Massive no no.

The word that is perfect for describing this book is: exasperating.

It seems that every page of this book is filled with elements that just drive the reader crazy. The plot might have had potential, but the way it is presented and developed is truly a letdown.

One can't help but feel frustrated while reading it, as if there is a constant obstacle preventing a smooth and enjoyable reading experience.

Perhaps some readers might have a different opinion, but for many, this book falls short of expectations.

It's a pity, really, as it could have been so much better.

OK,

This book was truly a remarkably quick read, and it was so funny, funny, FUNNY! It is definitely not your typical book. Instead, it is like a large and charming scrapbook filled with letters, emails, and instant messages that pass between two best friends, a boy and a girl. Throughout the entire book, you will find yourself alternately laughing out loud, shedding a tear, and even getting a bit angry because of the silly antics and misunderstandings of these two characters. They are so clearly destined to be together, yet they have such a hard time realizing this fact. It's just a great and engaging story overall. However, the only reason it's not a full 5-star rating is because of some of the language choices that the author made. Some of the words and phrases used were not really appropriate or cool, which detracted a little bit from the overall enjoyment of the book. But still, it's a great read that I would highly recommend to others.

This was such a delightfully sweet little read.

Being written entirely in the mode of letters and emails brought a refreshing change. It allowed me to easily dip in and out, which is always convenient for me as a reader. I couldn't help but notice that all the writers of those emails/letters were extremely articulate and must have been proficient speed typists as well!

I first experienced the movie adaptation, which meant I was aware of all the happenings. However, it dragged a bit in the last two-thirds. In my opinion, this could have been around 100 pages shorter.

This is an author I have seldom read, but I must change that as she is a fabulous writer. This particular work was breezy and light. Although not entirely believable in all aspects, that's what fiction is all about. I loved all the characters, especially our quirky Rosie.

In fact, I have just picked up the DVD from my public library and can't wait to watch it again. I also love https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3510471/.

Highly recommended.

What a beautiful book! I am so emotional right now.

Basically, this book was like an absolute roller coaster ride. It was filled with extreme frustration and a severe case of toying with my emotions. However, I am very much pleased with the ending of this book.

The writing style and the way this book was organised, being completely made up of letters, emails, instant messages, etc., was brilliant. I must admit it took a while to get used to, but once I did, it worked so well and made the story so much more interesting. You really get to dig deep into the main character's emotions and feelings this way, and I really enjoyed it.

However, at times it did become annoying because it kind of skipped main events, and you didn't get to find out much about them (which I would have really liked).

Pacing wise, I was hooked and desperately needed to find out what happens with Rosie and Alex!!! If you read this book and you didn't want them to be together, then we must have read a different book because I rooted for these two from the very start!

I really enjoyed getting to know the characters. They were all so well developed and portrayed. On the other hand, at times I did feel like the characters all aged too fast, but I guess that's symbolic of life because time just goes by so fast!

I think this book is leaning towards a definite 4.5 stars. I absolutely loved and devoured it! I am extremely excited to get around to watching the film as I feel like it will work really well!

This is the second time I have read this book, and I enjoyed it just as much as the first time. It is one of my favorite books and still remains so.

It is a love story that I really like. In this story, there are thousands of obstacles that occur before they can finally be together.

The author has done a great job of creating a vivid and engaging world, filled with interesting characters and a captivating plot.

The way the story unfolds is both heartwarming and exciting, keeping me on the edge of my seat until the very end.

Overall, I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good love story or just enjoys reading in general. It is truly a masterpiece that I will continue to cherish for a long time to come.

The movie "Love Rosie" is truly one of my favorite comfort films. The story is filled with heartwarming moments and a touch of nostalgia. The chemistry between Lily and Sam is off the charts, easily a 20 out of 10! It's so palpable that it draws you into their world and makes you root for them throughout. However, I have to be completely honest and say that the book is just fine. It doesn't have the same charm and energy as the movie. In fact, it often drags on and fails to capture the essence of the story as effectively. So, my advice is to skip the book and watch the movie instead. It's one of those rare times when the film is truly superior to the source material. Because sometimes the best things in life were right in front of you the whole time. So If you're waiting for the right time you might be waiting forever.

I will save you sometimes and just be flat out honest… This book is fine… not good, not great, and 100% drags on… WATCH THE MOVIE!!!! This is one of the rare times the films is so superior compared to the book.

I am really not liking this book at all.

The plot is filled with so many missed chances and lack of communication between the characters. It's so frustrating that it makes me want to throw up due to nausea.

I also have a great deal of frustration with the development of the main characters. Their actions and decisions seem so illogical and unappealing that I almost have the urge to kill them off just so that the book can come to an end.

I usually have a great love for chick lit novels like "The Devil Wears Prada" and "Me Before You". However, this particular book really misses the mark.

Not only is the plot too long and dragging, but it also fails to engage me on an emotional level. It's a real disappointment compared to the other chick lit books that I have enjoyed in the past.

I hope that future books in this genre can learn from the mistakes of this one and offer more engaging and satisfying stories.

I had wanted to read this book for a long time because I knew there would be a movie and the protagonists would be Lily Collins & Sam Claflin. But I postponed it for a long time. Finally, today (technically it's 2:00 am so I think it was yesterday...) I started it and well, hours later I finished it and this is how I am now:

I devoured the book because those letters/emails/postcards... were so engaging (even though at the beginning it stressed me out for the same reason) and more than anything because I was dying to know when the hell Rosie & Alex were going to start telling each other the truth and face that love that was so damn obvious.

From the beginning, I intuited that these two were going to make me suffer, and yes, I ended up disappointed and angry because they had to be 50 years old (50 FREAKING YEARS!) to be together (oh Cecelia, at least you could have put a longer epilogue). But now I start to think that this is life, so many unexpected things happen. Because of a decision you make, various events are triggered that can end up making nothing happen as you expected. (Damn Alex, why didn't you tell Rosie everything in person instead of writing her a FREAKING LETTER). I think I'm strangely content and happy because it would have been worse if one of them had continued not knowing anything, without having experienced that silence again... (I need more tissues).

And at the end, when Katie has the courage and bets everything to see how things go with a relationship with Toby (I almost expected the same thing to happen to her as to her mother), it was like a big kick in the stomach. It leaves you a huge message: either you take a risk in search of what could be or you chicken out and waste great years out of fear of losing something, it's as simple as that.

I gave it 5 stars because this story made me feel a lot; it made me laugh several times, made me sigh even more, but at the same time it frustrated me so much, made me so angry, and made me cry like a fool....

I think I need to go to sleep. I don't know what I'm writing anymore and I don't know what I'll do when the movie comes out and all this comes to life.

I'm truly a mess.

My life seems to be in complete disarray at the moment.

I don't know where to start to sort things out.

Every aspect of my life feels like a jumbled up mess.

My work is a disaster, I can't seem to get anything right.

My relationships are also in a turmoil.

I feel like I'm constantly making mistakes and not learning from them.

FML! This is just so frustrating and overwhelming.

I wish there was a magic solution to make everything better.

But for now, I just have to try and pick up the pieces and figure out a way to move forward.

It's going to be a long and difficult process, but I guess I have no choice but to face it.

Ahhhhhh this book was simply adorable!

The ending was truly amazing! At first, I was quite worried that it would be overly predictable. And indeed, as I had expected, much of what occurred was rather foreseeable. However, the way in which it all came together was just so incredibly good! It was such a wonderful novel that delved deep into the themes of life, love, and friendship. It was truly beautiful to witness the progression of Rosie and Alex's lives as time went by.

I have never really been the type to enjoy romance novels. But this one is a huge exception. Rosie and Alex were such outstanding characters. They were both extremely relatable and likable. I really enjoyed how realistic the story was. It showed that life will never be perfect, and that's okay.

Although the book spans over many years and there are points where it seems to get a little slow, yet it all comes together so splendidly that it is worth every single second!

W: This is a warm, witty, and simply wonderful story that delves into the themes of friendship, failed relationships, and that very, very long-lasting feeling known as love.

The original form of the book had such an allure that it made me sink into the story and become completely invested in the heroes from the very first page.

What's truly the most important is that it made me develop a deep connection with them. I found myself laughing with them during the joyous moments, crying with them during the heart-wrenching ones, and constantly hoping that the longed-for happy ending would have occurred a long, long time ago.

I have to add that it also had a profound impact on me, making me cry and feel sad, and even causing me to feel miserable about my own life. But then again, who said that literature is only meant to entertain? It has the power to touch our hearts, make us reflect, and evoke a wide range of emotions within us.

"La vida en 300 páginas" es un libro que me dejó con una sensación compleja. Me gustó mucho debido a su narrativa intrigante y la manera en que presentaba diferentes aspectos de la vida. Sin embargo, por alguna razón, también me deprimió profundamente. Quizás fuera la realidad dura que mostró o la reflexión sobre las cosas que hemos perdido o no logrado en nuestra propia vida. A pesar de la depresión que me causó, creo que este libro tiene mucho que ofrecer. Me hizo pensar en mi propia existencia y en cómo podemos hacer que la vida sea más significativa. Además, la escritura era muy buena y me mantuvo enganchado desde el principio hasta el final. Aunque no fue un libro fácil de leer, creo que merece la pena.
