Hay pocos libros 5 estrellas en mi lista de leídos de este año, pero dejar a este afuera sería un crimen porque es una historia inolvidable. Rosie y Alex son personajes que no voy a olvidar en mi vida y su historia la voya llevar conmigo siempre porque es única en su esencia tanto como en su narración. Voy a dividir esta reseña en varias partes, porque hay DEMASIADO que decir.

Love, Rosie focuses on the lives of Rosie and Alex, best friends since childhood and torn tragically apart as teenagers when Alex's father gets a new job on the other side of the globe. Their friendship is tested by time and circumstance, and situations become even more difficult when love starts to tangle things up. It seems that denial and impossibility are overwhelming, but Rosie and Alex are faced with the decision of giving up everything for love, or living in silence for the rest of their separate lives. I am a quiet, introverted young lady who loves to hide her face in a book, and indulge in sharp intakes of breath from a new book. Currently Reading: The movie on the other hand was how the book should've been written, slowly paced enough so you could fall for the characters but not so slow that you lost interest. This is definitely a case where I like the movie better than the book. This article needs additional citations for verification.

He looks so damn perfect for Alex's role I can't wait to watch the movie *SWOOOOOON* A film adaptation of the book was released in October 2014. It was directed by Christian Ditter, and stars Lily Collins as Rosie Dunne and Sam Claflin as Alex Stewart. Desde hace tiempo que quería leer este libro porque supe que habría película y que los protagonistas serían Lily Collins & Sam Claflin pero lo pospuse mucho tiempo, en fin, hoy (técnicamente son las 2:00 am así que creo fue ayer...) lo empecé y bueno, horas después lo acabé y así estoy ahora mismo:

I loved Alex. He was such a good friend to Rosie. He has always been there for her. But I do have to say he was a coward. He has feelings for her, but didn't want to act up on it. Both of them were cowards actually, but still, he's the guy!!!! What the hell Alex? What the freakin hell? You could have save all Rosie all those tears and pain and rejection. But I guess I can go by that since I unexpectedly enjoyed the exchange letters! It was really fun, actually, even though I may have cried a little at the beginning (I know, SO NOT ME). I was just sad when Alex had to m Por quéeee carajos no se dijeron las cosas!!!! se pudieron haber ahorrado tantos cosas innesesarias, neta quería ahorcarlos a los dos, por no ser DIRECTOS y CLAROS en sus sentimientos TODO POR EL JODIDO MIEDO!!I've been thinking about this book ever since I read Me Before You (I blame Sam Claflin) and I think I've finally settled on 4 stars. Like Rosie, Alex really did mature as well. But there was one thing that didn't change about the young and the old Alex.. Ahaha. How he spells his "know". Despite his age, he still spells it as "no". He's a sample. Cover: I've seen two of the covers - The move cover (Left) and the book covers, even the original title of 'Love, Rosie' which was 'Where Rainbows End'. A large majority of the time, I opt for the original book covers because the movie covers either ruin it or give faces to characters which I haven't met yet. I like to imagine these characters for myself, and what they might look like based on small descriptions here and there - it allows the world to expand all within my own head without having someone else force this image there. But, this time was an exception. I absolutely adore the movie cover for Love, Rosie. It reminds me a lot of the movie, ' Like Crazy' where it's a romantic setting just between the two main characters. That lens flare. That 'look-at-the-other-when-they-aren't-looking'. The cute little gestures (Like looking at a camera together). It was so cute, and the original books covers couldn't rival it at all.

The worst thing about Love, Rosie was the way that Alex treated women all the way through this book. There was never really a lot of love between them and I always thought that they were seen as being disposable or to fit a purpose in his life. I just didn’t think that he was all that and I definitely wouldn’t be interested in him if I had known everything he had put his families through.Life is funny isn’t it? Just when you think you’ve got it all figured out, just when you finally begin to plan something, get excited about something, and feel like you know what direction you’re heading in, the paths change, the signs change, the wind blows the other way, north is suddenly south, and east is west, and you’re lost. It is so easy to lose your way, to lose direction. And that’s with following all the signposts” Katie - Something you didn't see in the movies with Katie is that she grows up to be older than 20+. She has her own life, wants to be a DJ and so she travels to be with her biological father, Brian, and has a best friend named Toby which turns into her lover as they grow older (Like...around 35 or something like that, I forget) In the movie Katie is just used as a plot for why it takes so long for Rosie and Alex to get together, but in the books Katie is her own person, a character worth loving and worrying over. I'm saddened by it, but again, cuts and adjustments had to be made for the film. First of all, if you’ve watched the movie, never trust it! You gotta read the book! Like it’s a must!

I, also surprisingly, found the ending of the MOVIE to be more fulfilling than the book's ending. While in the book they are both 50, Rosie's at her hotel and Alex is now divorced and coming to FINALLY admit his love for her, it ends with just Rosie hearing a familiar voice. That's it. 50 years of following their story (It honestly felt like I had 50 years taken from me) and it doesn't end with a, "I've always loved you. Spend the rest of your life with me!" It ends with Rosie just hearing Alex's voice and telling us that it was one that she has known for all her life.Rosie applied to Boston University and got accepted, while Alex got into Harvard. But life had other plans for them, Rosie got pregnant. She slept with a guy that night Alex didn't arrive to escort her to a gala. She decided not to move to the US and pursue her studies there. Rosie stayed in Dublin. She struggled making ends meet. She struggled raising her daugher while working on jobs that would feed them both. Although she had the support of her parents, it still had been hard for Rosie.
