Editorial Review (from Amazon.com)
A novel about holding on, letting go, and learning to love again.Now in paperback, the endearing novel that captured readers' hearts and introduced a fresh new voice in women's fiction -- Cecelia Ahern.
Holly couldn't live without her husband Gerry, until the day she had to. They were the kind of young couple who could finish each other's sentences. When Gerry succumbs to a terminal illness and dies, 30-year-old Holly is set adrift, unable to pick up the pieces. But with the help of a series of letters her husband left her before he died and a little nudging from an eccentric assortment of family and friends, she learns to laugh, overcome her fears, and discover a world she never knew existed.
The kind of enchanting novel with cross-generational appeal that comes along once in a great while, PS, I Love You is a captivating love letter to the world!

Tolk thinks this book is Excellent.
Can someone write a story about how to survive the death of your soul mate in such a way that it makes the reader laugh and actually see that 'with a little help from your friends' there is a way out of this most dreadful personal disaster? Someone can. Because in PS, I love you Cecelia Ahern does just that.
When her husband Gerry dies just shortly before her 30th birthday, it seems like Holly will never get back on the track of what we call 'a normal life'. But then she finds a letter addressed to her - one that Gerry sent her. In it, there are several notes, one for each month of the rest of the year. Each one with a task she has to fulfil. What seems really strange, after all, it is like getting letters from the grave, actually is something that sort of takes her by the hand and leads her through the next horrible months. It helps her in a way that not even her friends and family can help her.
It is a great read, sad and funny at the same time, with a love for life, an ode to soul mates, friends and family. And, on top of that all, a debut novel. Wonderful.
