Thanks for the Memories

Thanks for the Memories by Cecelia Ahern

I admit it: I often judge books by their covers. This book I read solely on the recommendation of the brilliantly designed cover, but was not disappointed. Cecelia Ahern's latest book is the story of a woman who gets a blood transfusion after an accident only to suddenly find herself suddenly endowed with another person's memories and knowledge. This tale is told back and forth between the donor and recipient, and it isn't long before you start rooting for them to get together. Although the ending is mostly predictable from the first chapter, the read is still delightful. I especially enjoyed the interactions between fathers and daughters in this novel- it was laugh-out-loud-funny at times.

Cecelia Ahern is also the author of the book P.S. I Love You, which is also a movie starring Gerard Butler and Hilary Swank.
