If Only It Were True

This book was a delightful fun light read

Story caught my I interest from page one but found the ending disappointing. Felt there were several things left untold.

I loved this story! Amazing characters! So much better than the movie!Thank you so much for your wonderful stories! I can never get enough!

Marc Levy is an amazing writer. This is the third of his books I’ve read. Each one is so different. But all of them hold you, enthralled with the lives of the characters for the time you share them, are immersed in them. This was such a heart-aching, heart-warming love story. If only it were true.

I like this fable set in the cities of San Francisco and Carmel. Must believe in fairytales to read this book.

Some authors innately have it, the right touch, an ambiance that immediately grabs the reader. He describes deep, meaningful love so genuinely well, along with telling a story that keeps readers turning the pages, guessing which ending hell choose. I look forward to reading more of Levys books, and have already started another of his novels. The way he drew his protagonist, an extension of himself I could tell, prompted me to google him. The interview (with photos) confirmed everything I garnered about his personality through his character Arthur. Levy is a renaissance man, a kind, interesting and well-informed man of the world. A kindly, good man. They type that are difficult to find. A person of good karma, and therefore, I am even happier to learn of his success. I look forward to reading all of his books. Thank you Marc Levy for wonderful entertainment and intelligent, interesting reading. P.S. I just read Publishers Weeklys review, above. Apparently your reviewer was skimming the novel. The female love interest was not a nurse - she was a resident doctor. Also, the reviewer stated Levy has no ear for American speech, I thoroughly disagree with that assessment. Hes as fluid in understanding American nuance as I. I suggest Publishers Weekly keep checking that reviewers work. It needs a great deal of polishing. (And no, I do not know Levy personally.)

I understand this is the authors first book, so I can overlook the need for better editing. I did enjoy the story, as it was slightly different than the movie, Just Like Heaven, which I loved and bought on DVD years ago. The story dragged in places, so it wasnt a total page turner for me. It took me a long time to read it through as I read a few pages at a time. I thought the plot was imaginative and different, the characters were well thought out and written. Its a good first book. I have another book by this author so Im looking forward to seeing an improvement in his writing and editing.

This is a story that reminds all of us to slow down and appreciate lifes small and ordinary moments, to take the time to enjoy all that we miss as we take care of all the need to do things in our busy lives. I highly recommend it!

He is a wonderful and imaginative writer of fanciful fiction. This was his 1st book and I think others are even better.

A fanciful story but worth believing and a great escape. Readers who enjoy romance fiction will like this. Read in one afternoon and evening!
