So Sad but uplifiting.

P.S. I Love You is a heartwrenchingly sad story, but it is also one of moving on, dealing with grief, and allowing one's self to cry. It is a story telling us that love continues, even through death. Our true loves never really leave us as long as we never forget them.

The Heart Speaks and Romance Lives On...

A touching, heart-warming story of grief, its many stages and how the one you love the most can prepare you for life after they're gone.

Holly and Gerry were high school sweethearts, newly married and very much in love when tragedy strikes and Gerry is diagnosed with a fatal brain tumor. Holly is devastated and doesn't think she can go on until she discovers that Gerry left her a series of 10 envelopes to be opened monthly with instructions on how to go on with her life. Holly is not only faced with finding a life without her beloved husband, but also faces problems dealing with her friends, whose lives also must go on.

I really enjoyed the characters and the steady way that the plot builds. It was so endearing to see the ways in which Gerry's notes helped Holly to be brave and encouraged her to have fun, and to even go shopping!

I appreciated the "voice" that Ahern gives to Gerry - you realize just how much he loved his wife and although he knew their time together was going to be short, he wanted to infuse her with his total devotion and leave that remembrance even after he was gone.

This book reminded me of Anybody Out There? By Marian Keyes, but although they are both Irish-born, their writing styles are different and they tell a very different story based on a similar theme.

I'm looking forward to renting the movie, although I hear it's different than the book, I always find it interesting to see the way "Hollywood" represents a book on film. Cecelia Ahern is truly talented, and I will be reading more from this author.

I Love This Book

P.S. I Love You by Cecelia Ahern

I read this book and I thought it was a good book to read. This is very detail, exciting, and loving story. I recommend this book to people of all ages who likes to read love stories. This book has almost everything a reader could want. I always wanted to know what was going to happen next in the story. Cecelia Ahern, the author of this book, wrote the story with a lot of detail that I could picture myself in the story as I read it. The book had happy moments and sad moments. Sometimes after reading the book I was sad and other times I would laugh because they were some very funny parts. "P.S. I Love You" was sad because one of the characters, Holly, loses her husband Gerry to a brain tumor. He dies at age thirty, but he left Holly a package of letters. After Gerry was gone Holly could feel his presence still with her. She would read the letters and she felt Gerry was at her side. I think Holly was brave because it was so difficult to recover from her husband's death. It was a "true love" novel. The message in the book for me was to start over when a loved one goes away and not be afraid of whom I am. I really enjoyed reading the book because when you start reading it, you don't want to stop. It catches your attention. I really recommend this book because it is very interesting and enjoyable to read.

A wonderfully warm and heartfelt debut from a stunning new talent. Everyone needs a guardian angel...Some people wait their whole lives to find their soul mates. But not Holly and Gerry. Childhood sweethearts, they could finish each other's sentences and even when they fought, they laughed. No one could imagine Holly and Gerry without each other. Until the unthinkable happens. Gerry's death devastates Holly. But as her 30th birthday looms, Gerry comes back to her. He's left her a bundle of notes, one for each of the months after his death, gently guiding Holly into her new life without him, each note signed 'PS, I Love You'. As the notes are gradually opened, and as the year unfolds, Holly is both cheered up and challenged. The man who knows her better than anyone sets out to teach her that life goes on. With some help from her friends, and her noisy and loving family, Holly finds herself laughing, crying, singing, dancing -- and being braver than ever before. Life is for living, she realises -- but it always helps if there's an angel watching over you.
