Beautiful!
I have read & immensely enjoyed Ceclia Ahern's previous 2 books (PS, I Love You & Where Rainbows End) & was desperate to get my hand on this one when it was released. And I wasn't disappointed - it was so wonderfully different to some of the mush on the shelves these days and I fell in love with all the characters right away. The storyline could almost be described as a grown-up fairytale which allows you to escape into a a fantasy world where we all have imaginary friends watching over us! I thought the whole book was lovely from start to finish (and I did not want it to finish!) - I would recommend it to anyone!

read this book!
I read the first two books and thought they were good but not all time greats, real beach reads!, thought I may as well read the third and am very glad I did. It was much better, very well written, though did occaisionally jump from first to third party!, and I couldn't put it down. Well worth reading, looking forward to the next one.

Disappointing
I loved 'p.s I love you' and was expecting great things of 'If you could see me now'. The story is dragged out and has little to grip me. I have nearly finished it but have been on the verge of abandoning it several times. There are a few beautiful passages but generally the book is dull and lacks something.
