Ratings and reviews

From beginning to end, this story tugged at my heartstrings as one barrier after another stood in Rosie and Alex's way. Many a manly tear was shed. If we can take one lesson from "Love, Rosie", it should be to make the most of our time on this Earth before time slips away. Our dreams could be within arms reach if we just try to stretch.

If one is properly invested this book can turn into an emotional roller coaster. That being said it just didn't feel as awesome as it should've. I think by the end I was just tired of the "when will they both say it" suspense. You knew Rosie and Alex would get together the question was when.

Love, Rosie was missing something for me. Rosie never lived....she never reached for what was right in front of her. Yes she loved...she loved well and selflessly, but she should have taken her parents example when they sold their home and went traveling the world instead of letting Rosie stop them they asked more of her....why didn't she ask more from those she loved. That is when those you love can shine.
