The Book of Tomorrow - Book Review and Giveaway! {CLOSED}

THE BOOK OF TOMORROW is the story of sixteen-year-old Tamara Goodwin, a wealthy girl whose world is turned upside down when her father dies and leaves behind nothing but bitter memories and debts. Forced to sell everything they have, she and her mother move to the country where it is hard to embrace a lifestyle completely alien from the ultra-posh life they have enjoyed in the city. Bored and lonely, Tamara visits a traveling library, where she discovers a strange leather-bound book. When she pries open its locked, golden clasp, she finds something unimaginable: diary entries written in her own hand, dated the next day. When the events of the following day mirror those predicted by the diary, Tamara decides to use this fantastic book to her advantage. But as she sets out to unravel family mysteries using the magic of the book of tomorrow, she discovers that some secrets are perhaps better left concealed.

In addition to P.S. I Love You, written when she was twenty-one, Ahern is the author of Love, Rosie; If You Could See Me Now; There’s No Place Like Here; Thanks for the Memories; and The Gift, which have collectively sold more than 11 million copies worldwide. The daughter of Ireland ’s former prime minister, she lives in Dublin .

The critics in the UK , where the book was an instant #1 bestseller agree, “Ahern provides magic in spades,” says The Guardian. THE BOOK OF TOMORROW is a “magical, absorbing tale,” echoes Closer magazine.

My Review: I absolutely loved this book. This is not like her chic-lit book, P.S. I Love You (and I love chic-lit). The hardest thing with this book for me was to put it down. I was up too late too many nights reading this book! I was completely pulled into the story. I think the best way to describe this book is a “magic-infused suspense novel.” It is filled with twists and turns that had me wanting more.

The main character, Tamara, is a spoiled brat whose father commits suicide. Tamara and her mother are forced to move to the country and live with her Uncle Artie and Aunt Rosaleen. The people that enter her life through the book and the lessons she learns just keeps you wanting more. Tamara soon realizes that she is responsible for her actions and learns some very valuable lessons. My favorite character that she meets is Sister Ignatius. I wish I knew someone like her in my life.
