The Book of Tomorrow by Cecelia Ahern

I read this book last month and decided I needed to blog about it before I forgot what it was about and whether or not I even liked it.

The Book of Tomorrow, yet another book by Cecelia Ahern, is about a very wealthy girl whose dad commits suicide and has to move to the country with her mom to live with her eccentric aunt and uncle. She discovers a journal in which she finds entries dated from the next day. As she learns the events for the following day, she tries to see if she can change the future, and if she can, see if she should.

I think I would have enjoyed the story more if I had read it more quickly. I read the first half over a few weeks, only picking it up sporadically; but the second half I read in about 2-3 days. I kind of felt the story took an odd turn toward the end, straying from the general feel of the book. At any rate, I did enjoy the read and I would recommend this to others. Not my favorite Cecelia Ahern book, but not my least favorite either. As always, she has the cleverest ideas for her stories. Not always the best execution (in my opinion) but always interesting and entertaining.

3 out of 5 stars
