can anyone suggest any books...

[missjef]

Which are in similar style to Lovely Bones by Alice Seabold & also Jodi Picoult's books? i love these books, but struggle to find anything similar which i like, so i was wondering if anyone could suggest any good reads.

hello missjef have you tried the time travellers wife?

[loopyc]

you could also try cecilia ahern very different from jodi picoult but still really good p.s i love you is the best and if you could see me now is very good.

Hi loopyc, i was kind of put of time travellers wife because my mum read it and hated it! But maybe i should try it for myself. i will try get hold of cecilia ahern's books too, thanks for the suggestions :-)

I read Lovely Bones and I thought it was brilliant - really different. It made me cry a few times but gives you a slightly different perspective on life for a while don't you think??

Hi missjef, I enjoyed The Little Friend by Donna Tartt which you might like. Also, I Capture The Castle by Dodie Smith is another along similar lines.

You might enjoy Brendan Halpin's "Two of Us", about the orphaned daughter of a lesbian couple who has to go and live with her biological father. Also, his "Long Way Back", about a guy who goes off the rails after the death of his wife.

"This Strange New Life" by Rachel Anderson documents a girl dealing with both her beloved brothers' suffering from ME.

Finally, Brian Strause's "Maybe A Miracle" about a girl in a coma who performs miracles.

Happy reading.

jostar i loved the lovely bones, though it was really upsetting its was really well written i thought.

Yes I have read the Lovely Bones and was moved , have you read a Boy Called It, sadly it is a true story but it certainly stirred up my emotions, well worth the read, written by David Seltzer.

Hi Missjef. You should try time travellers wife, i recommended it to two very different people and they both loved it. Also p.s i love you , and Dorothy Koomson's new one - My Best Friend's Girl thats good. Read that in a few days. Enjoy :0)
