After a few days, you even forget you read it. That doesn't mean that Levy has written a highly original story, with his very own style, which I admired. (  ) emhromp2 | Mar 22, 2009 | A comatose woman materializes as a ghost in her old apartment, charming its current resident.. You're always aware that this is a fairy-tale, but it manages to captivate nonetheless. ( ) ennie | Jan 2, 2009 | So very average. One of the few exceptions where the movie far exceeds the book. Although not great, it was okay up until the police investigation when it really went to pot. The dialogue was dripping in police cliches. This book was average at best.

| Book description |
|
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.

Lying in the bath in his new apartment, Arthur, a young architect, is understandably surprised when he hears fingers clicking to the sound of the music from his radio. Tracing the noise to a closet, he finds an attractive young woman hiding and, assuming she is part of a practical joke, asks her to leave.
But Lauren, stunned to discover that Arthur can see her, reveals the extraordinary truth. Six months earlier she was in a car crash; her body now lies in a coma. Initially sceptical, Lauren finally proves to Arthur that what she has said is true. But when the doctors decide to turn off the machines keeping Lauren alive, Arthur must find a way to save her. For its only her love that can save him..... (
