Summary

The gripping and emotional novel from the million-copy bestselling author of PS, I Love You

She knows your secrets. Now discover hers…

You’ve never met anyone like Alice. She sees the best in people. And the worst. She always seems to know exactly what everyone around her is feeling: a thousand different emotions. Every. Single. Day.

In amongst all that noise, she’s lost herself.

But there’s one person she can’t read. And that’s the person who could change her life.

Is she ready to let him in?

Interesting different book

I liked this book as it was about a woman who could see different colours and energy fields that surround people. It bought a different aspect to the story about how she managed this gift, struggled with it and used it throughout the story of her life.

A really lovely listen

Thought provoking…. We all can’t see colours but if we give ourselves time there is so much more to see…. Loved every minute🥰

The Colour of Love

What a story! C.Ahern has done it again and did not disappoint.

I struggled to understand the concept at first, but as soon as the penny had dropped, I was hooked!

A fantastic story.

Fizzled out 2/3rds of the way thru

Interesting concept and story and a narrator it was easy to like, so I really enjoyed this - until it became obvious that the author had no idea how to finish. So suddenly the time line accelerated at the rate of knots and we zipped thru the last 50 years of the narrators life in a pointless race that totally detracted from her detailed storytelling up to that point. Ruined the book for me.

Powerful, moving, brilliantly narrated.

This is something different. Didn’t want it to end. Keep thinking about it. Need time to absorb this.

Absolutely beautifully written

I thought this was fabulous, it had me from the first chapter, the wonderful way it was written with the ups and downs of life and how colourful that is for the main character was just mind blowing and yet, somehow, recognisable. I loved it. Thank you for such a thought provoking, inspiring and couldn't put it down read

Such a beautiful book

I’ve loved every single one of Cecelia Ahern’s books. However, I had stopped reading for a little while and had fallen behind with her newer releases. This book is so beautiful and raw and ignites your imagination. Everybody should read this book, thank you Cecilia for doing it again.
