P.S. I Love You: Cecelia Ahern

"Holly and Gerry are the kind of perfectly happy married couple that others envy. Then, at the age of thirty, Gerry is diagnosed with a terrible illness. Months after Gerry's death, Holly receives a package of letters that he's left for her, instructing her to perform a series of unexpected tasks. With the help of the letters--and her fun, quick-witted girlfriends abd a raucously endearing family that smothers, loves, and drives her crazy--Holly wobbles, weaves, and jokes her way toward a new life, even larger than the one that she's been forced to leave behind."

I've noticed a trend in my past several reviews. They're all books that have been made into movies!

Anyhow, I saw the last twenty minutes of this movie about a year or two ago (I know...that's cheating...but my aunt and uncle were watching the movie and I was only there to catch the end...still made me sob uncontrollably...) Seeing the movie really made me want to read the book, but I just now actually made the time to get my hands on it and read it. Though the ending was somewhat different from what I remember the movie to be, I loved the book none-the-less.

The characters were fanastic and the story was so unique. It's so difficult not to fall for Gerry and feel for Holly. This book truly shows what love can do. It can overcome death and cripple you, but it can also help you heal from even the keenest of losses. This book is about moving on after lost love and learning to live life to its fullest once you are on your own. I recommend this book to anyone who believes in true love; anyone who's lost someone they held dear in their lives; or someone who needs to get back in touch with what makes life worth living.

I loved this book and will read more from this author in the future.
