It's good it's just mostly a sad story.
Probably my favorite book ever. Such a great story - before passing away, the husband of the main character leaves her a series of notes instructing her to do certain things each month. Very uplifting. A "feel-good" book. I didn't want the book to end.
This book was recommended to me by my best friend who said that not a single book has made him cry like this one. I am way more emotional and fragile when it comes to love stories and normally start to cry at the smallest things.
However this book was just horrible. I thought about giving it two stars but then I realized that I almost liked nothing about it.
The writing was a complete disaster as well as the characters who all seemed so flat and weird. I could not get into the story since the letters from Gerry did not seem genuine at all. This is supposed to be a romance but the story as well as the writing does not convey this feeling at all.
I was getting kind of into this little thing between Daniel & Holly but the writing just kills it for me...

One word... DISASTER. This book was a complete and utter disaster!!!! There are so many flaws and plot holes in this book , I am baffled at how it got such great reviews. Either the author had no idea where the book was going or she was didn't actually read it.
I like Cecelia Ahern's writing. Her style is casual and fun - you laugh and cry. I found the story to be too sad for me to really enjoy.
Easy to read, made me well up about 5 times. Gerry was the sweetest. Holly was a little annoying and. Tad selfish at times but who are we to judge how people cope when they lose their soulmate?
However, nearly took a whole other star off for how things ended with Daniel. What a weak character he turned out to be. Didn’t want Holly to get with him but wanted the decision to be hers and not taken out of her hands (I know it was but I wanted to see it follow through).
Lots of people said don’t watch the film. It I’ll be honest I am tempted!

It was a cute, fast read. The movie was far superior, but I enjoyed the book!
Cute little (well not so little) book about a not so easy subject matter. Pretty reasonable depiction of adult female relationships. Will say the ending seemed a wee bit rushed.
