I love it!!!!!!
This book is fantastic! (imo) It's a wonderful book about friendship and love. About 'best friends' and 'soul mates'. I fell in love with the characters of this book and I found it so hard to put down. I just wanted to read read read!!!
When the book finished, I felt sad because I enjoyed it so much and wanted to stay in their lives.
I liked the way this book was set out, the whole book was set in email and snail mail form, so each page was a conversation one was having with another. It reminded me of the movie 'You've got Mail'.
I highly recommed this book to anyone who loves to read chick lits. I am even thinking some guys may like this book after all the two best friends are male and female, it is about their bond. It was so enjoyable.
10/10

Oh I loved it Clare, and I read that they're making her 'PS, I love you' (not read that one) into a movie. :D

I thought Rainbows End was fantastic, PS I Love You was quite sad, The True and Outstanding Adventures of the Hunt Sisters was a similar (and IMO better) take on a similar idea! Sort of!

I liked this book a lot, so much, in fact, I read it all in one day. The characters were almost like your own best friends and the way the book was written was brilliant. I loved the backwards and forwards letters/emails/texts. Fantastic.

I just found this one IMDB, it's not Rainbows, it's PS I Love You, being made into a film. Has quite a few high profile names in there too.

I just read Where rainbows end a week ago.
I was stuck on a busride for 2 days and this book was perfect for that. Easy to read (I'm german and reading books in english is mostly quite a challenge), funny and just something that made the bus ride seem less long.
Neverthelees it's a book I wouldn't buy to keep. I got it at a second hand bookshop and put it in exchanging shelf at the hostel when I was finished.

I read this book a few months ago and loved it. I love the way it's told though letters and emails etc. I don't like books where the text is too blocky and samey. So this was perfect to me.

I read this a while ago and enjoyed it as a quick light read. The only thing I couldn't get my head round was when it was set, as it follows a relationship over 30 years, but none of the technology changed. The couple were IM/emailing in their teens, but still doing 30 years later. There wasn't email 30 years ago, but if it was started in the present, then surely 30 years in the future how we communicate would changed. Sorry, it bugged me a little.
I had previously tried to read PS I Love You but found that too sentimental and felt like it was trying to hard to pull on the heartstrings it put me off. I gave up on that my the 3rd chapter.
I quite like books that tell the story through letters, emails etc. I can't remember what they are called... Anyone? Another in the same style I've enjoyed in the past were Mag Cabott's Boy books & also Holly's Inbox. They are great for when you need some quick, not at all taxing, fluffy but you feel it's tiny bit more substantial than magazine.

I loved this book for its difference. It isn't just happily-ever-after type of book, it has so many ups and downs, so much of life itself, not just some idealistic love story. I haven't read any of Cecilia's other books, so i don't know if it's always her style, but I hope so.. :blush:

I never finished that one either.
As for Where Rainbows End, once I got used to the letters and emailing style of telling the story, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I would say it's one of Ceceilia Ahern's best :D
