If you watched or read P.S. I Love You, then you would know that Cecelia Ahern is a romantic person to the bone. She makes you look at your partner and unrealistically wish that he would be like the main character in the story; if you are a man, either you laugh at the hero and call him a wimp or be really afraid that your wife/ girlfriend will leave you for the unrealistic fantasy.
I admit that I do fantasize about men who are romantic and nice and not necessarily perfect. But in Where Rainbows End, where the story sets partially in Dublin, two best friends may be falling in love, who knows? The reader knows, everyone around the main characters know, and viola! The hero and the heroine seems to be skirting around the issue and doing all sorts of wrong things to each other.
Number one: seriously? If I were the heroine I would have really gone bananas by the middle of the story with all the drama around her.
Number two: I won't be sticking around for a man who wasn't there for me, at all. Emails and letters don' count.
But the way the story flows is interesting, letters, emails, instant messaging are a different point of view. It is dead, the writers are writing it. I like how the characters make fun of 'know' and 'no' and how you are able to pick up on spelling mistakes and know that a kid wrote the letter.
Most is forgiven if you are a romantic at heart, if not, better skip this one.
