Publisher's summary
How can you know someone you've never met? That's the question haunting Joyce Conway these days. Recovering from a terrible accident and with her marriage in pieces, Joyce is suddenly plagued by an overwhelming sense of déjà vu that makes her feel as if the life she's living is not her own. During the day she has vivid memories of things she's never seen - such as cobblestoned Parisian streets she's never visited - and at night she dreams of a little girl she's sure she's never met.
Joyce is convinced she's lost her mind . . . until a series of coincidences leads her on a journey to meet the one person who may hold the answer she needs.
"Someone's life could be depending on you right now...." That's the pitch that finally persuades Justin Hitchcock to donate blood - the first thing to come straight from his heart in a long time. Restless and lonely, Justin chased his ex-wife and daughter from Chicago to London, and now he's in Dublin, guest-lecturing to bored college students. When he receives a basket of muffins with a thank-you note attached, he's sure someone's playing a joke on him, but then the presents keep coming. Intrigued, Justin is determined to solve the mystery - a quest that will change his life forever.
Thanks for the Memories is a heartwarming story of hope, love, and second chances - Cecelia Ahern's most magical novel yet.

The story begins in 1962. On a rocky patch of the sun-drenched Italian coastline, a young innkeeper, chest-deep in daydreams, looks out over the incandescent waters of the Ligurian Sea and spies an apparition: a tall, thin woman, a vision in white, approaching him on a boat. She is an actress, he soon learns, an American starlet, and she is dying. And the story begins again today, half a world away, when an elderly Italian man shows up on a movie studio's back lot - searching for the mysterious woman he last saw at his hotel decades earlier.

Editorial reviews
Two people are drawn together even though they've never met: Chicago native Justin Hitchcock, who has just followed his daughter and ex-wife to London, and Irishwoman Joyce Conway, who is going through her own tragedy and divorce. As the story progresses, the lives of Joyce and Justin become entwined, with sections of the novel alternating between each character's perspective. At times, Sile Bermingham's narration has little vocal variation, and it's difficult to determine which character is speaking. Bermingham soon settles into a narration that expresses the tension and emotion building between Joyce and Justin, and leads to a satisfying conclusion.

But when her beloved mother, Elizabeth, passes away, Brett’s world is turned upside down. Rather than simply naming her daughter the new CEO of Bohlinger Cosmetics, Elizabeth’s will comes with one big stipulation: Brett must fulfill the list of childhood dreams she made so long ago.

Enjoyable
Read like a movie. This was fun and romantic. I'll be reading more. Performer used more of a queens/Brooklyn accent vs. Chicago but she grew on me. I'm sure it's no worse than Americans doing an Irish accent. Haha. I'll look for more with this reader and by this author.

My favorite story of hers only second to her epic debut book.

Lovely Magical Realism
Cecelia Ahearn's 'Thanks for the Memories' is an easy, sweet listen populated by wonderful characters who will make you laugh out loud. It's a deceptively simple and silly story told with more intelligence, grace and insight than most literary authors.
Don't skip this one!

Not bad...
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Not her best, but not bad. It was a heartwarming story, but the narrator's HORRIBLE American accent left a lot to be desired.
Would you be willing to try another book from Cecelia Ahern? Why or why not?
Of course. Her stories are heartwarming and even inspiring in the case of "Time of Your Life".
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Her American accent was awful and obnoxious.
Did Thanks for the Memories inspire you to do anything?
Live life to the fullest.

Thank God For Audible's Return Policy! Narration=O
I love LOVE Cecelia Ahern and I love the concept of this novel - though I recognize it won't be everyone's cup of tea since a lot of suspension of belief must occur. I stopped listening to the audible version at chapter 4 because the narration is SO bad.
Many others have noted this issue and have sited the author's lisp as part of the problem. The lisp, for me, was not an issue at all. I actually did not mind the lisp. The problem for me was that the narrator's range was not sufficient enough to distinguish one character from another. I was often confused about who was meant to be speaking. This was true for almost all characters with two notable exceptions: the father (his brogue was very recognizable) and any character that was supposed to have an American accent. The narrator just could not pull off an American accent - at all. I would be a minor complaint if there was only a passing American character; sadly, one of the main characters - a male, who I presume will eventually be the love interests of the female lead - is an American. The voice acting she uses for him is like nails on a chalkboard. Not only does the accent not hit the right note, for some reason, she decided to make him whine everything he says? The nasally, comically-bad-American-accented whine was just too much for me.
I plan to pick up the text version and hope I can scrub that whiny voice from my mind.
Thank goodness audible has a great return policy! :D

A wonderful read.
This is a really fun book. Please be warned, if you are going to be in public listening to this book you will laugh out loud multiple times and have a stupid grin on your face the rest of the time. Another delightful book from Aherns, she has a real knack for displaying her characters in such a heartfelt, and realistic fashion. She uses whimsical ideas to get to the core of the deepest emotions of her characters to which every reader can relate. Delightful!
