P.S. I Love You by Cecelia Ahern
4.0
I know I've read this before, but I had forgotten how vastly different the movie was from the book. At times I was wishing to see scenes from the movie. I love how Holly and Gerry meet in the movie, and the America/Ireland settings. But I really enjoy the premise of the story, no matter how it was told.
I lost my brother last year, and while that grief is not the same as it would be for a spouse, the highs and lows that Holly experiences are very real. Can I find joy in this moment or am I supposed to be sad? Holly definitely struggles to find that balance, she has moments joy and peace, and sometimes it's startling to see her flip back in a very low place. But it is very real.
The pacing is good, sometimes it feels drawn out, but it feels important that it was. And I think it actually explains a lot of the changes to the movie. So much of Holly's progression was internal.
And I just love that the story ends with an open ended hope. Anything else would have been very forced.
