(Salt-N-Pepa’s perky “Push It” plays while Collins’ character, Rosie, is giving birth. But for every delicate element there are many others that are heavy-handed or cringe-inducing, including some painfully on-the-nose musical selections. You should be with someone who can make you happy, really happy, dancing-on-air happy.Director Christian Ditter offers some artful touches in adapting Cecelia Ahern’s novel “Where Rainbows End.” The lighting is often quite lovely, for example-streaks of late-afternoon sunshine in a park, or lamplight filling a darkened bedroom. You need someone who will treat you with respect, love every part of you, especially your flaws. You need someone who can help you reach your dreams and who can protect you from your fears. You deserve someone who loves you with every single beat of his heart, someone who thinks about you constantly, someone who spends every minute of every day just wondering what you’re doing, where you are, who you’re with and if you’re OK. ‘ is the luckiest man in the world to have you, Rosie, but he doesn’t deserve you and you deserve far better. I might have to go and reread this book now. She’s one of my favorite female characters and I love her wit and sass in this novel. Honestly though, Rosie is a character you should get to know.

The movie itself isn’t bad but they did have to remove a lot of the story in order to shorten the film and although some may argue the shortening of the film is better than the long winded romance we’re given in the novel, I for one loved seeing Rosie and Alex take two steps forward and one step back (multiple times) in their relationship in the novel.

Just as most books these days there is a movie version of the novel but I do advise reading the book first if you’re going to see the movie. I loved watching Rosie grow from a young child to a reckless teen to a precarious young adult to a semi-wise grown up. My heart broke for Rosie multiple times in this book and of course she made many mistakes but at her core Rosie is a genuinely loving and caring person that often put other people’s needs before her own. She doesn’t quit when things get hard and does everything she can to keep moving forward even when every obstacle seems to be standing in her way. She has a bit of a rough go of it during her life but she makes it work.

I specifically chose Rosie as my WCW because not only is she hilarious she’s also a very strong character. The story follows the WCW of the day, Rosie Dunne, and her best friend, Alex, through their lives of missed opportunities, complete misunderstandings, and tells a tale of love and loss all told through emails, letters, and IMs. If you haven’t read Love, Rosie(or Where The Rainbows End) please do so immediately.
