I just can't put my finger on it, but something about this book kept me reading but being irritated. It was certainly fluff, but very poorly written fluff. In some ways, I think it minimizes what a widow or widower would be going through that first year. I wanted to like the book because I enjoyed the movie, however, that certainly wasn't the case.
Super cute! :) I liked the book way more than the movie!
As a shameless lover of the movie, I had to read the book that inspired it all. The book was very different, but I liked it, too. I do have to sadly admit, though, that I like the movie a lot better. Maybe that's because I'm not much of a romantic and the movie lets me get all my girly, romantic feelings out within two hours while the book requires me to sit in the romantic drama for a while. Whatever the reason, if you like romances or the movie PS I Love You, go ahead and read the book!
My poor heart. I thought the movie broke my heart, watching my Hollywood crush die.....no. Not even close.

Such a heartwrenching and heartwarming story all at the same time. I must say that I am pissed that they made it into a movie. I guess they get to call the movie, "P.S. I love you" because they keep the main characters name, but I am pretty sure where the similarities end.
I feel that she did a great job of honestly showing what grief is like for those who lose a loved one. Granted I have not lost my spouse, but I have watched those that have lost spouses grieve. However, it portrays hope at the same time. Something that is hard to see when you are in the midst of despair.

Let me begin by saying that this was by no means a bad book. It was an enjoyable read, it just didn't resonate with me so much. People often say that the book is always better, but I've always found that sometimes books were destined to become movies. This is one of those books. The movie just makes me cry like no other, while the book makes me feel basically nothing. There were elements that made no sense to me, like random POVs from minor characters and the wishy-washy "romance" between Holly and Daniel. I'd still read it again though, as it's cute and fun.
