Summary…
Everyone has a
story to tell…
Journalist Kitty
Logan’s career has been destroyed by scandal, and she now faces losing the
woman who guided her and taught her everything she knew. At her mentor’s
bedside, Kitty asks her – what is the one story she always wanted to write?
The answer lies
in a file buried in Constance’s office: a list of one hundred names. There is
no synopsis, no explanation, nothing else to explain what the story is or who
these people are. The list is simply a mystery.
But before Kitty
can talk to her friend, it is too late.
With everything
to prove, Kitty is assigned the most important task of her life – to write the
story her mentor never had the opportunity to. Kitty has to not only track down
and meet the people on the list, but find out what connects them. And, in the
process of hearing ordinary people’s stories, she uncovers Constance’s – and
starts to understand her own…
My thoughts…
I am a huge fan of Cecelia Ahern and have been ever since
PS I Love You. Everytime I see a new book coming out I clear my schedule and
prepare to immerse myself into Cecelia’s world. One Hundred Names, I am pleased
to say, did not disappoint me at all.
One Hundred Names is typically Cecelia, a beautifully
charming, witty, uplifting, and enchanting story full of twists and turns and
wonderfully diverse characters. The story takes you on a journey with Kitty
Logan, a shamed journalist that has been left with no job, no credibility and
no boyfriend. To top it all off, the one person who believed in her and her
best friend and mentor passes away from Cancer leaving her feeling like she has
no one to turn to.
One of Kitty’s last conversations with Constance was
about a story that she never got to write, so when she passes Kitty takes it
upon herself to do what Constance couldn’t. With a list on 100 names and no
clue who they are, how to find them or what their stories are – Kitty begins
her life changing journey She not only discovers the meaning of Constance’s
final story, but she also discovers who she really is and finds her place in
life.
Every book that Cecelia writes is almost a fairy tale
story for adults, she somehow manages to sweep her readers off their feet and whisk
them away into her magical little land. One Hundred Names does just this as the
story takes to you places to meet people that are so unique and special but so
real at the same time.
This is a must read book that I cannot recommend highly
enough. If you want to escape then this is the book for you.
