[I HAVE TO write this book review but it's gonna be so hard! I have billions of notes on my e-reader I think I'll end up not writing it at all. OH MY GOD, THIS IS MUCH MORE FRUSTRATING THAN THE WHOLE BOOK WAS.]

I love that quote - I really do. But seriously, how many years of mistakes did it take them to even realize they were perfect together???
F I F T Y .
THAT'S HOW MANY!
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 move to Boston missing the debs and the chance of rescuing his best friend from the "worst" night of her life (in hindsight it wasn't that bad).
What I really loved about this book was the kids. Katie, Toby and Josh. Their letters/postcards/whatever were so funny and sweet, all their grammatical errors made me laugh my lungs out!
Katie and Toby were the spitting images of Rosie and Alex... their unconditional love knew no bounds and nothing would tore them apart.
Luckily, Katie and Toby didn't spend ALL THEIR LIFE making mistakes in choosing their partners but found their silence, their perfect moment of quietness, in each other.
On the other hand Rosie and Alex DROVE ME CRAZY. I mean, seriously? ALL THOSE F****** YEARS?
It's better late than never, I suppose.
P.S. Thinking about Sam Claflin helped a lot. He looks so damn perfect for Alex's role I can't wait to watch the movie *SWOOOOOON*
P.P.S. I forgot to mention the setting. GOD I LOVE IRELAND! I've been to Dublin, Galway and Kilkenny and every time someone named those beautiful cities my heart just filled with pleasure! *-*

"Mr. Simpson: I think you two would find it interesting sometimes if you listen to me every now and again. You can really learn some useful tips like how to keep an instant message private so everyone else on the other computers can't see.
Alex: Are you telling me other people in the class can read this?
Mr. Simpson: Yes I am.
Rosie: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
HAHAHAHA"

We are very happy and very much in love.
WHATABITCH"

"Ruby: Anyway, don't rise to her, just ignore it.
Rosie: Oh don't worry, I won't respond.
[...]To Sally,
Thank you for your letter. I'm glad you liked my dress, but if I were you I would have worn a pretty dress like my mum's for my wedding day. Everyone said that it matched Alex's tuxedo really well. They made a nice couple, don't you think?
Using a little girl to mark their territory AHAHAHA"

"Mum said he's there because of his snoring. I don't believe her because Toby and I put a tape recorder in the room and he doesn't snore. He sleep talks though! He said, "Don't send the horses to the rainbow!" It's true, we have it on tape.
This kid is just great!
Oh, and I hate Greg :)"

"Oh the beautiful Ricardo, Ruby!! (...) The sound of that sexy Italian accent...
Ok, I'm gonna pretend for the umpteenth time that people don't really know the difference between people who speak Spanish and people who speak Italian. I mean, he's a salsa instructor! And his name is Ricardo!"

"That means I'm gonna have a brother or sister. I think I'm the only person around here who thinks it's cool.
She is four months gone they say. Gone where, I don't know. I only saw her yesterday.
The kids in this book are THE BEST!"

Non voglioooooooo! >.<
almeno gli hai dato il voto! XDP.s. Oggi la Schwab rivela la cover di ADSOM 2...*^*
Sì ma in realtà vorrei dire taaaanto (perché non è che quella fine mi abbia convinta), però allo stesso tempo non voglio, perché so che perderò troppo tempo e non so come mi ritroverò a finire la recensione alle 19, o peggio alle 21! ,________________,Whoa! E io devo ancora leggere il primo... bene, bene... xD
Wow, davvero? O.oIo ci metto una mezzoretta...e forse si vede xDDD
AHAHAH *la spinge su adsom*
Muovitiiii LOL
No, vabbè, si fa per dire! xD Però la sensazione del tempo che passa è quella xDMa sai, visto che non ho ancora iniziato aspetto che la data di pubblicazione del secondo sia vicina... che mi costa? xD
Ahahah ma se provassi a scriverla per punti? Così è molto più veloce, io quando non ho voglia/tempo faccio così xD*prende spruzzino*
Male Anna, male. Non c'è nemmeno un cliffie -.-
Magari faccio così anch'io... quanto mi annoia?!?? xDUh, niente cliffie. Mannaggia, la mia scusa non regge ._____.
AhahaMa dai, per punti ci vuole...un nulla u.u
Eh già *spruzza*
"Bad dog!" Cit. Mercer. XD
"Bad dog Mercer?" *^*
Se non c'è da criticare io non mi diverto, lo sai :(((AHAHAHA
Ok, frena, mi hai annaffiato abbastanza per oggi >.>
Ci penserò U_U
AHAHAHAH daiiiii :P*spruzza*
*sventola bacon davanti*
Daiiii *puppy eyes*
AHAHAH vedi ce l'hai fatta! P.s. Guarda quella cover, è bellissimaaaaa
EVVAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIII *asciuga sudore dalla fronte*Fammi capire... mi sventoli il bacon davanti... chi è il puppy, qui? >.>
Già fatto? xD
Sono stata via... un'ora AHAHAH
AHAHAHAHTu? Io?
Si, guarda il mio status *^*
Ahahah xDFatto u.u
Comunque, ora che ci penso la Schwab non cliffhangera (?) mai... almeno credo, ho solo letto una sua serie finora xD
Esatto, lei non scrive cliffie, motivo in più per adorarla? XD
Il film io l'ho visto :3Davvero bellino.
E poi Sam Claflin è LA pucciosità. Mi sono innamorata *w*
Non avevo intenzione di leggere il libro... ma mi stai quasi facendo cambiare idea u.u
Io lo sto guardando adesso... ehm xDSam. Come si può restare impassibili davanti a quel faccino? E quelle FOSSETTE! ♥w♥
Sìììì :3
Secondo me lo adorerai! O forse no perché sai già tutto, però a me è piaciuto tanto, nonostante tutto sia scritto attraverso lettere, e-mail, messaggi, biglietti d'auguri ecc :D
Comunque il film è già abbastanza diverso dal libro (non sono nemmeno a 10 minuti xD)

Io ormai mi meraviglio più del contrario xD
Va be', un po' lo capisco in questo caso. Immagino sia un casino trasformare un epistolario in un film xD
