21/10/10 - Maggie O'Farrell - After You'd Gone

An unashamedly romantic tear jerker - what am I doing - my last book as Love Story too. SPOILER ALERT - it was so sad when her lover died - and then she falls into this coma - only surfacing on the very last page. As a boy - I would have to say that it is clearly overly romantic and all this focus on what a perfect couple they are and how pure their love is, is to me little unrealistic. But as Daniel - I did end up enjoying the book OK - I admit it - and shed a few tears.
