Ahern, the mediagenic 22-year-old daughter of Ireland's prime minister, debuts with a sweet, sentimental tale of a young widow's trials and triumphs in the year after her husband's death. Soul mates Holly and Gerry married in their early 20s; when Gerry dies of brain cancer at 30, Holly is utterly bereft. But Gerry has a final gift: a series of letters, which Holly is to open on the first of each month from March to New Year's, and which will guide her on her journey from grief. Gerry correctly predicts that Holly will not have gone through his belongings by June, found a new job by September or considered falling in love again by December, but with his posthumous epistolary encouragement she does all those things. She also enters a karaoke contest, takes a beach vacation and dances at a holiday ball she'd always attended with Gerry. The months pass as close friends help prop Holly up; around her, a marriage falls apart, a couple gets engaged and a friend announces her pregnancy. Within her tight-knit family, Holly's youngest brother makes a revealing film of her birthday party, her elder brothers change places in her allegiance and her parents take in one stray grown child after another for stays short and long. Ahern's speed (she wrote the book in three months) and her youth do show-the wisdom in evidence owes much to Nicholas Sparks and Sophie Kinsella-and her prose is pedestrian. She boasts a natural storytelling talent, however, resulting in a compelling tale sparked by an unusual premise.

Boxing Day seems like a good day to tuck up with a romantic bit of chic lit.

Story was sweet and thought-provoking, but a bit predicatable. Hmmm, who will be the next reader?

The book starts out sad. Holly loses her husband, Gerry, at a young age from a terrible illness. She is grieving and trying to just get through each day. Gerry left for Holly a series of notes to open each month. With the notes and the support of family and friends, Holly slowly gets on with her life and living again.

I liked the book and I cared for Holly.

Journal Entry 9 by wingMaranlinwing at Burlington, Ontario Canada on Tuesday, July 1, 2014
I had previously read "The Gift" and "Thanks for the Memories" and was not overly impressed with either one. However, I really liked "P.S. I Love You". It is a very good story, and perhaps my love of this book has to do with the fact that I totally identified with Holly, the main character. Having lost my own husband last year, I could really relate to all her thoughts, feelings and emotions throughout her grief journey. Ahern has done a great job describing this journey. Although the theme is grief and working your way through it, the book is not all sadness. There are many comical episodes as well.I was not sure at first if I was up to reading this but am glad I did.
