Pleasant, cosy read. The writing was slightly dull and annoying at times, but very easy to read. It is entirely different from the film, which was slightly disappointing, but not a deal breaker. In the end I think I enjoyed the film more than the book, though I can see myself coming back to the novel at some point in the future.

One of the rare cases where I preferred the movie to the book - couldn’t handle that Holly is actually Irish in the book because it changes everything! Found it a bit slow and I didn’t feel it picked up much at all but a nice heartfelt and easy read.
Despite loving reading and going to the movies, I am not a big fan of books being made into movies (and vice versa). Something is always missed out, something is always added and rarely do the characters look how you pictured them.
That being said, "PS, I Love You" by Cecelia Ahern is like the movie in that both are ok. Nice. Pleasant. (Just not gripping and unexpected).
There is the obligatory tugging on heart-strings and journey the main character takes.
It's both better in bits and worse in parts than the movie counterpart. Pleasant enough read.

A tear jerker, but the lovely landscape of Ireland pulls you in. Best read when you are in love ;)
Also, I read it after watching the movie. So, maybe, I liked it because of Gerard Butler :D

This book was OK. I am fully aware that my opinion of this book is bias and somewhat unfair to the books itself, but I can't undo the fact that I watched the movie before I read this novel. In fact, I love this movie and watched it several times (before I even knew that the book existed). Despite that, I was excited to finally read it. However, I was disappointed. First of all, my brain simply couldn't wrap around the fact that the book takes place in Ireland. Second of all, despite it being centered around a very heavy subject of grieving, I found this book somewhat immature.
I was loving this book right until the ending. Yes some parts are badly written and it jumped a bit too much but it was an entertaining read. What the hell was that ending about though? Why bother having Daniel mentioned so much if he will just go back to someone who is clearly vile? Nothing is mentioned of Sharon’s baby or Denise’s married life. Just an awful ending which read like she hit word limit and made it live too early. I’m so disappointed
