This book tells us a story about Holly, a woman who losts her husband, Gerry, because of brain tumor. Before her husband's death, he sent a list of things to do to Holly's parents and expected Holly to accept them whenever she can bare that.
There are a total of 10 letters in the list. Holly must open it every month. Inside those letters are tasks that Gerry want Holly to do.
I think this book is great. I like the idea, and the author puts so much feelings to this book.

Found the writing style and the characters very childish. Amazed this book got picked up to be made into a film as no-one has any depth. It manages to make you feel nothing - impressive considering the subject matter.

📝 Rezension:
Joa. Ein Buch halt.
War vor zwanzig Jahren vielleicht wahnsinnig bahnbrechend, einer Frau beim Verarbeiten des Verlusts ihres Mannes zuzuschauen. Heute ist’s halt einfach ne nette Story mit romantischen Einschüben, aber nichts, das neu erfunden wurde.
Leider kann ich Holly gar nicht leiden und überhaupt sind gefühlt alle Charaktere einfach richtig eklige high class Menschen, abgesehen davon, dass Diversität einfach komplett fehlt.
Keine Ahnung, war damals wohl einfach normal, dass weiße cis Frauen für weiße cis Frauen schreiben.
Mittelmäßig, hat meine Welt nicht verändert.

What was this book supposed to be? A romance book between a woman and her memories of her dead husband? Gerry's character wasn't fleshed out enough for that. An exploration of grief? The writing was far too shallow for that. So what's left? A book to make you cry? I never felt connected enough to the supposed emotions in the story to get anywhere close to crying, and I'm usually pretty quick to cry at books.
Holly, as our main character, is uninteresting, unintelligent and plain old irritating. She swings wildly from emotion to emotion, which is realistic of grief. However, I never felt the emotions first hand, and just felt like I was being informed of them passively. She changes her mind based on the latest pep talk she's received from a nearby friend or family member, so within 3 paragraphs she's had an entire change of personality, it seems.
The writing is simplistic, and the dialogue is corny, awkward and stilted. The settings are dull, perhaps from lack of any description. The main interest I held throughout the book was in the side characters, and their plots were predictable.
There's just no subtlety to the book. Emotions are stated plainly. Character's motivations are obvious. Holly makes an incredibly unrealistic amount of progress through her grief just for the sake of letting the reader feel closure and like the entire reading experience wasn't a pointless waste of time.

I enjoyed this book. The subject is terrifying and hard to deal with at times, but it is beautifully written. The relationships between the main character and her family and friends are beautifully written and real. You really feel her pain as she goes through the first year without her husband. It seemed real to me.
I was shocked when I researched the author after reading the book to find out that Cecelia Ahern was only 21 when she wrote this.
