Title.   : A Place Called Here 

Author: Cecelia Ahern

📖 

'I was convinced that you couldn't replace what was lost. I insisted on things having to be found.' 

📖 

Sandy shortt is obsessed with missing objects, things as well as people and have an living agenda to get to the bottom of things. The obsession started when her classmate went missing at the age of ten. And at thirty four, she is running an missing persons agency and helping those in need of searching for those loves ones. But things go surreal when she finds herself in a world where all things missing goes including people. There is a whole different planet out there but will she able to find her way back to the real world?

📖

A place called here is my first book of Cecelia Ahern. The book, though looking bulk, is relatively simple to read. Sandy Shortt is a stubborn woman who prefers to be alone in her search for missing people. She loses friends and even family in the process and finally loses herself. The story emphasizes  that people get lost while searching for other things, sometimes by choice and sometimes not. People lose other people when they are not paying close attention. The book puts forth  the point that whatever the situation, people find the way back home by  themselves or with the help of others.

📖

The character details are in depth and relatable. The struggles one faces while losing a loved one is detailed perfectly. 💜 

The idea of a missing people's world is really  interesting and intriguing. That part of the book was narrated in a way that people would like to get lost to witness it atleast once. But not be able to get out of there is the only disadvantage. There are also other interesting aspects in the book like the missing laughter, lost and found in the missing world and so on.

📖

The thing I disliked most about the book is the ending . It's quite anticlimatic and there are no details regarding the fate of the people in the missing world. Will they be able to find their home as emphasized in the book? And there is also a series of How and Why regarding Sandy Shortt that needs answering. 

📖

The book is quite interesting in some parts, emotional in some but also dissapointing in some. If you are a fan of fairy tale like stories and of the existence of parallel universes, A Place called Here is your cup of tea.
