Dear John - Nicholas Sparks

Dear John - Nicholas Sparks

The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost. 
                                                                           -G. K. Chesterton

Nicholas Spark has a magic of reaching out to his readers. His characters deeply touch the readers and they remain with you even after finishing the book. As always, Nicholas Spark has a message about love, about relationships… From the title itself we know that John is the hero of this story… In all love stories, the hero gets the heroine… But not in this one… Nicholas sends out a very important message – “Love means that you care for another person's happiness more than your own, no matter how painful the choices you face might be”.

Airhead Runaway - Meg Cabot

Airhead Runaway - Meg Cabot

The third in the Airhead series. Today when much has been achieved by Science, there is always an ethical side to each discovery… Will the technology be used for the good of mankind or will it be misused? Meg Cabot has explored one such development – Organ Transplantation.

Em Watts (in the body of Nikki Howards) have to tolerate Brandon Stark so that she can keep the real Nikki Howard and her family safe from the hands of Robert Stark. In the meantime, none of her family or her boyfriend understands her. When she discovers the real motive of Stark Enterprises, horror grips her. The book then explores how Em Watts & her friends trap Robert Stark. 

The book was not as interesting as the previous one. It did not motivate me to finish reading the book. 

I've Got Your Number - Sophie Kinsella

I've Got Your Number - Sophie Kinsella

Must say, another awesome book by Sophie. The idea and background is so novel and bizzare at the same time. A story about how two absolute strangers meet and share a phone and in the process helps each other in their lives. Poppy Wyatt loses her engagement ring and while asking people to search it for her, she gets mugged off her phone. Her phone- the one thing she cannot live without. Bereaved off her phone, Poppy (losing all ethical values ) finds a phone in the dustbin which she keeps for herself. But Sam Roxton thinks he should get the phone back. (The phone belonged to his PA before she quit her job and dumped the phone in the dustbin. But Poppy feeling that the phone is the only way to find her ring, requests Sam to let her keep it and in return forward all messages and emails received on the phone for Sam. Juggling between all the message forwarding and her wedding preparations, Poppy is all in for a surprise. The book is not as funny as the Shopaholic Series, but it definitely manages to keep you hooked. My rating for this book would be 9.5 on a scale of 10..

Airhead - Being Nikki by Meg Cabot

Airhead - Being Nikki

           Unfortunately I read the second book of the airhead series first. But still no damage done, since the book explains the background (not so much in detail, but sufficient enough to understand the story.)

            A total science fiction!!!!!!  Otherwise how can you explain after the brain transplant of Em into the body of a supermodel Nikki, the brain wanting something and the body responding to certain stimulations differently?? Isn’t the body controlled by the brain????? But still, one has to give credit to Meg Cabot for coming up with such an idea…… She has wonderfully captured the conflicts and emotions of Em Watts (a zero fashion sense girl with a strong hatred for corporate giants destroying the environment) can be faces inside a supermodel's body - Nikki's who didn't care about anyone else other than herself and her looks.

           Like most books by Meg Cabot, this one is also very interesting and keeps you entertained throughout. You just cannot stop reading the book.Waiting to start with the third one in this series!! (Definitely not going back to read the first book which I missed) :D

Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella

Twenties Girl

The main character, Lara Lington is shocked and surprised when she can see her great- aunt Sadie at her funeral after she died at an age of 105 years. Lara feels her burdening personal problems have caused her to become crazy as a result of which she can see and talk to ghosts or rather one particular ghost!

Sadie has only 1 request from her great niece: to find a lost necklace with the dragonfly pendant, which was in her possession for more than 75 years and without which she cannot rest in peace. During the time period when Lara hunts for the necklace, they both become best of friends. Sadie (or rather the ghost of Sadie) is not a 100 year old granny, but a strong minded girl from the “Twenties” (1920s) with a sense of fashion which she forces upon Lara during her dates with Mr. Right.

Lara helps Sadie discover that the only person she loved in her lifetime also loved her back with the same passion. In return, Sadie helps Lara and Mr. Right to be united in love (though Sadie initially intended him to be her boyfriend).

In the end, after finding the lost necklace, Sadie finally rests in peace, but before she goes she literally fixes up Lara’s messed life

Twenties girl has been written with the same charm and humor that Sophie Kinsella is famous for. After reading the book, I really wished I too had a fairy (ghost) friend with whom you can share all your deepest secrets and one who can understand you very well. All in all, a very good read J
