I had an hour yesterday to go to Gateway and back to ADMU to look for books. I managed to find only If You Could See Me Now from the books I wanted to buy. Not that I had money for everything, mind, but Cecelia Ahern isn’t exactly at the top of my list. There were a few other books I’d rather buy. Heh. But I ended up buying this anyway, even if I wanted to buy my own copy of Flowers in the Attic as well. Only it was pricier. Woe.

This book was a very nice read. It wasn’t that exceptional, but it mixed happiness, a bit of fantasy, some sadness, and a lot of hope in If You Could See Me Now. It made me wish that “imaginary people” really did exist — and for a few seconds think that probably the actually do. It’s not as good as the other books I’ve read, but it was lovely enough. Ivan was a fun character and I was more interested in his conflicts than in Elizabeth’s. Even if he seemed as old as she is (visually), he was just like a simple-minded child who was faced with the hard facts of reality in the end.
