LoveReading Says
A family tale of sadness and sacrifice, of a child who ‘invents’ an invisible friend with interesting repercussions. I don’t want to tell you much more for fear of spoiling this unusual, sensitive and lovely book. She is such a clever author, you’ve got to read her, especially her first novel, PS I Love You.

If You Could See Me Now Synopsis
Everything in Elizabeth Egan’s life has its place, from the espresso cups in her gleaming kitchen to the swatches and paint pots of her interior design business. Order and precision keep life under control – and Elizabeth’s heart from the pain and hurt she has suffered in the past.
The only cloud on the horizon is her sister Saoirse, a red-haired whirlwind always leaving behind pieces which Elizabeth struggles to pick up – including her six-year-old son Luke. Being a reluctant mother while trying to keep her business on track is a full-time job, one which leaves little room for error – or fun.
Until, one day, a stranger unexpectedly comes into their lives. Ivan is carefree, spontaneous and always looking for adventure – everything that Elizabeth is not. In no time at all, he has crept under her skin and started to change her life in ways she could never have .
She knows barely anything about Ivan - who he is and whether he is everything he seems. And if there is a future for their blossoming relationship…
Full of Cecelia Ahern’s trademark warmth and poignancy, If You Could See Me Now is a love story with heart - and just a little bit of magic…
