That‘ll be my last Cecelia Ahern. I stuck with it because I needed something mindless on audio for my drive home and I kept thinking it would get more interesting. Unfortunately it didn‘t, at least for me.

This should have been so good. Really nice idea, which kept you intrigued for the first half of the book. Then, it's almost as though the author herself couldn't quite decide where to go with it. It turns into a frustrating story where everything turns out smelling of roses. Everyone falls in love with everyone else. Everyone gets what they want, it's all just a bit too perfect. Shame, it's a beautifully presented book, but without the substance.

You had heard of a caterpillar that couldn't turn into a butterfly. And you would like to examine how it would feel to be denied such a beautiful thing. You would like to know how it feels for the caterpillar to watch other caterpillars transform while all the time knowing he would never have that opportunity.

Charming and delightful! I love Cecelia Ahern. Some of her books are a bit wacky, but I really enjoyed this one.

My most recent read was One Hundred Names by Cecelia Ahern. Much gentler than my usual reads. A little slow for me, but beautifully written with superb characterisation.

"Nobody can pretend to know what people want to read or hear or see. People rarely know it themselves; they only know it after the fact. That is what creating something original is all about. Finding the new, not rehashing the old and feeding a market."

"We want them for their emotional journeys, not just so we can hear their policies but so we can hear the reason for their policies. What happened to make them believe in this, what happened to make them feel this way? Yes, we sometimes talk about diets, but not organic this and wholewheat that, but of why and who. We are all about people, about feeling, about emotions."

"‘Some people say that you shouldn‘t operate from a place of fear,‘ Constance went on, ‘but if there is no fear, how is there a challenge? Often that is when I‘ve done my best work, because I have embraced the fear and challenged myself.'"
