Original Rating: 3.5 
 The book tells the story of a spoiled girl, Tamara, who had everything in life: a mansion, designer clothes, expensive gifts, summer holidays to Paris..etc, an almost dreamy lifestyle until her father goes bankrupt, commits suicide, and she and her mom, Jennifer, lose everything and are forced to live with Uncle Arthur, and Aunt Rosaleen. Tamara is all alone, with her mom in catatonia, and her being so far away from home, friends, and the familiar city life she is used. She undergoes a tough grieving process, that alters her forever. She stumbles upon a diary, her own .. from the near future. The story takes a turn when mysteries, she never knew existed, unfold. 
 Cecelia Ahern has a beautiful style of writing, that captivated me from cover to cover. Even though Tamara is intended to be the bratty character you're supposed to hate, I was hooked by her. Her scathing comments, and constant poking fun at herself, other characters, and even the weather (Wot?!) provided a necessary comic relief while gracefully handling thorny topics such as suicide, grief and loss. 
 My enjoyment of Tamara's rambling got me through the slow-paced turn of events, which was still a little bit too slow paced for my liking. Becuase I fully expected the book to be of the "Fantasy" genre and maybe a little bit a "Chick Lit" or "Magical realism" so to speak, I didn't expect it to turn into a mystery whatsoever. 
 This is where the book failed for me; it tried to become lots of things, and amusingly became so but failed to reach the height of my expectations. Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
