A young architect in San Francisco awakens one day to find a woman in his closet--a woman only he can see, who claims that her body lies in a coma in a hospital across town--and forms a bond with her that leads him to make an extraordinary effort to saveh

If Only It Were True

What do you do when you find a stranger in your closet; particularly when she's surprised that you can even see her -- and she can disappear and reappear at whim? What if she then tells you that her body is actually in a coma on the other side of town? Should you have her see a psychiatrist or should you consult one yourself? Or do you take a chance and believe in her, and allow yourself to be swept up in an extraordinary adventure? This is the beginning of the dilemma that Arthur, a young San Francisco architect, is faced with when he discovers Lauren in his apartment. Arthur is the only man who can share Lauren's secret, the only one who can see her, hear her, and talk to her when no one else so much as senses her presence. So when doctors prepare to end Lauren's physical care -- which would destroy the magical bond she and Arthur cherish -- he must find a way to save her. For, after all, it is only her love that can save him. If Only It Were True is a heartwarming love story impossible to forget, an adventure that is by turns breathtaking and hilarious -- a captivating tale that evokes the essence of romance and our boundless capacity to believe.

Leí este libro cuando tenía 13 o 14 y tengo muy bonitos recuerdos de él. A veces tengo recuerdos de donde leí los libros o en que situación estaba y me gusta eso. Aprendí mucho de este libro sobre escritura, me acuerdo y trucos que aún uso diariamente.

For his first novel, you can tell there was much to improve on plot-wise, but his style of writing just shows he has true potential as a writer, something he goes on to prove with his later novels. Despite having to suspend disbelief at various points throughout the novel, I really enjoyed it! It's a real page turner and the writing is so poetic, beautifully written. He uses the French language to its full beautiful and, at times, philosophical potential making it an enjoyable yet thought provoking read.
