Where Rainbows End by Cecelia Ahern
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I have one and only motive for reading this book and that is Sam Clafin, or that guy who plays Finnick Odair in Catching Fire. He plays Alex in Love, Rosie along with Lily Collins. After I stalked him on IMDB, I found the trailer. And I found that the trailer looked pretty good. So I kept watching it, until I realised something I had to read the book.

It was OK. I liked the story enough to power through it in under a day, and I found the characters and their lives interesting enough. I think I liked Rosie the best, but then again… there was Divorced_1. However, I don’t think the format of the letters, notes and instant messaging worked. I didn’t feel that the instant messaging especially was written like instant messaging. Most of the time the writing felt like a traditional novel’s format minus the description. Also, having watched the trailers a billion times, I expected the book to be funnier than it was. It wasn’t. This is perhaps due to the distancing from the story due to the writing style and the fact it’s an epistolary novel.

While I enjoyed this book to devour in around twenty-four hours, it isn’t memorable.
