About this deal
My characters push through and as a result evolve, become stronger and better equipped for the next challenge that life brings.
De som van jou' van Cecelia Ahern is namelijk niet bijzonder romantiek of spannend zoals je misschien gewend bent van andere verhalen, al zit er wel een kleine romantische laag in. It's about human connection, about change, pressing the reset button, but also about becoming comfortable in your own skin. Na de zoveelste parkeerboete bijt hij haar toe dat iedereen het gemiddelde is van de vijf personen met wie ze de meeste tijd doorbrengen, en dat dat in haar geval niet veel goeds voorspelt. I’ve always written about characters on journeys of self-discovery and increasingly I’ve been writing about outsiders.Ook al was het niet haar droombaan, ze houdt van de orde, de regels en de duidelijkheid van haar werk.
Cecelia Ahern does raise sensitive themes throughout the novel but there is no great amount of space given over to them. If you like this author then I suggest you give it a go and make up your mind because more than likely you too will enjoy it as many others have. The characters, including Spanner, Pops, Tristan, and Allegra herself, contribute to the heartwarming and diverse cast, creating a sense of community and family. You will fall in love with this young woman and she will remain with you long after you have closed this book.This simple image connected me to her despite her character being someone who is hard to get close to initially. At first, I felt engaged with this small town, her life as a traffic warden and the strict routine of the day, but it lost its shine with repetitiveness.
