Synopsis
This book is from the number 1 bestselling author of "PS, I Love You" and "Where Rainbows End" comes a love story with heart - and just a little bit of magic! Everything in Elizabeth Egan's life has its place, from the espresso cups in her gleaming kitchen to the swatches and paint pots of her interior design business. Order and precision keep life under control - and Elizabeth's heart from the pain and hurt she has suffered in the past. The only cloud on the horizon is her sister Saoirse, a red-haired whirlwind always leaving behind pieces, which Elizabeth struggles to pick up - including her six-year-old son Luke. Being a reluctant mother while trying to keep her business on track is a full-time job, one which leaves little room for error - or fun. Until, one day, a stranger unexpectedly comes into their lives. Ivan is carefree, spontaneous and always looking for adventure - everything that Elizabeth is not. In no time at all, he has crept under her skin and started to change her life in ways she could never have . She knows barely anything about Ivan - who he is and whether he is everything he seems. And, if there is a future for their blossoming relationship!

Full of Cecelia Ahern's trademark warmth and poignancy, "If You Could See Me Now" is a love story with heart - and just a little bit of magic!

A Nice Easy Read
I borrowed this book from my sister who loves to read Cecelia Ahern.
This is a charming little read about imaginary friends. How Ivan comes to befriend Luke a 6 year old who he believes needs his help, but suddenly finds out Luke's aunt Elizabeth can also see him. This was a cute read, really sweet and lovely. It had me laughing out aloud at times, especially in the beginning of the book before Elizabeth can see him, as Luke demands another plate is set for Ivan. But it also had me in tears near the end of the book.

Everything flowed well in this book, it was an easy chick lit read. Beautifully written.
Although I thoroughly enjoyed this book, 'Where Rainbows End' still remains my favourite of Ahern's novels.

A grown up fairy tale
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.
