Before diving into Cecelia Ahern's new sequel, Postscript, discover how Holly's journey began in this New York Times bestseller.
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.

"I thought this was a cute story. There were parts where it was predictable and others I got a little bored. I think the book showed there is more to life even after death and as hard as it may be to cope with, there are always people who will support you and you can continue to live life"

" This book was so sweet and endearing. The ending was not what I was hoping for, but I didn't write it so I can't complain. This book made my tear ducts run dry "
— Dianna, 2/20/2014" I loved this book! I read it before the movie came out - and I was very disappionted by the movie. It does not do this book justice. This book can make you cry, smile, laugh, and be in awe all on a single page. Truly a fantastic book! I recommend it to anyone with a heart :) "
— Stephanie, 2/16/2014" What a beautiful story this was. In some ways I wish my hubby left notes for me to read each month like Holly's husband did for her. If you have not read this book, I would recommend you do, because it is really good. "
— Elaine, 2/9/2014" I got to see a preview of the movie based on this book, and it made me want to read the book. The movie is very different to the book, but I love them both in different ways. The book is funny, sweet, sad and inspiring. "
— Rebekka, 2/6/2014" I read the book before I saw the movie. When they say don't judge a book by it's movie, this should be don't judge the movie by the book. It was "ok" but no something that I would read again. Although, Butler made me want to trade my Irish American husband in for a REAL Irishmen! "
— Vonda, 2/4/2014" I read this book recently and I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT! "
— Orchid, 1/29/2014" I have to admit, I was sincerely disappointed after reading P.S I Love You by Cecelia Ahern. I was expecting the plot to be exactly as the movie had been... but it wasn't even close. From Gerry and Holly falling in love over the years, knowing each other since they were children, to Daniel owning his own bar, and Holly's parents still together. What really made me upset was the fact that Holly received all of the letters in one big envelope. In the movie she receives them in the mail, due to her mother. The story-line, I felt, was much more riveting and exciting in the movie. I did love the added detail and the emotional feelings of Holly, as well as those closest to her.. but I feel as if they didn't focus enough on the story of Gerry and Holly, and instead added stories of her brothers, her sister, and her friends. I mean try and read it, but try not comparing it to the movie if you've already seen it [if you haven't seen it you should!]. "

— Heather, 10/23/2012" Its beautiful and I found myself moved deeply! "
— Beena, 10/18/2012" Just trash really, and terribly, terribly written. I don't say that about many books but this was recommended to me by a few people so I gave it a go and it was just....awful. "
— Hannah, 6/14/2012" I could read this book over and over again! "
— Kelsey, 1/10/2012" I watched the movie first and have to say I preferred the movie, sorry Cecelia... "
— Raychael, 9/26/2007" A heartwarming book that broke the mold. If you've only seen the movie you owe it to yourself to read the book. A book that makes you feel. "
— Joanna, 9/13/2006" So sad yet also amusing and awesome! It made me laugh and cry! Loved it and should be read by all! "
— Megan, 3/21/2006" Good, but hard to get into, quit slow, very depressing! "
