Het boek leest lekker weg, maar is af en toe ook een beetje langdradig. Het is wel zodanig geschreven dat je wel steeds wil weten wat de volgende opdracht zal zijn. Het heeft zijn grappige, maar ook zijn ontroerende stukjes. Halverwege het boek bedacht ik me, dat het verhaal toch wel heel erg voorspelbaar is, maar toch is het eind net niet wat je ervan verwacht en dat maakt het toch weer een leuk boek.

I read this years ago as a teenager, and loved it and wanted to re-read it to see if it still hit the same. While it was still enjoyable and an emotional read, I wouldn’t say I had the same emotions as I did back then.
I like how the ending isn’t predictable, and the ups and downs holly faces with her grieving journey.

This is a novel about holding on, letting go and learning to love again after you have been heartbroken.
Holly couldn't live without her husband Gerry, until the day that she had to thorough no choice of her own. They were the kind of young couple who couldn't finish each other sentences and when Gerry succumbs to a terminal illness and dies, Holly is set adrift and is struggling to pick up the pieces and rebuild her life. With the help of a series of letters that her husband has written to her before he died and a little nudging from her wide circle of friends and family. She slowly learns how to laugh again, overcome her fears and discovers a new and exciting world that she didn't know existed.
I have read this book so many times i could play the part of Holly. She is just the normal kind of girl who has been with one serious relationship and when this breaks down doesn't have her own identity. I found that i was cheering her on as she goes through all of the stages of grief and how she starts to realise her own identity as a single person. This was my go to book when i split from my ex-husband and must have read it about 10 times in the first 18 months of our breakup. And like Holly i found myself and a new life through letting go.
I would recommend this to anyone who has loved and lost someone.

No lo que estaba esperando. Uno de los pocos libros que puedo decir que la pelicula de una forma u otra es mucho mejor que el libro. Aunque el libro es mas expresivo y tiene mas cosas que cortaron.
I´m happy that I read this book way before the movie came out. Cause compared to the book, the movie is crap.
This is one of the first books I read (when I got over the fase of hating books).
The beginning is so cute, you're happy that they're together and they're all cute but then he dies. And I couldn't stop crying. Cecilia is an amazing writer. And this is her best book yet. The idea someone leaves you letters to move on with your life is so romantic.
I could really relate to Holly throughout the book. And that's a must for a good book.
Everyone I recommended the book fell in love with it.
Don't watch the movie before you read it though! Cause the book is so much better, don't ruin it for yourselves. And if you did watch it. Don't compare the movie to the book. Seperate them from each other. the movie is a random movie and the book is a different book. You'll ruin it if you don't.

Cecelia amazed me again. Used tissues like I did with every book but also had a stomachache from laughing. I really adore her books.
This is the cutes book ever. The movie does it no justice at all. Plus it makes you think, 'if I were in that situation what would make this easier for myself and for those I love?' Plus the language is just makes me smile.
PS, I Love You, takes you through a years worth of grief, laughter, pain, recovery and memories. You will cry and morn the death of Gerry, yet praise the rebirth of Holly. Losing a loved one is something no one can understand until heaven forbid you yourself are put in that situation but with Cecelia Ahern's writing you get as close as your can without truly living through it. 5 tissues for PS I Love You.
