Possibly the book that gave me 2nights of nightmares.... hahaha... just kidding! Although that dream is still a mystery.... Oooppsss... I meant NIGHTMARE!!!! This book landed on my Top 3 list!!! Next to: Jahnna N. Malcom's Mixed Messages and Cecilia Ahern's Where Rainbows End..... OMG!!! I totally forgot all about Paolo Coehlo's BRIDA!!!
The book is brilliant!!! I mean, I know Sam and Poppy will end up together..... It would have been better though if Magnus did fight for her instead of lying, cheating, and having the jits... hahaha..... I'm usually into tearjerker ending not much into the happy-ending stories... Well I can tolerate semi-happy-endings... u know, the mixed emotions ending..... A perfect example would be "If u could see me now" still by Sophie Kinsella... It ended quite tragically, having the imaginary friend/lover disappear... though I love the movie "Sundays at Tifanny's" which had a not-so-close plot but more of my kind of story....
I have to admit, I love the twists.... especially the gold twisted ring thing.... well it somehow popped into my mind while reading,,, and while I was reading I was like "Pls... noo.... nooo... not a ring from his tag party" and YES! it was!!! sucks!! then the whole wedding thing... didn't expect Sam to phone Poppy's wedding planner and text everyone..... The ending was just,, must admit,, typical.. yet it had a twist... something that made it not so typical which I can't seem to figure out what,, maybe the way she writes,, or because of the phone.... and I find the "want some coffee?" part totally charming!! And oh... totally love how she played with Wanda's character....
Of course it does not keep me from picturing something what I'd like to happen.... like say for example.... I thought since SAM cannot contact Poppy anymore he'll sweep her off her feet at the wedding by "STOP THIS F*CKING WEDDING!!!! POPPY DON'T MARRY HIM!!! YOU DESERVE FAR BETTER!!!!" and will have this looooooooonnnnggg speech about how they met and how he made her feel and can't stop thinking about her and there goes the BIG CONFESSION : "POPPY I LOVE YOU!!!!" then the 200 people will be confused, mortified, happy... whatever.... then poppy will say "I'm sorry MAGNUS.... SAM I LOVE YOU!!!" then the cliche hugging and carrying and twirling and kissing.... then her two brothers will work out the plan... sam and poppy will take the train to paris and live happily ever after!!! hahahaha..... ok! so much for me not wanting happy endings... idk... but there's something about the heroine which made me want to want a happy ending for her....
"Having a big brain is like having a big liver or a big nose. Why do you feel insecure? What if he had a huge lower intestine? Would you feel insecure then?”
“Lover? I don’t know. I don’t know if she loves me. I don’t know if I love her.All I can say is, she’s the one I think about. All the time she's the voice I want to hear. She's the face I hope to see. and I'll be standing outside the church"
"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
":)"
"HI" -----> Apparently were the shortest words,, or not even words... but had the deepest and greatest impact!!! Sometimes words just aren't enough for certain situations!!! the "xxxxxx" the ":)" and "HI" says it all ^_^
"CUP OF COFFEE??" one of my fave too... WILL SOMEONE OFFER ME SOME COFFEE!!!!!!! hahahahahaha
