Alice suffers with what she thinks of as a curse but some others see as a blessing, not that she tells many people about seeing colours around everything and everyone. When I wrote this first, I was thinking of our personal time, how stressful life can be when we are feeling pulled in so many different directions and need to be so many different kinds of people to all the various people in our lives. There are some familiar holiday tropes mapped out here, but the author weaves a clever and creative story around them, and tops it off with a surprise twist that caught me off guard. This is storytelling at it’s finest and I found it a moving, beautiful read that will stay with me for a long time. Life goes on, until one day, before Christmas, he meets Gabe, a homeless man - the good ghost from the tale - that changes his cosmos completely.Durante toda la lectura he tenido una sensación de tristeza por la historia, frustración con el personaje principal e incluso aversión. On the back of this book it says "An instant holiday classic" so you think you'll be in for a nice and cozy type of read.

La secţie este adus un adolescent, care aruncase un curcan îngheţat prin fereastra tatălui său, aproape rănind-o pe sora lui vitregă, pe motiv că tatăl său anulase cina cu el şi mama sa pentru a sta cu noua lui familie. Personally, I continued to dislike Lou throughout the full book, and yet I found myself completely invested in him, and found I was rooting for him for his family’s sake rather than his. Cecelia Ahern has a way of writing her stories, so the words literally bounce off the page and wrap you in a warm hug. I would have possibly liked the last two chapters to last a little longer but otherwise this was a beautiful telling of a life. In all honesty, I had fallen out of love a little with Cecelia Ahern’s books which was really disappointing as some of her early books are my favourite reads.It was one of those books that I became totally absorbed in, not light hearted as I normally enjoy, but contemplative especially towards the end.
