'We All Get Lost Once in a While!'
The next time you lose something, comfort yourself with the idea that it's probably gone to a place called Here! This is a whimsical story with a heroine called Sandy Shortt who has never really found herself; it takes a visit to A Place Called Here to present her with the path to enlightenment and self-discovery.

I can't believe anyone's given this more than 1 star! Boring, poorly-developed, full of plot holes....completely pointless!! The whole "ooh no, I hate it when things go missing!!" aspect of Sandy's character was ridiculously over-egged. Everything was done so clunkily and obviously. No subtlety in the writing at all. The idea of a place where missing things/people go is fairly interesting, and might have made a mildly diverting short story. But to stretch it out into a novel is ridiculous! The characters were so overplayed it became really tiresome. This is the first Cecelia Ahern book I've read and it really hasn't inspired me to read any further. Bilge.

Fantastic story!
I can't believe some of the reviewers only giving this story 2 stars! I thought it was brilliant. This is such a different and unique story - I couldn't put it down. It is great to read a book that doesn't bore me with the same old topics. I recommend this book to those who love a good fairytale twist.
