如何坠入爱河

Currently reading a book 'How to Fall in Love' by Cecelia Ahern. (almost at midway mark now) I must admit, thought it was gonna be a chic-flick kinda novel, perhaps largely similar to all other love novels. But this book has the ability to keep me glued to it, even after stopping, I find it easy to connect back to the story when I pick it up and continue reading again.

Here are some excerpts which I love:

1. He was staring at me, a thoughtful look on his face. 'What?' I asked. 'Rose petal,' he said simply. 'I love rose petal.' 'And the chocolate would be in the shape of a petal.' 'You're good,' I acknowledged. 'All the more reason for me to keep you alive.' 'You mean there's more than one reason?' he joked, and closed the door. Yes, I thought to myself as I watched him make his way around the car.

2. 'Where would we be without tomorrows? What we'd have instead would be todays. And if that was the case, with you, I'd hope for the longest day for today. I'd fill with you, doing everything I've ever loved. I'd laugh, I'd talk, I'd listen and learn, I'd love, I'd love, I'd love. I'd make every day today and spend them all with you, and I'd never worry about tomorrow, when I wouldn't be with you. And when that dreaded tomorrow comes for us, please know that I didn't want to leave you, or be left behind, that every single moment spent with you were the best times in my life.'

Superb writing I must say. Using the simplest of words but yet constructing such beautiful sentences that manages to touch hearts. <3
