About the author

Marc Levy was born in France. When he turned eighteen, he joined the Red Cross, where he spent the next six years. In 1983, he created a computer graphics company based in France and the United States. Six years later, he co-founded an interior design and planning company with two friends; the company soon became one of the leading architecture firms in France.

At thirty-seven, Marc Levy wrote a story for the man that his son would grow up to be. In early 1999, his sister, a screenwriter (now a film director), encouraged him to send the manuscript to a French publisher, who immediately decided to publish If Only It Were True. Before it was published, Steven Spielberg (Dreamworks) acquired film rights to the novel. The movie, Just like Heaven, starring Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo, was a #1 box office hit in America in 2005.

After If Only It Were True, Marc Levy began writing full-time. Since then, he has written 18 novels. His work has been translated into 49 languages and has sold over 40 million copies worldwide.

In addition, Marc Levy has directed a short movie, written short stories and song lyrics for various artists, including Johnny Hallyday.

Le Figaro newspaper recently commissioned a nationwide poll asking the French to rank their favorite author: Marc Levy and Victor Hugo were #1.

Marc Levy currently lives in New York City. Readers can learn more about him and follow his work on www.marclevy.info

Everyone wishes for a second chance, more time, a do-over....just a few more days. What if you had the chance of a lifetime to have that wish come true?

Julia was just three days away from her wedding when she received a phone call that would change her life forever. However, nothing could prepare her for the greater surprise that came afterward! Thrusting her into a whirlwind of disbelief, travel around the world and ultimately on a quest to find a "ghost" from her past, whatever the final outcome, Julia's life never would be the same!

Marc Levy, the most widely read author in France and world wide best selling author, has created a charming romantic tale that, while it suspends belief, makes you believe in happy endings once again. The prose flows beautifully, the characters are witty, sometimes biting, but in the end you will be fully invested in their story.

This reads like a French Rom-Com because that is exactly what it is - and it is an enjoyable one! If you like romance, comedy, Nicholas Sparks, then this is a book for you. 4-Stars

Thanks to Netgalley, Marc Levy and Amazon Crossing for my copy of this book.

This is the kind of book you should approach knowing that it is not meant to change the future of literature. Very simple written, very simple story (even if with a little twist in the ending, but it doesn't really change much of the story) and you know how it is going to end from the very start of the book.
But Marc Levy sends a message - a very deep one. The story may be simple, the writing even simpler, but this doesn't change the fact that the message is not simple at all.
The relationship between parent-child is not simple and he did a good job portraying it. Parents are human beings, therefore they make mistakes. Therefore they have to be understood. That is a difficult task for anyone. Not everyone succeed in it. On the contrary, I'd say that most of the people don't, without even realizing it until they find themselves in the same situation their parents did and sometimes it is too late.
As usual, Levy is the writer of second chances and the love story of this book is, in my opinion, charming.
In a world in which love has been stigmatized in "relationship's statutes" (that honestly gross me greatly) Tomas and Julia's love is a the same time believable, sweet and magic.
So, what about this book? It won't change the history of literature, but it may help you change your life - or at least understand it a little bit more - and it doesn't seem a bad thing to me!

Es la primera vez que leo algo de este autor y me ha sorprendido gratamente. La historia no solo es original sino que da que pensar positivamente en las segundas oportunidades y en tener fe en las personas... Muy recomendable

[Deanna · Rating 1 out of 5]

I usually don’t star rate books I don’t finish. But with this one I feel I ought to be warning people, since I found nothing recommendable here.

The protagonist is in nonstop whine-bitch-moan mode. I think she’s meant to be at least late 20’s. But as a character her maturity level has to be 14-17. There’s no substance there to redeem this woman-child, to make her remotely interesting. She’s a stereotyped spoiled only kid expecting a big inheritance, though that fact is background info. It doesn’t seem like the author is painting a dislikable clueless brat. I think we are supposed to like, be interested in, and care about this character.

There are no other characters here with any depth or individuality. The sidekick is a an older gay man who seems carelessly torn from the casting pages. I’ve seen on screen, and read, this guy scores of times. He’s so stereotyped as to be almost offensive to a stereotype. But he was the only character whose company I could stand.

I found the plot weak, the pace slow. At this point I don’t even need to say “melodrama,” do I?

Key circumstance in the novel are deeply unbelievable, as in, not only do I not believe this, but things don’t actually work this way. This would not actually happen, not in this context. It’s like the author is guessing about how some things work because he’s not familiar with how they do, even though the circumstances are commonplace enough. This alone just about drove me nuts.

I didn’t expect a great deal here, a simple and enjoyable little story is all I asked of this.

Standard caveat: maybe all this gets a lot better and pays off. I bailed around the 1/3 mark. I haven’t even read other reviews. Maybe others found a more palatable and rewarding novel.

I’m 0 for 2 this year in the quest for a pretty good light read, and this is my second DNF in not very long. My reading year started out pretty darn good. I need to get back to that.

Writing level at "learn to become a writer at home" quality and the plot twist is rather absurd.

I hate it when I accidentally stumble into Harlequin territory.

[Aline · Rating 3 out of 5]

I read it yesterday night and this morning, as fast as I could. Not beacause I liked it, but because I wanted to get rid of it as fast as I could!
Like all Marc Levy's novels, it was full of clichés and of silly romantism. It was really boring until page 300 or so, when a little bit of action came into the story. But, even like that, I didn't enjoyed it much. Anthony Walsh, who was rather funny and ironic in the first pages, becomes really sentimental in the end, which was a real shame, because it quite didn't fit with the first feeling that we get of him. Stanley was, from my point of view, a mix between George, the gay friend of Julia Roberts in "My best friend wedding" and Marshall Trublood, the gay antiques seller in Martha Grimes' crime novels. As for the other characters, they were too uninteresting to bee talked about!

[SMLauri · Rating 5 out of 5]

Precioso.
No se me ocurre nada más para describirlo.
Ante todo es un libro de amor. Pero no de amor romántico. Amor de un padre por su hija. Un padre que hace todo lo que puede para arreglar lo que ha hecho mal y que su hija pueda ser feliz.

Me gusta mucho como escribe Marc Levy. Cuando empecé a leerlo esperaba algo mucho más empalagoso, pero en los dos libros suyos que he leído me he sorprendido mucho.

Lo recomiendo a todo el mundo.

Le doy un 9 porque los dieces me los reservo para Tolkien, George RR Martin y Rowling.

[Sargow · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lo increíble de este libro es la forma en la que te cuenta la historia.
Al principio pensé que iba a aburrirme mucho pues comenzaba con un rocambolesco encuentro entre un padre y su hija pero conforme avanza el libro se expande la trama y lo que ocurre no tiene nada que ver con lo que, yo al menos, creía que iba a pasar.
La historia termina siendo un cruce entre pasado, presente y futuro. A través de flashabacks a modo de cartas el autor cuenta la historia real y se convierte todo en una historia acerca de las pequeñas cosas que pueden cambiar tu vida por completo.
Lo recomiendo mucho a las personas que no se llevan bien con sus padres o que dudan de las decisiones que han ido tomando en su vida. De verdad, este libro te abre los ojos.
Una de las cosas que más me gusta es que la historia, a pesar de ser un drama, está teñida de momentos cómicos. Aún así, es muy emotiva y en más de una ocasión he tenido que secarme las lágrimas.

All Those Things We Never Said was exactly what I have come to expect from Marc Levy. I can totally see his books played out on the big screen. He gives us such colorful characters who find themselves in the most ridiculous situations! Lighthearted, fun, and silly which is just what I needed at this point in time!

[Zai · Rating 3 out of 5]

Una historia que ahonda, bastante más de lo que en un principio pueda parecer, en lo más profundo de las relaciones personales.

El eje de la novela es la relación entre padre e hija, es una historia de amor y reconciliación, aunque hay una trama romántica, la historia gira más en torno al amor paternal.

En cuanto al estilo de Marc Levy la novela se caracteriza por una prosa fresca, amena y fluida. La historia está cargada de sentido del humor e ironía a pesar de que en ocasiones trata temas serios. El hecho de estar repleta de diálogos hacen que la lectura sea muy rápida, ligera y entretenida. Se podría decir que esta historia es una mezcla de realidad y fantasía con elementos increíbles, que le dan originalidad a la historia.

A story about relationships. And about lost opportunities to communicate.

Between parent and child. Men and women. Men and men. Women and women. Parent and Parent.

At its' core, a very nice love story.

By a popular and current French writer.

[Vicky · Rating 3 out of 5]

I keep buying Marc Levy's novels because they're nice and cute, nothing more. They're an easy read, they don't required much concentration so are perfect for those times in life when you are more busy than you can handle and need an easy escape. I'll never reread them but I always lend them.

This particular one was a fun read, it is full of humour. Suspension of belief is a requirement, if you're not willing to go along with anything out of the ordinary, then don't bother you won't enjoy it. I'm not saying more on that subject cause I don't want to spoil it for those who would like to read it. It has of course a love story, two in fact one of fatherly love and one of a first love. Definitely an enjoyable read, simple, amusing and well written. I recommend for those of you in need of a light read.

"Gülmeni isterdim canım, koşa koşa, pencerenin yanına gidip orada gizlenmiş ağlayan babana, buna bir son vermesini, onu bazen tanıdığımı söylemeni isterdim; kim olduğunu bildiğimi söyle ona, beni ziyarete geldiği her gün onu yeniden sevebildiğime göre, birbirimizi nasıl sevdiğimizi anımsadığımı söyle."

Uzun süre önce aldığım ama yapabildiğim kadarından asla memnun kalmadığım kararlardan birisi de bu; insanlara onlar hakkında ne hissettiğini bildirmek. Çünkü yarının olacağını ve onlarla bir daha konuşma fırsatımızın olacağının garantisini kim verebilir ki bize? Yada onlarla bir daha konuştuğumuzda her şeyin aynı kalacağından emin olabilir miyiz?

Kitap da bu konu ekseninde geçiyor. Birbirine çok geç kalmış bir baba - kız, ayrılmak zorunda kalan iki sevgili ve o tanıdık, harika anlatım...

Söz konusu Marc Levy olduğunda asla hayal kırıklığına uğramıyorsunuz. Bir kitabın kalbinize nasıl bu denli dokunabileceğine hayret de etmiyorsunuz. Çünkü o her seferinde bunu bir şekilde başarıyor.

Unul din lucrurile care le regretăm atunci când pleacă din viață o persoană dragă este faptul că nu am reușit să petrecem mai mult timp cu el/ea sau să îi mai spunem unele lucruri care am fi vrut să le știe.

Așa șansă i s-a oferit, totuși, Juliei. Ea a fost o mare parte din viața ei în relații rele cu tatăl său, considerând că el a fost mereu prea egoist și prea ignorant pentru a-și da silința de a fi un tată bun. Deși i-a distrus multe din visele ei, Cireașa de pe tort, la cât de cinic nu ar suna, a fost și faptul că acesta a decedat iar înmormântarea lui urma să fie chiar în ziua nunții Juliei.

În această avalanșă de emoții de la frustrare la Tristețe, Julia se trezește cu tatăl său la ea acasă. Doar că e varianta lui robotizată care arată exact ca Anthony, tatăl, și care îi mai și păstrează memoria răposatului. Julia află că e un model nou creat de compania lui, care are termen de valabilitate de 7 zile, și care are ca scop faptul de a-i readuce “la viață” pentru încă o săptămână ca persoanele dragi să poată utiliza cele câteva zile ce le lipsesc de obicei și pe care ulterior le regretă.

În așa mod Julia pornește în această călătorie ciudată care, crede ea, că îi va deschide ochii pentru trecutul care l-a avut, însă care ajunge să îi deschidă ochii și să îi schimbe radical viitorul ei.

Mais um livro do Marc Levy que me deu prazer de ler, que me levou a devorar página a página com um crescente suspense, humor e emoção.

Três dias antes do casamento da Julia, o pai desta morre. Então, o evento matrimonial é cancelado e passa a funeral. A relação que a Julia tivera com o seu pai fora sempre difícil, fria, distante e intocável. Há uns anos que não se viam nem falavam um com o outro. O pai nem sequer sabia onde morava a filha, até receber o convite do matrimonio antes de perecer. Portanto o falecimento do pai não causou um efeito de perda à filha, não a fez derramar lágrimas de dor ou de arrependimento. Ela apenas ficou com uma raiva por o pai ter feito com que o seu casamento fosse cancelado como se o tivesse feito de propósito.

Mas algo inesperado vai acontecer.... Após o funeral, a filha recebe uma encomenda enorme com dois metros de altura, legado que o pai lhe deixou. O que será esta encomenda? Esta surpresa nunca imaginada vai levá-la a conhecer verdadeiramente o pai, e sobretudo a perdoá-lo, e também a reencontrar o seu verdadeiro amor...

Ao principio, não fiquei convencido quando o conteúdo da encomenda foi revelado, mas permiti que a imaginação do autor me transportasse até ao final.

E devo afirmar que foi uma rica aventura literária! Levou-me a visitar Alemanha, onde testemunhei a queda do Muro de Berlim e a unificação de duas partes deste país alemão. Os puzzles do pai e da filha foram-se juntando e tudo começou a fazer sentido... Passamos a ter uma empatia com os dois.

A melhor parte está no final do livro e deixou-me simultaneamente atónito e emocionado. Foi realmente a maior surpresa que o pai deu à filha, absolutamente genial!

[Euisry Noor · Rating 3 out of 5]

Bayangkan bagaimana rasanya jika kita dikejutkan dengan sebuah paket besar berisi seseorang yang kita tahu betul dia baru saja meninggal. “Orang” itu bukan hantu, melainkan semacam robot manusia yang sengaja diciptakan untuk memberi “kesempatan waktu kebersamaan” sedikit lebih lama dengan orang terdekat yang ditinggalkannya. Hm, tak terbayang, bukan? Tapi, ide nyeleneh itu tampaknya hinggap juga di imajinasi penulis “All Those Things We Never Said”, Marc Levy. Bagi seorang penulis fiksi, hal-hal semacam itu selalu menjadi mungkin. Dan melalui itu, penulis leluasa menyampaikan “hal-hal yang ingin disampaikan” kepada pembaca.

Dalam All Those Things We Never Said, situasi Julia Walsh bahkan lebih kompleks daripada sekedar dikejutkan oleh paket berisi manusia android yang berupa sosok ayahnya, Anthony Walsh. Julia bahkan ragu apakah dia menginginkan ”sedikit waktu tambahan” bersama ayahnya. Semua yang bisa dipikirkan Julia selain kaget dan tak percaya ialah bahwa ia begitu benci terhadap ayahnya, ayahnya sungguh keterlaluan. Julia sudah cukup benci terhadap ayahnya atas perlakuannya ketika masih hidup. Ayahnya tak pernah mempedulikan dirinya. Julia di masa kecilnya harus merasakan kerinduan akan ayahnya, yang kemudian mengecewakannya. Anthony terlalu sibuk dengan pekerjaannya. Bahkan ketika Julia kecil harus merawat ibunya yang sakit dan kehilangan ingatan, lalu meninggal. Julia tumbuh menjadi seorang wanita mandiri yang lepas dari ayahnya. Sejak kabur dari rumahnya yang penuh kenangan, Julia hidup atas jerih payahnya sendiri. Bagi Julia, terlalu banyak daftar kesalahan ayahnya yang tampaknya selalu menghancurkan kebahagiaannya. Kini, setelah Julia dewasa hidup di dunianya sendiri, lagi-lagi ayahnya membuat kekacauan. Tepat 3 hari sebelum pernikahannya dengan Adam, tiba-tiba ayahnya meninggal. Julia tak habis pikir, bahkan saat meninggalpun ayahnya terus saja mengacaukan hidupnya. Ditambah lagi tak lama setelah itu ia dikejutkan dengan paket berisi manusia android yang amat mirip dengan ayahnya itu... Anthony sungguh membuatnya benar-benar stress...

Situasi Julia setelahnya bahkan lebih rumit lagi. Ia harus menyembunyikan keberadaan ”ayahnya” di apartemennya itu. Apa kemauan ayahnya? Menurut ”ayahnya” alias manusia android itu, ia sengaja diciptakan untuk menyampaikan banyak hal yang harus diketahui oleh Julia. Untuk itu Julia harus mau melakukan perjalanan jauh ke berbagai tempat bersama ”ayahnya” itu. ”Ayahnya” itu hanya punya waktu 6 hari.

Ide cerita novel ini memang menarik. Pembaca dibuat menyelami perasaan Julia yang marah, kesal, juga bingung gara-gara ayahnya. Menyimak novel ini kita dibuat sama herannya dengan Julia, semua tampak seolah-olah apa yang dialami Julia memang terjadi atas skenario ayahnya. Akan tetapi, untuk sampai pada terkuaknya ”maksud” ayah Julia, pembaca harus bersabar menelusuri alur novel ini. Sebab, diantara kehebohan perjalanan Julia dan ayahnya, kita diajak flash-back menyimak masa lalu Julia saat mengadakan perjalanan ke Jerman dan bertemu dengan cinta pertamanya. Masa lalu itu diceritakan cukup panjang beserta detil-detil setting masa robohnya tembok Berlin. Lagi-lagi, flash-back itupun tampaknya memang bagian dari rencana Anthony yang belakangan ternyata memang sengaja mendekatkan Julia dengan cerita cinta masa lalunya, yang juga kacau dan menyisakan kenangan pahit gara-gara ulah ayahnya.

Meski alurnya terasa agak lambat, berkat ide ceritanya yang unik novel ini sukses mempertahankan ’misteri’nya hingga akhir. Pada akhirnya, setelah tuntas membaca novel ini hingga akhir, tak peduli meski ada sedikit bagian yang menimbulkan ’tanda tanya’ menggantung di benak, kita dapat memetik makna dari skenario unik seorang ayah atas kehidupan putrinya ini. Seperti tersirat dari judulnya, ”All Those Things We Never Said”, kita seolah teringatkan akan hal-hal yang tak pernah kita katakan (padahal perlu kita ungkapkan) kepada orang-orang yang kita sayangi.

Yang menarik dari All Those Things We Never Said, pesan moralnya lebih dari itu. Melalui perjalanan ayah-anak yang agak ganjil itu, kita akhirnya menemukan sebuah ungkapan rasa sayang seorang ayah yang meski tak dikatakan, namun begitu nyata diungkapkan dalam bentuk tindakan. Lebih jauh lagi, kita teringatkan akan suatu kenyataan paradoks yang tersirat dari kisah Julia dan ayahnya ini: selama bertahun-tahun Anthony membiarkan anaknya berpikir bahwa dia tak ingin melihatnya bahagia. Selama itu tak ada tindakan apapun untuk memperbaiki hubungan itu. Lalu, baru setelah tersisa sedikit waktu untuk memperbaiki kesalahan masa lalu, Anthony baru menunjukkan besarnya kasih sayang yang terpendam itu. Anthony masih beruntung memiliki ”kesempatan kedua”. Bagaimana jika kesempatan itu tak ada?

Hal menarik lainnya adalah ide ”kesempatan kedua” seperti yang diceritakan oleh manusia android replika Anthony Walsh di awal. Menurutnya, dirinya adalah produk berteknologi tinggi yang sengaja dirancang dan diciptakan untuk melakukan hal-hal yang ingin dilakukan oleh seseorang pada ”kesempatan kedua”. Jadi, setelah orang itu meninggal, keluarganya mendapat kesempatan tambahan beberapa hari untuk menghabiskan waktu bersama manusia duplikat almarhum. Dan almarhum sendiri telah merancang hal-hal yang ingin dikatakan ataupun dilakukan oleh replika dirinya itu bagi orang-orang terdekatnya. Betapapun juga, dengan alasan etika kemanusiaan, masa aktif baterai produk itu hanya beberapa hari. Orang tak bisa terus-menerus hidup bersama bayangan masa lalu; orang harus tetap menghadapi kenyataan yang sebenarnya... Hm, ide yang gila... Pernyataan tersebut seolah menguatkan pesan moral yang tersirat dari judul “All Those Things We Never Said” itu sendiri: ide gila itu seakan memunculkan pertanyaan dari akal sehat kita, ”Kenapa begitu repot, kenapa tak pergunakan saja kesempatan kita selagi hidup untuk melakukan dan mengatakan hal-hal yang perlu diungkapkan itu?”

So, ungkapkanlah selagi ada kesempatan... 

Para algunos es una novela aburrida, para otros sin sentido pero lo cierto es que para comprender el verdadero mensaje de esta historia tienes que haber pasado por situaciones similares con los padres.
Las relaciones paternales son una de las que más problemas presentan, a pesar de tener la misma sangre atraves de las décadas los padres e hijos se empeñan en odiarse los unos con los otros y este es el tema central del libro, la historia de como Julia y su padre no tiene comunicación alguna y el mismo día de la boda de Julia su padre será enterrado.
La historia inicia en el momento en que Julia recibe la noticia que su padre murió y será enterrado el mismo día de su boda, para cualquier hija esta sería una noticia catastrófica pero a diferencia, Julia no sabe que sentir, si rabia, dolor o simplemente vació. Y eso es exactamente lo que sucede cuando la relación con tus padres no es la que debería ser.
Esa es la principal razón por la que me conecte tanto con el personaje de Julia, jamás he tenido una buena relación con mi madre y a mi padre no lo conocí y siempre he querido tener esa pequeña oportunidad que la vida le brinda a Julia de disfrutar un poco más de su padre.
Si hablamos de la escritura del libro tengo que alegar que si bien es cierto el escritor es un poco tajante en sus diálogos y un poco apresurado en echos es un gran escritor, por lo menos eso me parece porque supo tomar una historia y poco a poco te introduce otra sin que sepas en que terminará.
Sin duda alguna se los recomiendo, es un libro que todo padre e hijo debe leer para que comprenda un poco desde otro punto de vista los muchos errores que cometemos los hijos juzgando las actitudes de los padres y a su vez los padres tratando de dominar siempre la vida de los hijos.

În romanul „Toate acele lucruri pe care nu ni le-am spus”, Marc Levy prezintă povestea unui tată prea ocupat să îi acorde fiicei lui atenția de care ea are nevoie. Este o poveste fascinantă care trece bariera dintre viață și moarte prin noua tehnologie. Nici în acest roman nu lipsește romantismul, umorul sau suspansul. Nici nu vreau sa vă povestesc despre ce e în general, deoarece vreau sa descoperiti singuri. Această carte mi-a plăcut foarte mult, in timpul lecturii am avut diferite emoții, nervi, zâmbete, lacrimi etc. Nu pot sa vă spun decât ca merită citită. La inceput credeam ca e stranie, dar am descoperit pe parcurs o dragoste de părinte foarte puternică, un tată dornic să-şi repare greşelile din timpul vieţii, dar si o poveste de dragoste foarte frumoasă. Recomand cu încredere această carte. ❤

A love between a parent and a child can easily get distorted as they both get older. In this story, Julia is estranged from her father, Anthony, and is about to get married when she gets the phone call that he's dead. A few days after the funeral, she receives a large crate and the story begins!

It funny, emotional and heartwarming about a father trying to make amends for the wrong he's done. The author writes the story in a way that exposes the past mistakes made by both, Julia and her dad along with current errors she may be making. The story is lightweight, it includes a blend of expository and descriptive writing styles, and the humor in the story aligns perfectly without insulting the reader.

[Jennifer · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is all about second chances. Julia is forced to postpone her wedding in order to have her father's funeral. They've been estranged for years. When "he" shows up in her apartment a few days later offering the chance to spend just a few more days together, she accepts hesitantly. The two of them then embark on a trip down memory lane. Julia is forced to remember painful memories about important relationships in her earlier years. She ends up with a chance to reconcile with not just her father. I don't want to say more and ruin the story.

This is the second book I've read by Marc Levy and I think he does a marvelous job. I like his characters - they are very normal, yet have incredible experiences.

4.5 / 5 ⭐

Marc Levy to zdecydowanie "Mój" autor, tworzący książki potrafiące przemówić do najgłębszych zakamarków mojego serca. "Wszystko, czego nie zdążyliśmy powiedzieć" to wzruszająca powieść o córce, która dostaje drugą szansę zbudowania relacji z ojcem, który był nieobecny w jej życiu. Bardzo podobał mi się zabieg otwartego zakończenia. Jak zawsze Levy po mistrzowsku balansował między życiem, a śmiercią, poruszając tematy ważne, skłaniając do refleksji. Przez pierwsze 100 stron nie mogłam 'wgryźć' się w historię, stąd obniżona ocena

[Kim Phan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Julia and Thomas fell in love despite the social-economical, geographical, cultural, and linguistical differences. They were separated for 18 years, she thought he was dead, he thought she had a change of heart. When they saw each other again through series of serendipitous events, their love for each other was undeniably strong still, and that passion radiates beyond the pages of this book.

This book not only mesmerized the reader's mind, it also awakens the reader's unrealistic fantasies of a romantic love. But this book is not only about romantic love, but also the love between a parent and the adult child. Parents have unconditional love for their children, but all those things we never said to each other created a rift between two people that only through death that they were reunited again.

Perhaps reading two fiction books in a row would highly be unlikely again, I was glad I chose Marc Levy. This book was entertaining and addicting, although the beginning was just a bit ordinary.

Some memorable, translated texts:
“It’s funny how we always search for reasons not to love—fear of suffering, fear of abandonment—but the love of life, oh, how much you can take for granted until you realize that, one day, you’re going to lose all of it"

"I walked through cities the whole world over, just longing to find the same air you might have breathed. They say that when two people are truly in love, their thoughts are connected, intertwined. I often wondered about that as I laid my head down to sleep at night. I wondered if you were thinking about me while I was thinking about you."

As a daughter who actually quite no really close to her father, this book makes me smile, brings back all the good and sad memories in a sweet way.

No matter what the situations you're dealing with please call/talk to those you care about and tell them that you love them regardless whatever they've done to you in the past. Hey somehow you've certainly hurts others without even aware about it!

Witty and cheerful, especially the killer queen -Stanley- who lives up the story I think it's better than I've expected at first. Recommended for those who seek for long-lost love and romantic first love :D

****

Buku yang asik, terutama karakter Stanley yang menurutku mampu menghidupkan cerita ini agar tetap di jalurnya.

Mungkin di satu titik aku akan menyesali satu dari beberapa keputusan yang pernah kubuat dan berharap untuk mengulang kembali roda waktu untuk mengubahnya. Dan saat itu tidak memungkinkan, paling tidak memperbaikinya.

Ini yang dilakukan Anthony Walsh, dan dia tidak seorang diri. Di luar caranya yang mungkin tidak biasa, dan melakukan apa yang populer dengan istilah white lies, dengan berusaha memperbaiki kesalahan itu membuat kita juga berdamai sedikit dengan diri kita.

Katakanlah apa yang harus dikatakan sebelum semuanya terlambat.

قصة توماس و جوليا حستها ناقصة و مش متماسكة و حاسة إن الرواية كانت هتبقي احسن بكتير لو كان التركيز اكتر على علاقة جوليا و باباها و ذكرياتهم لأنها فعلا كانت ألطف حاجة طول الرواية و بتبين جمال و لطف و صعوبة العلاقة بين الأم و الأب و الولاد بشكل جميل للغاية ...
نهاية الرواية متوقعة اوى معرفش ليه فكرتنى بالافلام العربي القديمة..
