Amazon.co.uk Review
Cecelia Ahern's debut novel, PS, I Love You, follows the engaging, witty and occasionally sappy reawakening of Holly, a young Irish widow who must put her life back together after she loses her husband Gerry to a brain tumour. Ahern, the twentysomething daughter of Ireland's Prime Minister, has discovered a clever and original twist to the Moving On After Death concept made famous by novelists and screenwriters alike--Gerry has left Holly a series of letters designed to help her face the year ahead and carry on with her life. As the novel takes readers through the seasons (and through Gerry's monthly directives), we watch as Holly finds a new job, takes a holiday to Spain with her girlfriends, and sorts through her beloved husband's belongings. Accompanying Holly throughout the healing process is a cast of friends and family members who add as much to the novel's success as Holly's own tale of survival. In fact, it is these supporting characters' mini-dramas that make PS, I Love You more than just another superficial tearjerker with the obligatory episode at a karaoke bar. Ahern shows real talent for capturing the essence of an interaction between friends and foes alike; even if Holly's circle of friends does resemble the gang from Bridget Jones a bit too neatly to ignore (her best friend is even called Sharon).

While her style can be at times repetitive and her delivery is occasionally amateurish, Ahern deserves credit for a spirited first effort. If PS, I Love You is any indication of this author's talent, readers have much to look forward to as Ahern matures as a novelist and a storyteller. --Gisele Toueg, Amazon.com

absolutely fantastic
this is the first book i have read in a while but it did not take long to finish everytime i picked it up i could not put it down!! it had me crying at the sadness of it all then laughin out loud!! i would highly recommend this book to anyone have jus lent it to my mum an she says exactly the same she cannot put it down!!

Amazing
I have never cried so much, laughed so much or felt so much sorrow and sympathy while reading a book. One moment I was crying, the next, laughing through my tears. I couldn't put it down. How throughout the whole book it kept relating back to the smallest things was heart renching, especially her life with Gerry. Such a mixture of emotions and such an inspiring book to read. It really brought home how important it is to live life 'one letter at a time'. I'd recommend this book to anyone. Cecelia Ahern is an amazing writer and I cannot wait to start reading another one of her books. Absolutely amazing

Loved it!
I bought it after seeing the film and it is so much better. I couldnt' believe how different it was, the character of Holly was much nicer and Daniel was also completely different to how he was portrayed in the movie. My advice is read the book first before you see the film and you will appreicate the story so much more.
