"Sad at the very beginning, but overall a lighthearted, feel-good gentle read with a touch of fantasy/fairy tale quality. Would recommend to readers wanting Christian fiction, although the spiritual element is more of an undercurrent than an overt narrative force."

“Gives us full permission to believe in magic.”
— Redbook“Ahern devotees will enjoy the magical connection that springs up between Joyce and Justin, and will keep turning the pages to find out if the two can make their way to a happy ending together.”
— Booklist“Ahern has a knack for getting to the heart of human emotions—Joyce’s emotional pain is palpable, as is Justin’s longing for meaning in his life.”
— Library Journal“Tender and funny.”
— Kirkus Reviews" The book is full of drama. I like the concept of the story though it's unlikely to happen in real life. Haha "

— Abi, 1/28/2014" An amazing, completly exciting and great book! "
— Victoria, 1/16/2014" Just a quick read from the same author that wrote P.S. I Love You. Someone donates blood and the recipient gets his memories and they find each other. I guess I was drawn in by the "New Book" sticker and the cute colors on the cover..... "
— Lady, 1/14/2014" This book of Cecelia's can be termed 'Weird in a Pleasant way'. But, it might take some time before a reader actually starts taking interest in it. What seems a practically low start, takes beautiful turns, but then at times reader might feel like dozing off again. But, overall, it was a good read. :) "
— Tuhina, 1/10/2014" It was wonderful, totally transported me into the story. I felt like the main character. "

— Naj, 12/20/2013" Cute and like a fairy tale, slow plot progression "
— Emma, 12/5/2013" Chick Lit through and through. "
— Jeanie, 11/18/2013" 2.5 stars. Interesting concept but got frustrating towards the end. Felt like was written to be a movie with cliche scenes set up. But loved the father- great character!! "
— Oceantide74, 11/17/2013" Interesting story! Its hard to imagine that things in this story can really happen in real life but the author did a great job of creating a good story out of it. "
