    About this audiobook

    Meaningful and moving – the classic million-copy bestselling love story from Cecelia Ahern.

    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.

      Where do I start? This book made me fall in love with reading. Ceclia Ahern is one of my favorite authors and has made this one of my all time number one book.She portrays the main characters as the perfect couple yet they have their flaws, but doesn't everyone. Then something drastic happens to her husband and the author paints it so beautifully as the letters keep coming.I won't ruin the plot but would highly recommend. You'll never want to put it down, it will make you laugh, cry and wish for everything to be perfect.

      Inhaltsangabe:Es war ein ganz einfacher Plan gewesen: Sie wollten einfach für immer zusammen bleiben. Doch ein Gehirntumor macht dem einen Strich durch die Rechnung. Gerry verstirbt im Februar und zurück bleibt Holly, die mit der Trauer nicht fertig wird. Kurz vor ihrem 30.ten Geburtstag bekommt sie von ihrer Mutter einen Karton mit Briefen. Zehn Stück an der Zahl, für jeden Monat einen.Es sind Briefe von Gerry, die er noch vor seinem Tod geschrieben hat, um Holly über die schwierige Zeit hinweg zu helfen. Er gibt ihr Aufgaben und Anregungen, so soll sie sich z. B. eine Nachttischlampe und ein schönes Kleid kaufen, an einem Karaoke-Wettbewerb teilnehmen und einen Kurzurlaub auf Lanzarote machen.In dieser Zeit erlebt Holly Hochs und Tiefs der Trauer, die sie mal allein und mal mit ihren Freundinnen Denise und Sharon durchsteht. Doch dann ändert sich plötzlich alles: Ihre Freundin Sharon ist schwanger und Denise wird heiraten. Und sie bekommt einen tollen Job und hat einen netten Freund – Daniel – dazu gewonnen.Wird sie bereit für ein neues Leben ohne Gerry sein?Mein Fazit:Nach dem ich vor ein paar Monaten den Film auf DVD gesehen habe, hatte ich natürlich eine gewisse Erwartungshaltung. Und ich muss sagen, das ich nicht enttäuscht worden bin. Im Gegenteil, ich habe das Buch in den letzten zwei Tagen regelrecht verschlungen.Holly erlebt ein schreckliches Jahr, nachdem sie fünfzehn Jahre lang ihr Leben mit Gerry teilte. Sie ist eine glaubhafte Figur und für mich sympathisch noch dazu. Ich habe jede Sekunde mit ihr gefühlt, wie sie trauerte, wütend und enttäuscht war und ein echtes Problem hatte, etwas Neues anzufangen.Mir haben aber auch die Freundinnen gefallen, die sehr unterschiedlich waren und so der Geschichte eine gewisse Würze gab. Auch Hollys Familie war für mich sehr herzerwärmend, wo doch bei allen eine spürbare Veränderung zu verzeichnen ist. Insgesamt gesehen finde ich diese Geschichte als sehr schön und originell. Es ist eine etwas andere Liebesgeschichte, die auf Klischees nicht angewiesen ist, sondern von Schlichtheit und Charme geprägt ist.Toll, kann ich nur empfehlen.Anmerkung: Die Rezension stammt aus Januar 2009.Neu veröffentlicht am 30.06.15!
    • 5/5
      I loved this audiobook possibly even more than when I first read this beautiful book over 10 years ago. The honesty, warmth and humour fills this book in the special way that Cecilia Ahern has of capturing the essence of life and love.
    • 2/5
      I thought it started well, and the concept was excellent. It could have been brilliant and moving. Many readers seem to consider that it is, but somehow I can't see it. I didn't find it very well-written: the dialogue isn't very realistic, and informal language seems to creep into the narrative rather often, but not frequently enough that it works as a style. I also found it annoying that viewpoints seemed to chop and change rapidly even within one scene. Holly is the main viewpoint character, so the majority of the events are seen from her perspective, but every so often we're given a glimpse into someone else's mind - sometimes even quite minor characters - in a way that disrupts the flow.

      Overall, I felt there were too many characters with not enough depth, too much sordid detail about trivialities, rather a lot of introspection from Holly which would have been better shown in action, and too little about the main plot. I didn't find any of the book amusing (although many reviews claim it's witty) nor emotionally moving (despite being told on the back that it would guarantee to tug on my heartstrings).

      Not really recommended, although for anyone who enjoys light-weight chick-lit, this is certainly above average.

      Holly is a young Irish widow rebuilding her life after losing her husband Gerry to a brain tumour. Gerry has left Holly a series of monthly letters to help her face the year ahead and get on with her life. As Holly moves through the letters she finds a new job, takes a holiday to Spain with her girlfriends, and sorts through Gerry’s belongings. With the help of friends and family members she gradually recovers from Gerry’s loss. This chick-lit book has flashes of humour interspersed with melancholy.
    • 5/5
      I absolutely loved this book ❤️❤️❤️❤️
      A book about how important it is to love no matter for how long one should be lucky enough to have it.
    • 5/5
      It started with a loss... and ended with a find - herself. Holly, a 30 years old, just lost her husband. After spending a month or so grieving, she found some letters from her husband to her, with a list that was made to guide her out of sorrow and into another life, a life without him.Some people may find this book full of cliches, and badly written, but personally i teared heavily through out the book. It brought up alot of memories, of idealisms that i had as a child, of the love i felt for my ex boyfriends and how losing each of them was a huge drama by themselves.Read it, and find the naive love in yourself again :)
    • 2/5
      I was not impressed with the writing.
    • 2/5
      Enjoyed the movie a lot more.

      1) I now want to scream very loudly every time I read the word "giggle." Does the author not own a thesaurus?
      2) I prefer my protagonists to be good people (maybe even strong?) with enough realistic flaws. Not incredibly weak with tons of flaws and maybe two good qualities.
      3) The fact that she never grew or posessed any strength apart from her husband is not romantic. It's just sad. She should have been enough of her own person by the age of thirty to have had a real job and her own hobbies that she could enjoy without Gerry.

      I would be absolutely distraught if Cody or any of my family members died, but I like to think I have the strength to carry on a bit more than Holly was able to.

      I think that about sums it up. I was actually glad when this book was over.
    • 5/5
      I remember reading P.S., I Love You on the train home from a conference and having to put the book down otherwise I would have ended up sobbing in public. What a great, yes sad, but great book. Highlighting that love doesn't end after death, but neither does life.Note: Read dates are an estimate.
    • 5/5
      Love this book, can read it countless times and still shed a tear. Possibly my fave Cecelia book.
    • 4/5
      I really did enjoy this book, although I found the lead character, Holly, to be pretty half-baked as a person for the first half. I'm not even talking about the grief in her character -- that was to be expected. My primary issue was the whole "living for her husband" aspect, which is a lifestyle decision I cannot relate to. I loved the humour and emotion in the book, though, and I really enjoyed watching how Holly grew as her own person. Overall, excellent read.

      I love this book. I think it is wonderfully written. I love the characters. There was so many emotions I felt while reading this book.
    • 4/5
      I read this book after watching the movie. I loved the movie, I also loved the book. However, be prepared as there are many differences between the book and the movie. Still an incredible story of helping a loved one get over the loss of another. So romantic, heartbreaking, and beautiful.
    • 3/5
      Whew! I finally finished reading this book. I have struggled trying to finished this but decided to finish it. Anyway, I have also recently watch the movie version of this book which of course is completely different from the book. And for me both the movie and the book are just okay. There are parts of the movie that are better than the book. But there are parts of the book that are better than the movie. When I started reading this...I pity Holly a lot and what she's going through. But by the time I'm in the middle of the book I just started getting bored. It's just an okay book for me.
    • 5/5
      Loved this book - Also loved the movie ... Cried reading the book, cried watching the movie ... But loved it just the same!
    • 4/5
      so different and so much better than the movie. Following my same theme -dead husband and grieving wife. I need to get out of this theme.
    • 5/5
      a lovely well written simple story of coming to terms
    • 5/5
      So good and sad. all that love to one person is unbearable after such a loss, I can't imagine myself in the same position, I know death is part of life, but saying good-bye forever seems such a long time and very painful.
      The major difference between the novel and its film adaptation is that in the novel, main characters Holly and Gerry Kennedy are both Irish, while in the film, only Gerry is Irish, Holly and her family are Irish Americans and the two live in New York. Also in the novel, Holly has numerous siblings, but in the film she has one. In the film, Jeffrey Dean Morgan plays William, a character who does not exist in the book. However, the film remains fairly true to the novel, and all of Gerry's letters are virtually unchanged.
    • 4/5
      First thing First:
      Never judge a book by its movie.
      True

      Book is absolutely different from the movie. I watched a movie and cried. There is nothing to hide when it comes to P.S. I love you.

      Book gave me heartbreak and the sweet pain which I am going to carry for whole life.

      P.S. Everyone should read the book.
    • 4/5
      great book, I shed a tear a few times but it's a lovely story
    • 2/5
      Holly and Gerry Kennedy were supposed to live happily ever after but after losing Gerry to a brain tumour, Holly is left wondering what comes after that. As Holly deals with being a widow, she is left with only a small part of Gerry, a series of envelopes he left her to help her through the rest of the year that she lost him. As Holly works to figure out who she is now and what to do with her life when the most important part of it is gone, she still faces the realities of family and friend dramas and the shocking reality that life goes on no matter what.I went into this book knowing that it was different from the film that was adapted from it and wanting very much not to compare them. I failed. This falls into the case of rare exceptions where I prefer the film to the book. The writing is occasionally clunky and despite the emotional content, for most of the novel I felt at a remove from Holly. The character conflicts feel almost awkward at times and some of the plot points didn't really add or subtract from the book. I likely would have ditched the book before finishing for the writing quality if I weren't using the book to satisfy a reading challenge. All that being said, I'm still willing to pick up another Ahern novel and hope that maturity and better editing will improve her books.

      P.S. I Love You was the first book I read this year. My daughter brought if home when she came to visit over Christmas and forgot pack it when she left. Hmmmm ... a book laying there all alone ... so far from home. What was I to do? I had to read it!

    • 5/5
      This book is completely awsome!!! It made me look at my life in another way.
    • 3/5
      I loved the storyline of this book, but found the actual writing a little choppy.
    • 5/5
      This was another very emotional book to read....laughing and crying and sometimes both at the same time. I gave read and reread this book so many times I probably know it word for word......which is a good thing! I recommend it for every one!
    • 3/5
      I picked up this book in a discount bookstore after recently seeing the movie for like a fifth time. So the idea of having your loved one leave you a series of letters after they had passed away sounded incredibly romantic and touching...we all strive for something even a little bit in our lives!
      Now I’m not a huge lover of the Chick-Lit genre, but I do enjoy it from time to time; normally provides an easier read between heavier ones. PS I Love You was one that I saw the movie before I a) knew it was from a book and b) actually read before I saw the movie; which is rare for myself to do, normally I like to read a book before I watch the movie version allowing my imagination to fully grasp the story instead of allowing the actors of the movie to make it so.
      Holly and Gerry...soulmates! Then Gerry is pulled away from Holly by the evils of cancer, leaving Holly to navigate a world without her soulmate. Gerry being the forever romantic has planned to help Holly through a series of letters around a list that they use to joke about when he was alive.
      I enjoyed the book enough, I liked the way Ahern addressed Holly’s grief throughout the book and that it wasn’t an automatic cut off switch, you found yourself championing for Holly. I did struggle with how the book delivered different aspects to what I did witness in the movie and in this instance I found how the movie helped Holly discover her letters and the world without Gerry a lot more realistic and personal/intimate.
      None the less I still enjoyed the book, was an easy read and gave it 3 stars. Here’s to the Gerry’s of the World!!
    • 2/5
      The husband’s death nearly broke Holly to bits but she managed to stay strong and put to move on with her life. Shortly after Gerry’s death, Holly received a package from Gerry, containing "the list". Seems like Gerry has been preparing for a surprise for Holly before his death meant to help Holly get on with her life with peace and light that she deserves.
    • 4/5
      This was a tear-jerker. I actually think I liked the movie a little bit more than the book. In the movie, she reads all of the letters outloud, in the book, sometimes all you get is the P.S. part and they are very short letters.
