Sometimes you have to look at life in a whole new way...

From the bestselling author of PS, I Love You comes a delightfully enchanting novel about what happens when two people who are meant to be together just can't seem to get it right.

Rosie and Alex are destined for one another, and everyone seems to know it but them. Best friends since childhood, their relationship gets closer by the day, until Alex gets the news that his family is leaving Dublin and moving to Boston. At 17, Rosie and Alex have just started to see each other in a more romantic light. Devastated, the two make plans for Rosie to apply to colleges in the U.S.

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.

Her dreams for college, Alex, and a glamorous career dashed, Rosie stays in Dublin to become a single mother, while Alex pursues a medical career and a new love in Boston. But destiny is a funny thing, and in this novel, structured as a series of clever e-mails, letters, notes, and a trail of missed opportunities, Alex and Rosie find out that fate isn't done with them yet.

From the gifted author of PS, I Love You comes this charming, romantic, addictively page-turning novel that will keep readers laughing and guessing until the very last page.

I messaged Laura about this :)

This book looks good, but I can't get to it till later in the month.

@Berit that's okay. I will still discuss it with you, when you already get it.

I'm just in chapter 9 and much has already happened and there like hundred of pages left?!?!

(view spoiler)[ I can't be the best woman to the guy I love! I swear I just can't (hide spoiler)]

Have you read this yet?

I think we cross posted, so you already answered my question :-) I was just reading a blurb about this book, and then I sought here as a buddy read, I was really thinking it looked very good. I will try to get to it as soon as possible!

@Berit cool! hope you get it soon :)

Chapter 14 (view spoiler)[ I love Katie, I think she's really like her mom, and she's funny (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 36 (view spoiler)[ This is now just long and draggy! Why can't they be together already! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 38 HEY IT'S OUR COUNTRY!

Ending: I think the movie will be better :3

I'm at chapter 19 and I'm not really into it so far..

Ok I'll put it down I'm sorry. I'll try again another time

I feel you. It's like there won't be any difference whether you finished it or not because you already know the ending. It's just long and draggy

I am on chapter 4

I read to chapter 8 yesterday and will read a little more. I love the style of writing, I feel it makes it an easier read. (view spoiler)[ sad to see that Rosie is pregnant just from one night... I'm glad that her and her sister do still get along and that her sister cares so much about her. I can't believe Rosie and Alex got so many suspensions though (hide spoiler)]

Just finished my reading for today, I got to chapter 13 and I love Ruby!! She's hilarious (view spoiler)[ happy to see that rosie has found someone new and I feel like Alex and Sally will end up getting a divorce soon. I hope Rosie goes into the hotel business because I feel she will become a major business woman that way. (hide spoiler)]

end of chapter 17 (view spoiler)[ I am loving this book. The format makes it really easy to follow and quick to get through. I am up to the part where Rosie just got married to Greg and Alex is telling her how he was jealous. I am soooo pining for them to hurry up and be together, I really hope that's what happens. I really don't like Sally and it seems like she is so jealous of Rosie. I love Rosie's upfront attitude. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 32 (view spoiler)[ I can't believe Greg!! Well I can believe it, but I feel so sorry for Rosie that he was having an affair. Im happy that it happened so it clears the path for Alex.
I can't believe Brian is trying to come back into Katie's life now after 13 years. (hide spoiler)]

Apologies for the late start.

Chapter 10: (view spoiler)[ At first I wasn't sure how I felt about the format of this book seen as it is told through letters but it has started to grow on me. I feel that a lot of time has passed but there is still so much left of the book. I assume that Rosie and Alex will probably end up together by the end of the book. (hide spoiler)]

That's alright :)

Chapter 42 (view spoiler)[ I cant believe Bethany didn't send Rosie the invitation. well I can believe it, but its crazy how they both were angry at each other over something that wasn't what they thought (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 10: [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I am listening to it via audiobook so the format has been good as they have changed voices for each of the characters, so it has really added to the storyline. I could see how it would be strange to start if you were reading it. It does make it a fast paced book though. (hide spoiler)]

Finished! I loved it!!

Finished part 2: (view spoiler)[ I am now really enjoying the format of this book. The format makes the pacing really quick and I am getting through this book quite quickly. I really like the characters and I want Rosie and Alex to hurry up and get together as it is clear that they should be together. (hide spoiler)]

Finished part 3: (view spoiler)[ So much happened in this section. I feel bad for Rosie what with Greg cheating on her and Brian deciding that he wants to be part of Katie's live. Also losing her job at the hotel and having to work at the school must be terrible. To make matters worse Alex is back with Bethany. I wish that they would hurry up and admit that they have feelings for one another. (hide spoiler)]

Finished: (view spoiler)[ I ending up really enjoying this book. At first, I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy it but I soon got used to the writing style. I loved the characters and I loved seeing them grow up through this book. I'm glad that Alex and Rosie finally admitted their feelings for one another. I also liked that Katie and Toby's story kind of mirrored Alex and Rosie's. (hide spoiler)]
