Thanks for the memories - Cecelia Ahern

I've just finish reading probably one of the most awesome book ever. (Well, to me anyways :P)
Here's the synopsis:
How can you know someone you’ve never met?

Joyce Conway remembers things she shouldn’t. She knows about tiny cobbled streets in Paris, which she has never visited. And every night she dreams about an unknown little girl with blonde hair.

Justin Hitchcock is divorced, lonely and restless. He arrives in Dublin to give a lecture on art and meets an attractive doctor, who persuades him to donate blood. It’s the first thing to come straight from his heart in a long time.

When Joyce leaves hospital after a terrible accident, with her life and her marriage in pieces, she moves back in with her elderly father. All the while, a strong sense of déjà vu is overwhelming her and she can’t figure out why …

Here's an excerpt from it that i totally love. =)
I'm a medium kind of person. Nothing to excess, nothing not enough. Not obsessed, addicted to anything. I'm neither outgoing nor shy, but a little bit of both, depending on my mood, depending on the occasion. I never overdo anything and enjoy most things i do. I'm seldom bored and barely whine. When i drink i get tipsy but never fall over or get ill. I like my job, i don't love it. I'm pretty not stunning not ugly ; don't expect to much, am never too disappointed.
I'm never overwhelmed or under it either ; just nicely whelmed. I'm OK. Nothing spectacular but sometimes special. I look in the mirror and see this medium average person. A little sad, a little tired but not falling apart. I look to the man beside me and i see the same.

And i really love the awesome ending. <33
