  <default_description>&lt;B&gt;Now in paperback: In this charming novel, internationally bestselling author Cecelia Ahern shows that sometimes not seeing is believing!&lt;/B&gt;  &lt;P&gt;Readers and critics alike adore Cecelia Ahern for her lighthearted yet insightful stories about modern women and their often unusual situations. In &lt;I&gt;If You Could See Me Now&lt;/I&gt;, she takes that theme a step further, offering us a heroine who is entirely believable, and the new man in her life who is, well, slightly less so.  &lt;P&gt;Elizabeth Egan's life runs on order: Both her home and her emotions are arranged just so, with little room for spontaneity. It's how she counteracts the chaos of her family -- an alcoholic mother who left when she was young, an emotionally distant father, and a free-spirited sister, who seems to be following in their mother's footsteps, leaving her own six-yearold son, Luke, in Elizabeth's care. When Ivan, Luke's mysterious new grown-up friend, enters the picture, Elizabeth doesn't know quite what to make of him. With his penchant for adventure and colorful take on things large and small, Ivan opens Elizabeth's eyes to a whole new way of living. But is it for real? Is Ivan for real?  &lt;P&gt;&lt;I&gt;If You Could See Me Now&lt;/I&gt; is a love story with heart -- and just a touch of magic.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Really not sure what to make of this book. It came free with a magazine and I thought I'd give it a go. I'm not really one for chick lit, although I thought Cecilia Ahern's 'PS I Love You' was decent as far as that genre goes. However I think I wanted this book to be better than it was.

    <body><![CDATA[I did really like this book. It's obviously not meant to be a serious piece of academic literature so the main character is a bit of a cliche. Luke , the child, is also supposed to be 'fine', whereas I don't think that is at all possible looking at his relationships with his (mainly absent) mother, ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66268691">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Ugh. I really struggled with reading this book. It took me so much longer than it should have just because I could not get into it! I guess I am just too practical to enjoy this one. :) I have no problem with a book being a little unrealistic, for the sake of a good love story. :) But in this case, ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/70480885">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was a great book! A wonderful idea for a story, with the element of magic (an invisible friend that actually exists). Ahern writes in such a way that you find yourself believing in the story, and she has a way of writing an ending that's neither happy nor sad, but satisfying; even though it's e...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/56640166">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Wonderfully written, wonderfully entertaining!  The story in this book, and the lessons I learned from it are:  we are all blessed with imaginations.  We choose to use them in our lives, or we choose to ignor or bury them and say they don't exist.  (That takes a lot of fun out of life.)<br/>When we...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43700881">more...</a>]]></body>
