Love, Rosie

Cecelia Ahearn's Rosie Dunne is the amusing story of Alex and Rosie, best friends who grow up together in Ireland and stay close throughout cross-continental moves, marriages, parenthood, family dramas. and professional triumphs. Friends for close to 50 years, the potential for romance between the pair is always under the surface, yet never seems to find the right time or place to become a reality. Twenty-three year old Ahern, whose debut novel, PS, I Love You, was a modest hit with critics and readers alike, does not deviate much from the witty yet sentimental style she seems to naturally posses. Rosie Dunne is written through a series of notes, letters, IMs, e-mails, and text messages between the two protagonists and their various friends and family members. While this style is engaging at first, readers may eventually long for more substantial dialogue and fewer choppy exchanges. In fact, about halfway into the story, some may even feel the urge to skip ahead to what is almost an inevitable conclusion. However, the addition of entertaining secondary characters (such as Rosie's best friend Ruby and her overweight, yet oddly talented, salsa-dancing son) help keep the momentum going through one-to-many near misses between Rosie and Alex.

作者Cecelia Ahearn相當年輕，不過她的身份相當特別，因為她本來的身份是愛爾蘭總理的女兒，不過對於寫作的熱愛讓她二十多歲就交出了一張漂亮的成績單，處女作《PS,I Love You》一鳴驚人，不僅讓她登上暢銷書榜，該書更搬上大螢幕。
這本《Love,Rosie》是她的第二本小說，故事主角是從小一起大的朋友Alex和Rosie，他們一同在愛爾蘭長大、一同經歷成長的喜怒愛樂、一同面對愛情的掙扎、一同面對婚姻中的挫折、一同享受了工作上的成就，五十年的友誼，他們的關係是否會進一步發展？
這樣的堅定友情是否有機會讓友情昇華成愛情發展？這本小說不同於上一本的悲情，這本內容形式不同其他小說，以一連串的字條、信件、簡訊、email與網上聊天等「訊息」構成，片面的訊息中拼湊出故事的全貌，讓讀者在閱讀的同時也可以感受主角們心境的變化。
