I read this way before the film. I remember the day I read this, I was off school sick with tonsillitis so began this in the morning. By the evening, I had completed the book.
I laughed and I cried... A LOT. I loved every second of reading this and even had to pick up a new copy because I read my old one so much that it began to fall apart. Cecelia Ahern has created such a superb and heart-warming story within this book.
This is a fantastic and emotional masterpiece and I cannot wait for the follow up of this story.
I highly recommend the book- but would honestly say the film does not do this masterpiece any justice at all.

Uma história bastante diferente do filme mas não deixar de amar.
É tocante a maneira como Gerry ajudou a Holly a ultrapassar a perda enorme que sofreu.

The thing about this book, and Cecilia Ahern in general, is that she writes her characters and their emotions so well, that you begin to experience what they are going through. Never before has a book had me laughing out loud and crying in the same sitting. I can't wait for the movie -- only hope it lives up to the book.

This was a lovely book. I listened to it as an audiobook, and the experience was delightful. The concept was novel and didn't disappoint. Each letter of Gerry's allows Holly to let go of him and get a grip on herself. The side characters were amazing too. Sharon and Denise are Holly's best friends, and the way they support her throughout was heartwarming. I did feel that points in the plot were slow, boring, and unnecessary, but I loved the book. What I loved even more than the friendships, was the family. All Holly's siblings and her parents had unique, distinct personalities, and they all help change Holly. I found it to be the complete opposite of Lucy from The Time of My Life, a Cecelia Ahern creation. I also admire the way Ahern tackled a subject like death with such ease and honesty. Towards the end, we see a mature and independent Holly, able to deal with awkward conversations about her lost love. I think everyone who has lost someone, or is about to should read this. And even if you aren't in this situation, feel free to give this a read.
P.S.- I read this book a few months after my first personal loss and I didn't know how to feel. Then I found this audiobook, and it felt so much better. Like having a friend who you can relate to in some ways, but mostly, they're just the complete opposite. Thank you so much Cecelia Ahern for this precious read.

I can never say enough about this book. It’s a HEART GRABBER. I read it not long after I became a widow and I understood all the emotions Holly went through.

A book that's very Marian-Keyes-ian in writing style & structure ... very easy to read, slightly transparent plotline, kept my attention well. Read all 400 pages in one night.
