absolutely loved this book! I have learned, over the years, to read a book and then watch the movie if there is one. I can wholeheartedly say that the book completely outweighs the movie. I couldn't even finish the movie, as it seemed to have almost nothing in common with the book. Anyway, the book follows a woman who looses her husband to a brain tumor. Even though he is no longer with her in life, notes that he left behind help her to get through that first year without him and learn to live again. This book is written beautifully, it will make you laugh and cry. ( )

I like Cecelia Ahern's writing. Her style is casual and fun - you laugh and cry. I found the story to be too sad for me to really enjoy. ( )

Written very youthfully..author is quite young. Some parts were rather silly but all in all an ok read ( )

I am not a fan of chick-lit but as this is a favourite of a friend I thought I’d give it ago. Hmm.. there were things about the main character that really annoyed me. Her whole life revolved around a man. She had no investment in a career, had no hobbies and all her friends were those shared with her husband. The book was also incredibly dated - characters go to the library for internet access, smoking and excessive drinking are the norm and the females all tan on their holidays. There wasn’t much I liked about this book so I’m glad I only paid $1 for it at an op shop. Feel sure my next read will be better. ( )

This was Cecelia Aherns's first book and for me it remains to date her best book. ( )

Holly held the blue cotton sweater to her face and the familiar smell immediately struck her, an overwhelming grief knotting her stomach and pulling at her heart.

Book description
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 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 did 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.
