by Cecelia Ahern (PS, I Love You and Thanks for the Memories are two of her other books that I've read and loved)
This is also known by Dear Rosie and Where Rainbows End (UK version). I listened to this on tape which was terrific because the story is told through notes, letters, emails, etc. over the span of 50 years in the friendship of Rosie and Alex. The woman who read the book was fantastic! She did such a great job on all the different voices from a young girl to a teenage boy to aging adults with Irish, Boston, British accents. I highly recommend this if you're looking for a different kind of romance.
From Cecelia's website http://www.cecelia-ahern.com/:
From naughty children to rebellious teenagers, Rosie and Alex have stuck by each other through thick and thin. But just as as they're discovering the joys of teenage nights on the town and dating disasters, they're separated. Alex's family move from Dublin to America - and Alex goes with them. For good.
Rosie's lost without him. But on the eve of her departure to join Alex in Boston, Rosie gets news that will change her life forever - and keep her at home in Ireland.
their magical connection sees them through the ups and downs of each others lives, but neither of them knows whether their friendship can survive the years and miles - or new relationships. And at the back of Rosie's mind is whether they were meant to be more than just good friends all along. Misunderstandings, circumstances and sheer bad luck have kept them apart, but when presented with the ultimate opportunity, will they gamble everything for true love?
