Now, this book gets the BBEA - the Best Book Ever Award! - for now. I read this book in two days and it has 486 pages! I even did not mind waking up in the middle of the night coughing, because I just got up, made some tea and read for an hour before going back to bed.

But what is it about? Two people who are made for each other, don't notice it, stay in touch, see each other get married and have children, know that the other one means a lot to them but don't want to tell them because they are married and have children... Now, that is all it is about, well, and all the things that happen in their lives.

But what's so special about it? The book begins with notes they write each other when they are seven, it continues with mails when they are separated by a great big ocean, with instant messages and letters. Now, having spent a year on the other side of the ocean as well, and having friends living far away, I have written countless letters and e-mails myself. Reading them now, reminds me of a lot of things that I would otherwise have forgotten. So there I can totally follow that way of writing.

One last warning from the cover which I found out to be totally true: Addictively page-turning, Rosie Dunne will keep readers laughing and guessing until the last page. Gifted bestselling author Cecilia Ahern has written a charming and romantic novel that readers everywhere will find impossible to put down.

Cecelia Ahern, born in 1981, is the daughter of Ireland's prime minister Bertie Ahern. (Now, who wins the Google Fight?) Before starting her carreer as an author, she completed her degree in journalism and media communications. She is the author of PS, I love you and If you could see me now.

Available at Amazon in English and German.
