Title: P.S I Love You
Author : Cecilia Ahern
This novel, by Cecelia Ahern, is about an Irish widow, Holly, who is going through a hard period in her life. She and her husband, Gerry, had been high school sweethearts and married in their early twenties. When, Gerry, her husband of ten years dies of a brain tumor, Holly goes into shock. She turns to her family and friends for support. However, Gerry knew his death was imminent and that his absence would be hard on his beloved Holly. He wrote her a series of letters that prove to be his final gift to his wife. Starting in March and ending in January, there is one letter per month spanning the year after he died. Each letter is to be opened on the first day of each month in order to help her deal with his death and each letter ends with ' P.S I Love You.'.
Review
This is a tear-jerking, yet passionate story about love that we've all not experienced. This book gives me mixed emotions at all times, always wondering what will happen next. It also made me wish that I knew more about Gerry and that he was alive. There are certain twists and surprises that will hook you onto finishing the book with every interesting chapters and content. The author had portrayed Holly's emotions realistically and i kind of felt it even when i'm not in love, or when my love ones hadn't passed away.
This book is definitely one that will leave you sentimental and amused yet it will touch your mind and heart together. I am not those that is easily moved by such touchy-feely stuff, but i admit at after reading some parts of the book, i felt my heart wrenching.
