Book: If you could see me now
Author: Cecelia Ahern
PAGE:1~58

I bought this book about two years ago when I was in Australia. The author was the one who wrote "P.S. I love you". Although neither did read that book nor watch the movie, I assumed this book would be a nice one for me to start on. But it turns out that I fail myself again. I didn't continue reading after I finished chapter one. I really need to do some changes and make things done. The first thing I can do now is reading this book chosen by myself. 

From page 1 to 58, there was a man called Ivan. He was walking along a neighborhood. He met a little boy, Luke, and they became friends. When they were playing at the front yard, a woman ran out from Luke's house. She got on a car and drove away. Ivan asked Luke who the woman was, and Luke said that was his mother,Saoirse. Luke's aunt, Elizabeth, came running after Saoirse and shouting at her. But she already drove away. Luke's mother was pregnant when she was very young. No one knew whom the dad was. The name, Saoirse , means freedom in Irish. Saoirse acted just like the meaning of her name. She could not be control by anyone. She did not even care about her son, Luke. Elizabeth was the one who took care of the whole family. All her life was taking care of Elizabeth and Luke. 

Later, Elizabeth saw Luke playing and she asked what he was talking about. Luke said that he was playing with his new friend, Ivan. Surprisingly, Elizabeth couldn't see Ivan. He was an invisible person! I am not sure how the story will go on, but this is kind of interesting. Elizabeth thought Luke was insane. She didn't believe in what he said. Luke even asked for extra pizza for Ivan. But Elizabeth just didn't want to waste the food just for an imaginary person. Luke insisted to give Ivan the pizza, so Elizabeth did not have choice and placed a piece of pizza on a plate.

In this story, Ivan was actually existing. I don't know why he was invisible. Maybe he was a ghost. However, Elizabeth seemed to hear Ivan. After eating the pizza, Ivan said thank you to Elizabeth. She said, "You are welcome, Luke." to him. I am looking forward to seeing the interaction between these two people. Ivan could see Elizabeth, but she could not see him. It could be very difficult for them if they were going to have a relationship.
