If You Could See Me Now

The book "If You Could See Me Now" is written by Cecelia Ahern. It's one of the best books I've read. It's up there along with George Orwell's "1984", David Eddings' "The Redemption of Althalus" and all of David Gemmell's books.
Let's look at the two main characters. Elizabeth Egan is a woman who is in control of her life. She acts like any adult would, keeping to themselves, strict to kids, drinks tons of coffee and taking responsibilities for her family and herself. She puts on a false front because of her childhood and vow never to allow her emotions to get better of her.
Ivan elbisivni, first appears as Luke's imaginary friend. He comes from Ekam Eveileb, which in case you think I have a serious case of mis-spelling (which is true), the wierd words are spelt backwards. Ivan is a happy, fun loving guy. He loves to have fun like a kid but is incredibly smart at the same time.
You can guess what happens. Elizabeth couldn't see Ivan initially but eventually she did. First time was when she needed him. And that sparked off a beautiful relationship between the two of them. Ivan taught Elizabeth how to have fun and they fell in love. However, this love, like love sometimes, cannot be fulfilled because of reasons that we cannot comprehend.
Also, because of Ivan, Elizabeth could face her childhood and finally reunites with her father. A gap so wide that the longest bridge in this world cannot even hope to bridge. She also started expanding her social life and accepting people into her heart.
I cried while reading the book. No shame. It's so touching. First when Opal's lover died, and his last moment was to reach out to wipe her tears away. Second when I found out about her mother's real behavior and many times after that. And it brings tears to my eyes when I think about the book.
Thanks to Iris for lending me this book.
