One day I might see my ratings again and wonder why the hell did I give it 3 stars (which I seem to do a lot often), but right now I'm giving this book a 3 stars. I liked the idea. Plot wasnt that bad either. I loved Charolette with all her eccentricities (read food allergies). She is the only character I loved in the book. Not even young Lottie. The book however at times reminded me of 'Remember Me?' by Sophie Kinsella. compare to you're the one that i don't want, this novel more serious and depressing .. i like the characters actually because the 30-years-old Charlotte remind me of myself and Miles is kind of the guy of my dream... "I have tons of allergies, which is a bit embarrassing, as that makes me sound like one of those trendy, annoying types who wear Crocs and think it's cool to have a wheat intolerance, but I genuinely do have allergies""also a bad sleeper. Just terrible. I find it so hard to switch off. As soon as I close my eyes, all these niggling worries begin running around in my head like millions of ants. I tried counting them once, like they tell you to do with sheep, but it had the opposite effect. Instead of making me fall asleep, it made me wide awake with fear and I ended up staying up that whole night watching cosmetic-surgery-gone-wrong programmes on TV. Not only was I exhausted the next day, but I now have these weird nightmares about vaginal rejuvenation. (Trust me, there is such a thing as too much information.) So that's the last time I'm ever going to try that.""I mean, what's the point of worrying all the time?' She shrugs.I stare at her, perplexed. Is that a trick question?'Well, it's not about there being a point…''So why do it, then?' she asks simply.'Because…' I open my mouth to explain, only I can't quite think of anything to say.'It's a total waste of time.' She reaches for a pot of glittery nail varnish and tries it out on her big toe. 'If the worst is going to happen, it'll happen. Worrying can't protect you from that. And if it doesn't happen' - she raises her eyebrows - 'then you've missed out on all the time when you could have been having fun.' Smiling brightly, she puts down the pot of glittery nail varnish and picks up a bright purple one instead and starts doing the other foot. Meanwhile I'm looking at her in astonishment. How did I change from her to me? From this carefree person into someone who spends their whole time with a nervous knot in their stomach. What on earth happened to me?""there has been something missing in my life, I was missing in my life. I lost sight of who I was. I lost myself. And now here, in this bedroom, I've found myself again"
