Search - PS, I Love You

I listened to this book during the 12 hours it took me to drive from West Virginia to Georgia. I loved every moment of it and would spend more time in my car than necessary just to see what would happen. Many times I had to pull my car over just so I could wipe my tears away, as corny as it sounds. I laughed, I cried (a lot), and I loved it way more than the movie. A great read for anyone. The only book I have read from this author, but I definitely plan on adding some others to my growing to be read list.

Cried! Cried and cried and cried! Great, great book!

Instead of bringing one down, upon the loss of a spouse, this book shows how a young woman can grow, with wit, charm and some sadness to learn to live again. I loved this book and it is a "must read" for getting over losses without being preachy. Wonderful reading.

I found this boring. I couldn't get into the book or movie.

Sweet, sad and funny. I am in the process of loosing my husband to a terrible illness. It took me a while to read this book, as I had to cry during each session. It is so accurate about the feelings you have during the different stages of loosing someone. I believe it really helped me to find that I am not alone in my feelings. This could be a very benificial book for widows, especially those who are still fairly young or young at heart.

Hurray to the author for a job well done. There are lots of funny parts to make the book enjoyable. The story line is about the husband leaving messages for his widow to guide her through the grief process. One chapter made me realize how selfish I am about what I am going through, and think about what my husband must be thinking now. I hope my husband wants me to be happy and continue to live after he is gone. I'm so glad I read the book.

Holly, the thirty year old heroine, lives in Dublin and loves her life. Then fate delivers a brutal blow: her beloved husband dies and leaves her a very young widow.

The book recounts Holly's first year after her husband's death. His final gift to her is a series of notes to be opened at the beginning of each month. Each note contains one suggestion to help Holly move on with her life. And each note is signed "PS, I love you."

The book is quite moving as it depicts Holly's struggle to follow her husband's suggestions-give away his clothes, take a trip with her friends-and continue living. She realizes that her life had centered almost completely on her husband--not necessarily a good thing-and now, for the first time, she has to create a life for herself.

My only complaint with the book is that I found the writing amateurish at times. The plot, the characters and the ending were all satisfying and fully developed. However, I winced at some of the writing.

Still I would recommend this book to chick lit lovers everywhere.
