P.S. I Love You (P.S. I Love You, #1) in Ultimate Popsugar Reading Challenge

Aug 14, 2012 Angie rated it really liked it

Re-read in March 2020 in preparation for reading Ahern's latest release, Postscript, which is a follow up to PS I Love You! I remembered the general idea of PS I Love You from my previous reading of it in 2014, but I really enjoyed revisiting the characters and story. I stand by my original review - very genuine, real-life, real-emotion feel. Happy to have re-read it!

Another lovely Cecilia Ahern read. Great characters. Touching story. Tiny bit anti-climatic, but a novel with ...more

Picked this up because I enjoyed the movie adaptation so much, and, well -- I'm glad I saw the movie first, because I wouldn't have gone to see based on this book. I mean, it was fine. The premise is engaging -- dead man helping his grieving wife to move on with her life through a series of letters he left for her -- but the writing was just so painfully purple that I nearly chucked it across the room a couple of times.

I never thought I'd find myself saying this, but: go see the movie and skip t ...more

I enjoyed this book, but found seeing the movie first took away so much of the "discovery" for me. Normally, I'm fine with seeing a movie first then reading the book... it's not ideal, but I'm fine with it. But with P.S. I Love You, I found the book lost some spark with it.

I found the story to be very emotional, it did make me tear up often, and many times I quickly grabbed my husband's hand while reading how Holly missed Gerry.

All in all, it was a good read. I would recommend it to others.

I loved it. I didn't expect to like it, but I really did. There were parts that were similar to that of the movie, but I actually found the book to be actually more engaging than that of the movie, as the book went more indepth. Beautiful book :) ...more

I couldn't get into this book. I liked the movie version, and I couldn't get the movie out of my head when I was trying to read the book. I liked the changes made for the movie at least as far as I made it in th book. ...more

A bit of a downer - I must admit. I loved that this book was set in Dublin but I found it quite sad and it didn't really let up. The ending wasn't too great either BUT a good debut from a young author. ...more

I saw the movie and then read the book, took me till half way through to realise I had read it before, about 3 years earlier! Still enjoyed it though and love the movie!
