PS, I Love You
by Cecelia Ahern
PS, I love you. You made me cry, and giggle a bit but you're no more than an emotional chick lit book. Although there is nothing wrong with chick lit. Its a genre that many people read. I always find chick lits hit and miss for me.
This one was a hit for the most part. I didn't hate everything but I certainly didn't love everything either. I think the reason this book effected me the way it did was because I lost my mother last year and grief is grief no matter who it is. So although I didn't lose a spouse, and the girl didn't lose her mother, losing a loved one is still so so so hard and thus anything that is remotely sad can be related to your grief no matter what.
Take for example her melt down at the library where she needed him but of course couldn't speak to him. That was pretty much me for 90% of my remaining degree course. I needed her but I couldn't find her and I couldn't hear her voice telling me to calm down and it'l be OK. So that part of the book had me sitting in the loo crying my eyes out during work.
I liked the fact that this book made me cry (whoa what?) but I also didn't like the fact it made me cry. I knew it was going to and this is why its taken me so long to read the book and the firm decision from even before I read this book to never watch the film. I do think although I haven't seen Mr Gerald Butler playing the male lead? in the film he was still the person I envisioned rightly or wrongly as the lovely husband sending his wife notes.
Sadly apart from the fact this book effected me personally I didn't love it. Grief books are exactly the opposite of books I want or should read. I'm an emotional person anyway but this just makes everything so much worse. I'm very glad she didn't end up with the first guy she met he was always a little sleazy in my opinion but I'm also very happy she got to be happy even if it was just happy with herself.
Oh and a side noted - THANK THE LORD IT WAS SET IN ANOTHER COUNTRY OTHER THAN AMERICA. PRAISE THE BOOK GODS
