This was a useful corrective to some of the heavier, gloomier works I've been reading lately. The character of Joyce's widowed father is especially dear. It's not too difficult to figure out how this will all end, but the romance and humor along the way are quite enjoyable.
Joyce not only knows more about art and architecture than she ever dreamed existed, but she has developed different tastes and has "memories" of events that seem to be seen through someone else's eyes. There are several more almost-encounters. Each keeps thinking about the other (Joyce's marriage, tenuous in the first place, seems completely pointless without the baby so divorce proceedings are begun) as Joyce recovers and Justin attempts to start dating the doctor who got him to give blood. They meet briefly at the hairdresser's and feel an instantaneous connection. On the way home from the hospital, she suddenly feels she must have a haircut Justin, on the way to the airport, gets the same urge. When she awakens, she discovers a new knowledge of art and architecture. Meanwhile, Joyce Conway has fallen downstairs, lost her long-awaited baby, and received a blood transfusion in a Dublin hospital. He wonders who will get his blood, and rather feels the recipient will owe him unending gratitude. On a guest lecture trip to Dublin, he stumbles into a blood donation lecture and, although he's afraid of needles, does donate a pint. Two years after his divorce, he's still not completely over it. This also puts him near his ex-wife and her new man. Justin Hitchcock, a Chicago art critic and professor, has moved to London to be near his daughter, who's studying ballet. Cecelia Ahern's intelligent romance novels have taken a turn toward "woo-woo" with the last few books, and this one continues that trend.
