thank you for the memories by cecelia ahern

    The novel that I have chosen for this month’s review is Thank You For  The Memories by Cecelia Ahern. The story is about a magical connection between Joyce and Justin. Joyce Conway “remembers” things she shouldn’t. She knows about tiny cobbled streets in Paris, which she has never visited. And every night she dreams about an unknown little girl with blonde hair while on the other hand, Justin Hitchcock is divorced. He chases his ex-wife and daughter from Chicago to London and ends up lonely and restless. He arrives in Dublin to give a lecture on art and is persuaded to donate blood. It’s the first thing to come straight from his heart in a long time.     On the other side a blood transfusion saves Joyce Conway’s life. When Joyce leaves hospital after a terrible accident, with her life and her marriage in pieces, she moves back in with her elderly father who is really supportive. She even falls down a flight of stairs and loses her baby which had led her to a big trouble in her marriage life.  A sudden, overwhelming sense of déjà vu has Joyce feeling as if her life is not her own. As she deals with her impending divorce and a miscarriage, Joyce encounters a handsome American, Justin.  They are drawn to each other. The story revolves around the journey that both Joyce and Justin take throughout the book. The magical connection between them has brought them together as they try to figure out this mysterious connection they have for each other when they’ve never properly met. When Joyce and Justin are finally brought together, they realize that their meeting is not just a coincidence, but fate. I do like the ending of the story. How is it possible to know someone you've never met?  But , it is possible in this story where an amazing magical connection happens between  Joyce and Justin through just a blood transfusion .The story ends with a great twist that made me appreciate the story so much more.
