PS, I Love You by Cecelia Ahern

'PS, I Love You' by Cecelia Ahern

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, the man who knows Holly 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.

REVIEW

I haven't watched the film like most of my bookclub members, but they all said the book is so much better than the film. I so enjoyed this book, it is a heart warming story of love and loss - I felt as if I was on a journey with the main character Holly's struggle to grieve for her husband. This is a love story of a past love, trying to move on from that love and then looking forward to the future. I found the book hard to put down as I wanted to see how life would work out for Holly. I liked how it wasn't predictable - her new man interest.

Would recommend - a very enjoyable read.
