P.S. I Love You
3 journalers for this copy...
Synopsis
A wonderfully warm and heartfelt debut from a stunning new talent. Everyone needs a guardian angel...Some people wait their whole lives to find their soul mates. But not Holly and Gerry. Childhood sweethearts, they could finish each other's sentences and even when they fought, they laughed. No one could imagine Holly and Gerry without each other. Until the unthinkable happens. Gerry's death devastates Holly. But as her 30th birthday looms, Gerry comes back to her. He's left her a bundle of notes, one for each of the months after his death, gently guiding Holly into her new life without him, each note signed 'PS, I Love You'. As the notes are gradually opened, and as the year unfolds, Holly is both cheered up and challenged. The man who knows her 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. Life is for living, she realises -- but it always helps if there's an angel watching over you.

Journal Entry 6 by Boekenspookje from Zoetermeer, Zuid-Holland Netherlands on Thursday, October 22, 2009
When I didn't got the DVD,I still was intrigued by the plot of the story. So, I am glad getting to know the story anyhow. Maybe it's for the best, books are often better than the movies that are based on them.
Thanks for giving me this opportunity.
My experience:
Parts of the book are very "chicklit"-like, which is a pity, because I don't like chicklits. I am not interested in shopping for dresses or going drunk in bars. Luckily, the story is written well and beside the chicklit-stuff I found it a nice read. I can certainly understand that a film was made of it, because when I read it I could see the scene in my head. The end is somewhat disappointing, but I can understand the writer didn't want to make the end too predictable.
