Product Description

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 --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Review

5.0 out of 5 stars P.s I Love You, 1 Oct 2004
I am not much of a reader, but getting a voucher for my 18th, i thought I would change my habits.I saw this book and read the blurb which does not do it any justice at all.
From the minute I opened the book I found it very hard to tear myself away from it. finding that at every spare moment I had I would pick it up.
The story is based on Holly and her husband Gerry who passes away with a brain tumour. Holly, as many of us have found it hard losing others and this is no different. She stuggles to come to terms with what has happened to her.
She recieves a call from her mother saying there is a note for her. It turns out her husband has left her notes that last 10 months. Each month a new one is opened with something different to help guide her to progress with her life 'without' him. This novel is very heart felt and touched my heart on a number of occasions. Throughout the book I had to fight back the tears.
This is a must read! I'm just looking forward to many more of Aherns books to come.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not too bad, 4 Jul 2004
This review is from: PS, I Love You (Paperback)
To be honest, because of all the hype I didn't expect to enjoy this. It is a shame that the book couldn't stand for itself rather than be sold on all the hype about who the author is related to, and how much her publisher paid to have her included in the Richard and Judy picks. Still, it wasn't too bad.

The story idea was intriguing but I would have liked to have seen what a more experienced author would have made of it as I thought that it was very obvious that a twenty-odd year old was writing it. It would have been much better for the author to have her character Holly a similar age rather than trying to write her as a thirty year old. (Most thirty year old's do not wear tiaras and call themselves Princess! Or incidentally have Daddy conveniently write them cheques if they run into money trouble)

However, this was a minor thing, as eventually you do get drawn into the lives of these characters, flat as some of them may be and in the end, I did really enjoy it. Essentially though, some of the better-known (and better written) books by Irish chicklit authors like Marian Keyes, Sheila o Flanagan or Melissa Hill will remain higher up on my must-read list.

But I suspect with time, this author will greatly improve and it will be her books, rather than her name that stand the test of time.
