Summary: Where Rainbows End is the amusing story of Alex and Rosie, best friends who grow up together in Ireland and stay close throughout cross-continental moves, marriages, parenthood, family dramas. and professional triumphs. Friends for close to 50 years, the potential for romance between the pair is always under the surface, yet never seems to find the right time or place to become a reality.

Review: A novel written entirely through e-mails, letters and chat logs. It's fairly good, but suffers from two drawbacks. First of all, it's the second book I've read by an author where I LOVED the first, and therefore didn't quite live up to my expectations. Secondly it's one of those books where you get SO frustrated with the two main characters, because they just down settle down and TALK already!

Still, Cecelia is a good writer, and despite the second item being one of my biggest pet peeves in books, she actually managed to make it acceptable to me, because there was so much in the rest of the book, that you didn't just sit around, waiting for the ending to make "everything right". Probably not a book that will end up as one of my favourites, but it was a good way to spend a lazy vacation day.
