Title : If You Could See Me Now
Nice Book. Talks about imaginary friends that comes and go. Lol. Saying that they exist and it's either you see them and feel them or you don't. Here's a bit of the story.
Elizabeth Egan's life is always well-defined until her family enters the picture. As Elizabeth deals with her traumatic past as a daughter deserted by her own mother, she looks after the other family members left behind. As history repeats itself and her sister runs away with her car, she is left to take care of her nephew and her nephew's new invisible friend, Ivan. However, Elizabeth starts seeing Ivan and through him, sees her world with renewed hope and excitement.
Trapped in a stifling small, Elizabeth Egan had always been known as a serious woman, never laughing at jokes or taking joys from the simplest pleasure of life.
This is due to the effect of being abandoned by her free-spirited mother when she was young and was forced to grow up to babysit her sister, Saoirse. Her predicament was made worse when her father was ever watchful that Elizabeth did not end up being like her mother,seeing that her face features took after her mother.
In the end, it was really Saoirse (her younger sister) that takes over their mother's character to the extent of being pregnant and not knowing who the father's child was. On the night of what would have been Elizabeth's greatest night of her career, Saoirse's predicament caused Elizabeth to reach a crossroad and ended her dreams of ever pursuing happiness with the man she had truly loved.
Not that Saoirse cared anyway.
Taking advantage of the obliged responsibilities instilled in Elizabeth, Saoirse continued to lead live with abandonment leaving Elizabeth to be stuck with Luke.
Though Elizabeth seems to appear cold and cool-headed,but deep inside she felt like she was the most loneliest being in the world. Even as she badly needed a friend, she does not think that there is a single soul in this world that can truly understand her.
Until Ivan appears.
Well.. Nice book. Yet I think, I got a feeling I would like the other two books much much better. And yes I can say I love them. Lol.
Cheers~
