P.S. I Love You

I think I would have enjoyed this book more had I not seen the movie so many times. I enjoyed it but I feel the movie was adapted too much and I felt like pieces of the book were missing. It was nicely written however and I would probably read it again at some point.

Still love this story! It has sadness, happiness and humour. Not sure how many times I've actually read it but it's one of my favourite books ever!

This is an amazing book with such an emotional rollercoaster....I cried when she read his last letter

DNF. Mierzoet. Saai.

What a lovely book

it was really good! kinda lost me in the middle of the book but the end was so worth it!

This was a sad story but it was mixed with some funny times. Holly is a new widow since her husband recently passed away from a brain tumor. This story goes over all the difficulties of coping after such a loss and also with keeping up with friends and family who don't know what to say. She is talking to her mom one day when she reminds her that there is an envelope there for her. Her mother told her it just says “The List” over her name and address and hopes it isn't important because it had been sitting there quit a while. Holly realized it might be from her husband since they had joked about him making her a list to remind her of things. This was enough to get her out of bed and she went to retrieve it to see what it was. It was from her husband and it contained a small sealed envelope for each month after he died. These notes motivated her to get out and do more things instead of staying in bed and crying her eyes out. She lived for the day she could open the next one but also knowing that one day they would be all gone and she would truly be on her own.

3.5 stars

sad books always put me in a funk :(

It isn't a bad book, but I didn't agree with a few things and it is hard to read about someone who is depressed. I wanted to just tell the character everything will be okay, but then I'd think... if I was in that position how would I act? And realized I be the same damn way. With a few things being different.

I'd probably recommend it to some romance, contemporary, women'f fic readers.

From chapter one this book had me crying and then laughing then crying again and that was pretty much how in went the whole time I was reading it. It was a little slow paced for me and some of the stuff felt like it was filler. It wasn't necessary for the story so therefore I feel like we could have done without some of the material. I was expecting Holly and Daniel to end up together because they had such great chemistry so I was really disappointed when Daniel ended up back with Laura. Will all of this being said it was still an enjoyable read.

absolutely loved this book! I have learned, over the years, to read a book and then watch the movie if there is one. I can wholeheartedly say that the book completely outweighs the movie. I couldn't even finish the movie, as it seemed to have almost nothing in common with the book. Anyway, the book follows a woman who looses her husband to a brain tumor. Even though he is no longer with her in life, notes that he left behind help her to get through that first year without him and learn to live again. This book is written beautifully, it will make you laugh and cry.

It's emotionally manipulative bathtub reading. I enjoyed it as I read, but I didn't take anything away from it when I was finished, except that I didn't think I'd be buying another Ahern book. Even the movie adaptation was so-so, but at least it had Gerard Butler. The book didn't even have that.

I get that Holly was grieving, and that she was upset – but a book this thick with this many self-pitying crying jags and this much selfish behavior out of the main character just doesn't do it for me. I didn't like Holly at all; nor did I like many of the supporting characters.
