Customer Reviews

Love, Rosie - not as good as movie but still amazing!

I loved reading this book - even after already having watched the movie a million times there were definitely turns I was not expecting.

Good story but...

I love the story but the author writes this book in a series of letters from one character to another; it is extremely difficult to keep myself interested when I am essentially just reading numerous emails. If this doesn't bother you then its an excellent story! If it does, be warned, its not just a letter here an email there, it is the entire book.

ITS THE SAME

THIS BOOK IS THE SAME AS ROSSIE DUNNE AND LOVE, ROSIE!!! They need to stop publishing this book under different names- it's annoying!

beautiful read!

I bought this book at the Edinburgh Airport and started to read it on the planeride back home. I couldn't put it down. Absolutely fantastic and original read, comprised of letters, emails, IMs, all the ways of communicating without being face-to-face. I don't think I've ever laughed so much while reading a book, or felt so much for two characters and how separated their love is. You watch as Rosie and Alex grow up, and meet new people and have children and become different things, the entire book leading up to an ending you, as the reader can predict, but in a nice way. It's really heart-warming and excellent, although this kind of love is frustrating because you just want them to get together already! :) A very excellent read, especially when you want some entertainment on a very long, very boring planeride.

Great book... but it's "Rosie Dunne".

Just in case you were looking for a new Cecelia Ahern book, please don't make the same mistake I made. I think this is a Europen release of "Rosie Dunne". And I also understand that it's also going by the name "Love, Rosie" ......... but it's still one of my most favorite books ever! I love this author and this book rocks by any name. I give it 10 starz! JMHO //(*_*)\\

Looking for a story that will grab you?

Looking for a book that once started you will not be able to put down until finished? Well... read Rosie Dunne. This book was very good written in instant messages, emails and letters. About a girl by the name of Rosie and her best friend Alex and their lives growing up together and the bumps they hit on the way while growing up. If you are looking for a book that will have you smiling and crying then this is for you!

AHERN DID IT AGAIN!

I just happened to pick up P.S. I love you by accident at the local bookstore....and could not put it down. I long awaited her to publish another......... Rosie Dunne --- you go girl! This was the best book I have read since P.S. I love you! I sure can't wait for another. It is magical and bring old memories out of anyone! HIGHLY RECCOMMENDED
