Book quote of the week

Such an Oldie but a goodie, Harry Potter has been one of my favourite books since I was a child. It's one of the best quotes in my opinion, it really makes you think. There's always a positive to every negative.

One Day- David Nicholls

I love a romantic book that makes you believe in love again and this is that 2 people meet in a random situation and they really aren't a likely friendship pairing but they click on a platonic level or at least so they think. Dexter and Emma need there friendship more than they need the others love or so think.
Over the years they become best friends and they rely on each other for everything and in truthfulness they can't live through parts of their lives without consulting the other one first.
In the end they realise they have to be together but sometimes that's just a little too late and the other has moved on, when it finally hits him he goes and fights for her but she knows she loves him already.
Loves young dream don't get to be together for ever as Emma tragically dies and leaves Dexter to cope alone which he cannot do without her.

The book was amazing so well written, it broke my heart and if I'm honest when they turned it into the film I was disappointed as it didn't live up to my expectations.

PS I love you- Cecila Ahern

This is the book I always go back to, It's every girls dream romance in the beginning who doesn't love a guy they can actually argue with.
Basically it's about a couple who met in Ireland what I love about them is neither one is perfect. Holly and Gerry have a love hate relationship with each other, it's what makes them likable.
Gerry gets diagnoised with Cancer early on and Holly nurses him until his unfortunate passing.
She struggles to live life without him so she locks herself away, until her birthday when friends and family rally round to get her out of her funk.
She receives a letter from Gerry who has written to her for all the next major steps in moving on.
After months of letters and a surprise trip, she realises that her friends are moving on without ones getting married the other is pregnant, she just loses hope her person who she thought she would be with forever is gone and they never got a chance to have a future.
Fast forward and the last letter arrives, she must move on and not be afraid of falling in love again.
The story broke my heart as you can feel her pain, you can never imagine how that feels.
100% a must read or in my case I must have read it 50 times, it makes you want to move to Ireland and meet your very own Gerry.

Where Rainbows End- Cecila Ahern




This timeless love story is honestly the reason I got into books. My best friend has brought it for me as she thought as a hopeless romantic I would quickly fall in love with the characters in which I truly did.
I'm gonna set the scene without given to many spoilers away, meet 2 young teens Alex and Rosie they have been best friends since they were young children, they excluded every other person their age that they knew. It was them against the world, but as we all know things always change not every relationship is plain sailing. Fast forward to 18 and Alex's father gets a job abroad and Alex has to move away to America, Rosie applies to hotel school near where they have moved to in America. She gets in and asks Alex to take her to prom. He misses the flight and she sleeps with a random boy at school. Fast forward Rosie is pregnant and unable to follow her dreams, with the father not on the scene she will be raising the baby alone and Alex is thousands of miles away.

Throughout the story there lives just keep missing each other which for the reader is frustrating as you really route for them as a couple and you just want them to realise they have both only loved each other all along.
I'm not going to spoil the ending for you but if you like a good romcom and still believe in true love this is the book for you.
