P.S. I Love You
by Cecelia Ahern
I loved, loved, loved the movie and expected to love its source material. When I picked it up, I was intrigued by what extra adventures I could enjoy with Holly and her friends. However, when I started reading it, I realised that not only is it a completely different setting but it's almost a completely different story entirely. It feels purposeless and the characters feel bland and lifeless. Almost as if they're the ideal, apologetic versions of the author's own family and friends.
The base premise of the story is very promising but the delivery is lacklustre. Very little real emotion passes through the pages and it's difficult to empathise with someone as unrealistic as this Holly seems to be. Unrealistic situations and even less realistic people drive a wedge between the reader and the story and detract from the main plot rather than complimenting it.
