I was also looking forward to see the salsa dance championship participated by Ruby. I realized that I was far more interested to learn Ruby’s life slightly more than Rosie’s. Wait, he was there but it was done differently. Another key character who was missing in the movie- Greg the cheating bank manager.

Also, some important characters were missing, like Rosie’s big sister- Stephanie wasn’t around. Nuff said.Īs I said earlier, the plot has slight changes and some parts that wish to be seen on the big screen wasn’t there which could be a disappointment for us book readers. Sam Claflin who played Alex was hot and donned his prince-like charming smile. God, she was that pretty that I could easily forgive any glitches in the movie. Apart from her good job in acting her part and being hopelessly attracted to Alex, I couldn’t stop looking at her unbelievable oh-so-awesome face and her brunette and luscious hair. Not only she delivered her character emotionally, but it was also delivered comically as well. I was first very worried of how she was going to carry the part “Rosie Dunne” in the movie. Let me start with the beautiful, godlike, stunning Lily Collins. It was instilled with some new and different scenes and characters that still kept the movie going on without messing up some major turn of events. The movie however, was equally wonderful. I felt sad for her and curse all the ill-timings that screwed up everything for these two. The book was, AMAZING! I loved every bit of it, and loved Rosie and Alex duo through and through. Knowing the movie coming out soon, I took the liberty to finish the book as soon as I can a week before. The journey could have been just as authentic and more impactful with less.Last night, my cousin and I finally hit the cinema for the long awaited chick flick- “Love, Rosie.” It was originally a book called “Where Rainbows End” by Cecelia Ahern. There were some conversations I found pointless or long winded. Perhaps the only complaint I have is that I felt the story dragged on. The struggles they endured, the loss and the happy times, all felt very real and made the characters feel real too.

At times I found this frustrating and wanted to yell at the characters 'Just tell each other how you feel already!' So much heartache and insecurities could have been avoided if they had. Their feelings for each other grow over the years, yet they never seem to leave the platonic stage of their relationship. It allows you to get a glimpse of not only Rosie's and Alex's life/thoughts, but also those of their family and friends.Īlex and Rosie meet as young children and quickly become best friends. At first, I was unsure if I'd like this format, but I ended up thinking it worked really well. Written solely in the form of correspondences (letters, emails, online chats) Love, Rosie tells the story of Rosie and Alex over the span of 45 years.
