Publisher Description
What do you do when you find a stranger in your closet; particularly when she's surprised that you can even see her -- and she can disappear and reappear at whim? What if she tells you that her body is actually in a coma on the other side of town? Should you have her see a psychiatrist or should you consult one yourself? Or do you take a chance and believe in her, and allow yourself to be swept up in an extraordinary adventure?
This is the beginning of the dilemma that Arthur, a young San Francisco architect, is faced with after a long day, when he discovers Lauren in his apartment.
Arthur is the only man who can share Lauren's secret, the only one who can see her, hear her, and talk to her when no one else so much as senses her presence. So when doctors prepare to end Lauren's physical care -- which would destroy the magical bond she and Arthur cherish -- Arthur must find a way to save her. For, after all, it is only her love that can save him.
If Only It Were True is a heartwarming love story impossible to forget, an adventure that is breathtaking and hilarious -- a captivating tale that evokes the essence of romance and our boundless capacity to believe.

"This book takes the genre of ghost story to a new level. Also, a romance, I absolutely loved the imagination of the author. I am eager to see the movie! It reminded me somewhat of Truly, Madly, Deeply. Very warm and engaging and contained a nice tie-up at the end!"

" I've read this book twice now. It's so cute/sweet! The movie version is even better ("Just Like Heaven", with Reese Witherspoon). Rent it! I'm keeping this book on the shelf. I'm certain I'll read it again in a few years. "

" The book has been reprinted with the new title "Just Like Heaven" to match the movie starring Reese Witherspoon. I like all but the last 40 words of it. i would change the ending and I haven't seen the ending of the movie to see if they end similarly "
— Brooke, 12/30/2013 -
" This was a really good book that was hard to put down. The movie is Just Like Heaven (the book is better of course!) "
— Tina, 12/20/2013 -
" Lame. Totally, completely, utterly lame. Deeply painful to read. The prose is lazy and the characters typical and pretty unbelievable. And way too corny, with basic carpe diem teenage philosophy. Oh my god, it was just so bad I can't believe it's finished to my relief. "

" I read online that this was THE hot French bestseller whenever it was first out, so I picked it up. It was terrible: bad chick lit written by a straight guy! It was later turned into the hideous Reese Witherspoon movie Just Like Heaven. "
— Aaron, 11/30/2012 -

" extremly different from the movie. There was a lot more in the book that i would have loved to see in the movie. The book went into great detail about the time they spent together while she was in a coma. "

" I think that it's an amazing romance story it kinda reminds me of Romeo and Juliet it has that plot of that book. If you are into romance this would be a great book for you. "

" This is the book on which the movie was based. It was a great read! Very quick and enjoyable, and very different from the movie. If you've seen the movie, you will still find surprises in this book. "

" the book is one of the best one i've ever read..<br/>i read it on my language, and it's full of quotes because the main roll Arthur likes to express himself with metaphors.. "
— Imane007, 1/18/2011 -
" it was ok,some part is kind of boring. But if you like romance, magical things,.. you will definitely love this. <br/>P/s: the ending is extremly marvellous. It saves the story, though "
— Karenie, 1/17/2011 -
" oh.. i've read this book few months ago.<br/>and i like the story. the only thing that i didn't like this book was that "how come both of them made love"..<br/>please. she's a ghost. well, not really a ghost because she was still alive in coma. but still I disn't like it..<br/> "
