What a cute book!

Not her best, and certainly not my favorite of hers, but cute nonetheless. It had some really laugh-out-loud parts - the father was a particularly strong and funny character. Like some of her other books, this one also seemed to have a film that inspired it - in this case the movie _Return To Me_. A lot of the plot seemed pretty similar. I think this book's main flaw was that for a romance, the two characters spent less than twenty pages together in the whole 350+ page book!

great book

i'm a huge Cecelia Ahern fan and love reading anything she's written. while Thanks for the Memories is not my favorite, i enjoyed it immensely and would recommend it. Ahern's books are warm, witty, and all around enjoyable to read.

Aherns wit is captivating!

Although I personally prefer fiction set in reality, Miss Aherns captures your interest from the first page through her wit, humor, and vulnerability. The main character, Joyce, has a beautiful, loving relationship with her elderly father that will warm your heart. Her knowledge and understanding of the elderly is admirable. Her adventures are exciting and impulsive. This is a book you'll never want to finish.

whimsical contemporary romance

Joyce Conway lies at the bottom of the stairs after falling. When she next awakens she is at a hospital, having miscarried. Her father is there, but her husband Conor remains away on business. She lost so much blood, she received a blood transfusion. After her release from the hospital, she goes to live with her dad as she and Conor are divorcing. Joyce begins having odd visions, speaks Latin, and knows trivia tidbits re European architectural design and Irish history. None of these oddities were known before her tragic accident. American Justin Hitchcock is a visiting professor at Dublin's Trinity College, where he lectures on European art and architecture. He gave a pint of blood at a nearby hospital and mused afterward that some anonymous person owes him. He is mystified by his constant running into a female he never met and his attraction to this stranger, who muses over how she keeps meeting a male stranger she finds so appealing. This whimsical contemporary romance is a fun tale, but ironically the prime relationships are not between the lead couple; instead the top guns are Joyce with her father and Conor with his family. The cast is strong with the secondary players providing insight into what motivates the lead couple; Joyce feels the pain of her miscarriage and not much re her divorce while Conor seeks to do something meaningful. The blood destiny never comes off the ground as much as the other interactions, yet fans will relish this engaging tale of fate mindful of Cusak-Beckinsale in Serendipity. Harriet Klausner

Thank you!

Every book Cecelia Ahern has written and that I've read (the latest 3 releases) have all been heart warming, unique, funny, and romantic stories. Thanks for the Memories met my expectatations and didnt disappoint me. It kept up with her tradition of her previously written books and I cant wait to see what her next book will be like!
