Book Review: PS I Love You (P.S. I Love You #1) by Cecelia Ahern

“Finding someone you love and who loves you back is a wonderful, wonderful feeling. But finding a true soul mate is an even better feeling. A soul mate is someone who understands you like no other, loves you like no other, will be there for you forever, no matter what. They say that nothing lasts forever, but I am a firm believer in the fact that for some, love lives on even after we’re gone.”

Originally published in 2014, PS I Love You by Cecelia Ahern follows newly-widowed Holly who is left devasted after the unthinkable happens. Holly and Gerry were childhood sweethearts, no one could imagine them without each other. Now without Gerry in her life, Holly doesn’t know how to carry on. But Gerry has left her a bundle of notes, one for each of the months after his death, guiding Holly into her new life, each note signed ‘PS, I Love You.’

As the notes are gradually opened, the man who knows Holly better than anyone sets out to teach her that life goes on. With some help from her friends, and her noisy and loving family, Holly finds herself laughing, crying, singing, dancing – and being braver than ever before.
