Cecelia Ahern's debut novel, PS, I Love You, follows the engaging, witty, and occasionally sappy reawakening of Holly, a young Irish widow who must put her life back together after she loses her husband Gerry to a brain tumor. Ahern, the twentysomething daughter of Ireland's prime minister, has discovered a clever and original twist to the Moving On After Death concept made famous by novelists and screenwriters alike--Gerry has left Holly a series of letters designed to help her face the year ahead and carry on with her life. As the novel takes readers through the seasons (and through Gerry's monthly directives), we watch as Holly finds a new job, takes a holiday to Spain with her girlfriends, and sorts through her beloved husband's belongings. Accompanying Holly throughout the healing process is a cast of friends and family members who add as much to the novel's success as Holly's own tale of survival. In fact, it is these supporting character's mini-dramas that make PS, I Love You more than just another superficial tearjerker with the obligatory episode at a karaoke bar. Ahern shows real talent for capturing the essence of an interaction between friends and foes alike; even if Holly's circle of friends does resemble the gang from Bridget Jones a bit too neatly to ignore (her best friend is even called Sharon).

I downloaded the movie, and I started watching it, and I just didn't like it, I could not get into it at all, maybe it was because of the extremely bad quality but then I got interupted and had to stop watching and I don't have the inclination to start it up again! Maybe I'll get the book, and read it first.

I finished the book today, and cried at the ending. The last letter was so lovely!!!!!
I also watched the film tonight, and i didn't like it! They missed so much out, cut characters out and changed a few names, plus they added another character into it lmao, I didn't feel her sadness as much as i did reading the book.
But if you do read the book its worth watching. You will appreciate the book a lot more, trust me!
