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 … 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.

Such a beautiful, heartfelt story of life after love. Sad but ultimately happy, this book takes you on a wonderful, emotional journey.
I love love love this book and it’s so much better than the movie. You just feel for the main character Holly from the start. The book is about loss and starting over.
Easy to read ,realistic
Very good book. Makes you think about what a person goes through when you lose someone you love and how society reacts.
Too much time describing minor events such as Karaoke contest, drinking party, etc. It somewhat holds your attention at time of reading but quickly forgotten when you stop reading. I ended up stopping the read nearly half way through once I became interested in another book.
“We haven’t lost everything, if we haven’t lost our hope.”
I first read this book in 2004 when it was first published. I loved it then and, have since, read many of author Ahern’s books. The sequel to this book is going to be coming out in February 2020 and so I read this again to refresh my memory. I enjoyed it just as much this time around. I …
Read this for the first time more than 10 years ago, and I’m so glad to have been given the chance by Netgalley to read this now, ahead of reading Postscript (the sequel to P.S. I Love You).
It was like reading it for the first time, as I found my memories of this book was very vague. One thing I remembered though was that this book was a tear …
This book as well as the movie is one of my all time favourite books ever.
Not only for the characters but for the realistic story behind this. Everything it’s so raw and well done, from the writing to the grief and exploring those feelings.
I just love every single second of this story
With an “I love you” in the title, one would presume this is a love story. And indeed it is, but not in the way you might expect…
Does love live on forever? Can it? These are some of the powerful and deep questions that Ms. Ahern investigates in this novel that simultaneously tugs at poignant emotions and warms the heart. This is one of the …
I loved this book !!! I easily got lost in the pages !!!
I had higher hopes for this one, but I think I gave it too much credit. The story easily could have been told in half the number of pages, if all the repetition had been eliminated. While the cycles of grief may certainly ring true in real life, reading the same thing over and over becomes dull and stalls the story. I didn’t find most of the …
Unpopular opinion, which I mean as respectfully as possible, but this book infuriated me.
It was supposed to be about love and loss, but really it’s about white privilege.
We learn from the book description that the main character lost her beloved husband to cancer and the first few chapters are about how no one ever suffered like her, as she …
