P.S. I Love You
3 journalers for this copy...
ARC from work. I picked up the extra copy we had for bookcrosser Bkit.
Book Synopsis:
The Notebook meets Bridget Jones's Diary in this enchanting, poignant, and witty first novel about moving on after loss.
Some people wait their entire lives to find their soul mates, but not Holly and Gerry. High-school sweethearts, they felt like they had been together forever. They could finish each other's sentences, and even when they fought (like over who would get out of bed to turn off the light each night) they laughed. Holly didn't know where she'd be without Gerry. No one did. And that's how "The List" started...as a joke. If anything were to happen to Gerry, he'd have to leave Holly a list of things to do to make it through the day.
The young couple then face the unimaginable: Gerry becomes desperately ill and then dies. Three months after his death, Holly emerges from her house to retrieve a mysterious package from her mother. When Holly opens it up, she finds that Gerry was true to his word. He's left her "The List." A letter for each month of the year following his death, each instructing Holly to do something to help her heal. Each note from Gerry to Holly is signed PS, I LOVE YOU.
Surrounded by girlfriends with razor-sharp wits and a family that smothers, loves, and drives her crazy, Holly Kennedy is a modern-day heroine -- wobbling, weaving, crying, and joking her way toward independence, and a new life of adventure, career, love, and friendship. From a fresh new voice in fiction, PS, I Love You is a tender, funny, unexpectedly romantic novel that readers will treasure in their hearts and minds long after closing the pages.

Thank you, petfriday. I'm reading it now.
This book, with another was mailed to countedx58 last week.
Just received this in today's mail from fellow BookCrosser bKit. Thanks!
Darn it, my father-in-law gave me a volume of Reader's Digest Condensed Books today, and I'd already read one of the four books contained in it. I glanced over the synopses of the other three and decided to dive into "P.S. I Love You." Then I came back here to make my journal entry (it only took me a couple of hours to burn through it) and -- lo and behold -- I see that I have a copy of the original book listed here on my BC bookshelf! Guess I don't need to read it now, eh? Darn! Normally I'd rather read the REAL book instead of the condensed version! Anyway, it's sort of a more serious "chick lit" about a 30-year-old widow who is going through the grieving process in the year after her husband's death from brain cancer.
But here's the really annoying part -- I've just gone and looked at my actual physical bookshelf, and IT'S NOT THERE! I'll take a look in my drawer of "to be read" books at work just to double check, though. Hmm ....

Okay, I've checked my bookshelf at home AND my book drawer at work, and this book is nowhere to be found. I'm assuming it's either officially lost (this has NEVER happened to me before!) or else I somehow released it and didn't make release notes. :(
