. One more thing, I didn’t feel any chemistry between Joyce and Justin, one questions “Would they still want to pursue each other if this whole blood transfusion thing didn’t happen?”
Nevertheless I’m really curious about the whole blood transfusion thing, I mean what really happens when someone got someone else’s blood?
I didn’t love the book rather liked it. It was fun and has a happy ending. Despite my negative comments I would still want to check this book out. If you want a quick read and have fun then it’s the book for you.
