 A grown up fairy tale August 17, 2008

A novel about 'imaginary' friends; as with Ahern's other books, you need to suspend disbelief before tucking in. This is an unusual story, as it explores friendships, loneliness and family relationships but without the over the top saccharine love stories that are the blight of most 'chick-lit'. I loved this novel so much that I'd finished it within a day. Ahern manages to combine fantasy with an emotional story line superbly.

What a lovely book! Those who have disguarded it and wondered what those of us are thinking by loving it have no hearts! An easy read - I read in one sitting, not something I often do - characters are great. A cute version of drop dead fred
 Rubbish August 11, 2008
I cannot in all honesty believe that people find this book "amazing" and "best book I ever read". What on earth have they been reading up to now, if that's the case. Boring, predictable, definitely put-downable. Don't go there. PS I Love You was good, weepy, did it's job. Where Rainbows End was awful. The style of writing, email, etc was very off-putting. When Harry Met Sally all over again. This one has put me off ever buying the author's books again.
My favourite so far August 2, 2008

I was introduced to Cecelia Ahern through my friends and have previously read `A place called here' and `Thanks for the memories', while I enjoyed them both neither stood out for me as particularly touching or memorable.
`If you could see me now' is the story of an adoptive mother (of her sister's child), Elizabeth, and an `imaginary' friend, Ivan. He originally believed he was there to help her son (Luke) but soon realizes it's stressed out Elizabeth who needs his friendship far more.
The writing's not perfect, there were sentences, especially at the beginning, that were unnecessarily long, or even just unnecessarily, however as the story went on I found the writing improved (or I got so wrapped up in the relationship I stopped noticing it) and although I found the character Ivan annoying at first he soon grew on me, and I loved most of them.
Ahern has a way of making the unbelievable perfectly reasonable and I think in `If you could see me now' this is not only what gives the book it's magic but characters I cared about and memorably touching moments.
While I couldn't count it in my favourites books it has driven me to continue reading Cecelia Ahern, a must for fans of her, if new, a good book to start with.
Absolutely Perfect. July 31, 2008

I've just finished this book and was not expecting it to be anything breath-taking or spectacular, just something to get me through the summer. But wow, what a book this is. If anything can make you go back to your childhood days, laugh and cry at the same time and bring that little bit of creativeness out of you that you never realised you had, this is definitely it. The people not enjoying this book are the narrow minded, which is ironic as this is exactly what the book is trying to change. If you have an imagination, and want to let it run wild, go ahead and read If you could see me now.
