I actually got this book from the gas station (yes I can find books ANYWHERE!). Honestly, I'm not a big fan of Cecelia Ahern, although "Where Rainbow Ends" was quite a humorous and entertaining read. Her first book P.S. I Love You, felt a bit amateurish and formulaic... Not to my liking.
Thanks for the Memories is a lovely read though. It is chick-flick in every sense of the word. But I absolutely adore the character of the female lead's father. He is an old, funny, child-like man; very affable quality that just make you wanna befriend him. He's pretty much the saving grace of this book.
The story began with Joyce, who had a miscarriage and needed blood transfusion. Justin, a blood-donating phobic, unknowingly donated his blood to her, while trying to score a date with an attractive doctor. This somehow, mysteriously connected the both of them to each other's world. Joyce began experiencing Justin's memories and feeling what he felt. They finally met at a hair salon when Justin wanted a haircut, and so, inevitably caused Joyce wanting a haircut too. And so, the story unfolds, with Joyce and Justin meeting again and again but never really getting the chance to know one another.
Till Joyce found out that Justin was her blood donor and she began doing things for him and "stalking" him.
This is a story of strange coincidences and fate- a case of serendipity... Read it for a good entertaining afternoon.
