They discuss everything like best friends, from their first crush to their married lives and children. Love, Rosie is written as if you are flicking through letters, text's, email's from two dear friends that grow up together. As a reader coming from Paranormal into the 'Real World' of Fiction, this was an excellent book to pick. If you are after a different type of love story fiction this is the pick.

However, I do warn you that while it does come highly recommended, you should prepare yourself for frustration and tears – while it does have its high points I, at least, found this story to be quite emotionally taxing. I highly recommend this book and look forward to seeing how well 'Love, Rosie' has been translated into film (I refused to allow myself to watch it while it was in cinemas as I had not yet read the book). I just – that was certainly the best part for me. I loved being a part of the characters’ lives, and I became quite attached to them all (aside from the notable morons who deserve a hi five… in the face… with a brick). Patterns become evident and I really enjoyed the somewhat cyclical nature of this novel. Spanning over approximately 50 years, we are able to really get to know and connect with a large cast of characters from what is essentially three different generations.

In fact, because of its unique format, I believe that it may be easier for someone who doesn’t read that often to pick up and immerse themselves in the story.įilled with angst and touching on issues such as teenage pregnancy, growing up, friendship, adulthood, love, marriage, relationships, parenthood, childhood, divorce, dreams and simply life in general, 'Love, Rosie' is so real and touching and unique. At first I was slightly wary of this fact, but it had absolutely no impact of the quality or fluidity of the novel. Make no mistake about it, 'Love, Rosie' is way more emotionally taxing than any Nicholas Sparks book.įor those of you who are unaware, this story is written entirely through correspondence – be it emails, instant messages, letters, cards, texts, you name it.
