Synopsis:
Lose yourself in the magical new novel from Cecelia Ahern - the No.1 bestselling author of PS, I Love You How can you know someone you've never met? Joyce Conway remembers things she shouldn't.

When she leaves hospital after a terrible accident, with her life and her marriage in pieces, Joyce moves back in with her elderly father. All the while, a strong sense of deja vu is overwhelming her and she can't figure out why! Justin Hitchcock is divorced, lonely and restless. He arrives in Dublin to give a lecture on art and meets attractive doctor Sarah, who persuades him to donate blood. It's the first thing to come straight from his heart in a long time. When Justin receives a basket of muffins with a note simply saying thank you,he is sure someone is playing a trick on him. But then a series of gifts begin to arrive. Intrigued and disturbed, Justin is determined to find out who is sending them. What he discovers will change his life forever.
My thoughts:
This is Cecelia's 5th book. Yep after "p.s. i love you" this is another title that is worth reading. This story could be categorised as half magical i think. The blood donated actually contained the memories and knowledge of the doner. When Justin donates his blood, his memories and knowledge actually goes with it. When Joyce receives the blood, she got up wwith different skills and knowledge, worst, memories. She can speak in different language, knows arts, history, etc. Magiacal isn't it? Amusing story. They seem to be able to recognise each other when they accidentally bump into each another in fornt of a saloon. Fascinating story too. Unlike her past books, this one actually is easy to understand like p.s. i love you. If you could see me now and A place called here is a bit complicated. Imagination needs to run wild. Is more like imaginating and fantasising on a certain place or person. Where rainbow ends give me an impression of reading a chat box from the internet. I read the synopsis and flipped a few pages of where rainbow ends but i did not buy it. Maybe i should try reading it.

Intrigued by him and on discovering that he could also be very useful to have around, Lou gets Gabe a job in the post room. But soon Lou begins to regret helping Gabe. His very presence unsettles Lou and how does Gabe appear to be in two places at the same time? As Christmas draws closer, Lou starts to understand the value of time. He sees what is truly important in life yet at the same time he learns the harshest lesson of all. This is a story about people who not unlike parcels, hide secrets.They cover themselves in layers until the right person unwraps them and discovers what's inside.Sometimes you have to be unravelled in order to find out who you really are. For Lou Suffern, that took time.
