This book should be top of anybody’s' 'to read' list. The book that I bought while waiting for my flight to JB has brought me to tears at so many points. Simply said I just couldnt put it down!!
Despite the novel's sappy and mushy title, the book is very well written. I was skeptical at first due to the cutesy title and the very typical topic choice of love, but don't let that deter you from putting this book. PS, I Love You is Irish writer Cecelia Ahern's first novel, published in 2004. The book reached #1 bestseller status in Ireland (for 19 weeks), the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, and the Netherlands.
Friends know me well that I never buy books on love, avoiding at all cost on title that have the word ‘love’. Puh…lease…Mine usually involves murder, suspense, life stories, court proceeding from Sidney Seldon, John Grisham, Stephen King (not that I’m looking over some points to kill someone, hehehe).

The plot is about this 30year old heroin, Holly trying to come to terms that his husband died young out of cancer. But before he succumbed to death, he wrote 12 notes for Holly to be open each month. This is where all the adventures begin. Those notes are like instructions from Death Valley asking her to do a lot of things that Holly has never dream of doing before. My most favorite is the last note, the 12th letter, a husband wish for her wife to seek and never lost hope on finding a new love. That I think is the most unconditional love ever.
The writer manages to make people to really understand the main character’s feeling over losing his husband. The way she describes it so relax, real and genuine. Somehow she is successful in not trying too hard in making the reader crying along.
In the end, life must goes on…
