If You Could See Me Now

Cecelia Ahern writes lighthearted, feel-good novels full of just a little bit of magic. If You Could See Me Now is no different. Ahern lives in Ireland, and this novel, as her previous novels, is set in the charming Irish countryside. P.S. I Love You (one of her earlier novels) was made into a movie starring Hilary Swank, and If You Could See Me Now is soon to be a movie as well.

It tells the story of six year old Luke and his Aunt Elizabeth who has adopted him, although she has never wanted children and prefers a life of strict order and control. Luke's mother is an alchoholic, like Elizabeth's mother before her, and Elizabeth has always worked hard to be the responsible one. But along the way she forgot how to have fun. Enter invisible friend Ivan, and the magic begins......

If you're in the mood for a little playful, light reading with happy endings for all, Ahern's novels are sure to please.
