P.S. I Love You by Cecelia Ahern

3.0

I don't quite know how to feel about this book. I saw the movie first and it inspired me to read the book, KNOWING that the book is ALWAYS better than the film. However, this might be the first book I have ever read that paled in comparison to its movie counterpart. The premise itself gets 3 stars because I love the idea of having a connection with someone beyond the grave, but all the magic that was present in the movie, was nowhere to be found in the book. The characters were lifeless and boring, her extended family and friends she refers to in the book serve ABSOLUTELY no purpose at times (probably why they cut them out in the movie). The trip she takes with her girlfriends is just a blip on the radar, no bonding, no "strong women" innuendos, just a trip, nothing more. I guess with the book there were so many lost opportunities that the scriptwriters clearly saw and swiftly made changes to. So this is my FIRST OFFICIAL book I liked less than the movie. Sorry all!
