Book: If you could see me now

Author: Cecelia Ahern

PAGE:224-308

The stories I have read through this two weeks had a breakthrough- they finally kissed. The love story between a woman and an invisible man seemed to begin. Reading this book until now gives me a very complex feeling. Because of the long length of the story, the author gives us many detailed description of their emotion. The story describes how Elizabeth has grown up, her difficulty of having a relationship and what special role which Ivan played in her life. And the way the author describes about starting to love a person was so true and real, that made me feel touched. 

The story that I read every week, Elizabeth's younger sister, Saoirse always made many troubles that needed Elizabeth to deal with. She was already a grown woman who had a child, but she always needed her sister to look after her. She is one reason that Elizabeth could not have a normal relationship with her partner. Every time she has to deal with the problem and could not run away with it. This made Elizabeth's ex-boyfriend left her. I was  sad when I know that her boyfriend left her because she felt she had a responsibility for her family. It was already a hard time for her, and her boyfriend even could not by her side.

What Ivan did in his job was to be a friend with kids and help them. He knew how difficult Elizabeth had been through, so he helped her being like a kid again. They were dancing with the dandelion flying in the air so happily. He seemed to be the reason that kept Elizabeth smiling. Seeing them finally kissed makes me very happy. She finally met someone that suit her and understood her.

Ivan's job was taking care of Elizabeth's nephew, Luke. But recently, he only focused on Elizabeth and did not do his job. Falling in love is much easier; Getting along with someone is not that easy. Now they both are in love with each other. The challenge is coming to them soon. I really do hope everything will go well with them. Lastly, I would like to share a beautiful sentence in this book: Well, today I gave Baile na gcroithe a big wake-up call, kissed a very beautiful woman and then spent the rest of the day being unable to do anything but think of her.
