17) Thanks For The Memories by Cecelia Ahern

I've read a couple of Cecelia Ahern novels now, and I'm finding I quite enjoy her writing.  Thanks for the Memories is about two main characters - Irish Joyce and American Justin.  Justin, somewhat against his own will, donates blood during a blood drive at an Irish University where he has been guest lecturing.  Joyce, after a terrible accident, receives a blood transfusion.

Along with that, Joyce receives a batch of memories that are not her own.

Joyce and Justin have a strange connection, and randomly see each other at times in the book, not understanding what role they really play in each other's lives.  The pacing of the story is good, and Joyce's elderly father adds a nice touch of family and humour to the tale.

If you've enjoyed Cecelia's writing as I have, having additionally read PS, I Love You and Where Rainbows End (alternate title: Love, Rosie), I definitely recommend you read Thanks for the Memories.
