Faith & Fantasy : The Perfect Storyteller..

PS. I love you..the movie that made millions of women cry around the world, the book that made even more believe in love again..

Thank You for the Memories, The Gift, A Place Called Here, all best sellers, all loved by women and i am sure even men love them and read them in secret...I for one have all her books except for the Book of Tomorrow...i hope i get that for my birthday :)

Cecelia Ahern, young, pretty and one of the most brilliant fiction writers I've come across...By 21, she had completed her degree in Journalism & Masscom and had written her fantastic debut PS. I Love You.

I saw the movie first and thought it was the perfect movie for a couple, the perfect movie for any single woman to have faith.. and then i read the book and was at a complete loss of words, it made you smile, it made you cry, but most of all it made you believe and through Holly & Gerry, you lived your dreams too...

And after that came "When the Rainbow Ends", the most fascinating thing about this book is Rosie & Alex lived out thier lives through letters...you were there readin all the letters sent to and fro...feeling like you were in thier personal space, yet dying to turn the page...it took them a lifetime to find each other, hopefully we wont take that long...

But then again, i think these are the two books which was real so to speak, no fantasy...no making you wonder yeah right, but maybe this could be possible...even though you still wont put the books down without finishing it..

Off the remaining, I'd pick 'Thank You for the memories', where the simple act of blood donation brings them together, people who've never met fall in love...and the little notes...aren't they the most romantic?

But even The Gift, which is the shortest of them is quite nice...but here onwards there is the whimsical element...the element that makes your your eyes and doubt creeps in...now i am saying its not possible just not probable...

The best part about Cecelia Ahern's work i think is how she brilliantly weaves the fantasy elements into real life...read about how busy he is in Gift and i am sure you'll relate to him...Read about how much Bobby's mother misses him in 'A Place Called Here' and you can feel her pain.. You wish you can have your own Ivan like Elizabeth did and lost in 'If you Could See Me Now'..It may be a little bit of whimsi, a little fantasy, but maybe its true and it makes the die hard romantic in you feel nice to think maybe just maybe its true..

It makes you fall in love and want to live life to the fullest. Grab each moment and make it complete. I love her books. it should be made a prescription for all women mending a broken heart or even for a girl's night out. Definitely, will put a smile on your face and make you believe..
