Holly is about to turn 30 years old and has recently lost the absolute love of her life. Her high school sweetheart and husband, Gerry, has passed away after a brief fight with a brain tumor. But Holly isn't left to herself, she has her best friends and family to help her grieve Gerry and try to figure out life without him. And then there's Gerry himself, he's done something to help Holly figure out life without him. It turns out before Gerry died he wrote Holly a series of letters asking her to do certain things, designed to help her move forward. So, Holly embarks on a journey through her grief helped along by Gerry, whom she is grieving.

I am surprised at how much I liked this story - as implausible as most of it was/is and as oddly bland as some of Gerry's prompts to move forward were for Holly. But perhaps I should give the guy a break, he was really ill at the time he embarked on his final project. I think what I liked about the book was Ahern's attempt to explore a way to interact with grief, by using the object of grief itself. I haven't seen the movie, I'm not sure that I want to. But I am slightly curious to read the follow-up book. I'm not moving it up on my TBR but I do think I'll get to it someday.

Cecelia’s writing is so beautiful and enchanting, it always feel effortless to read as the writing just flows off the page.

This book will always hold a special place in my heart and was just the read I needed when going through a really tough time, Cecelia’s words provided the comfort I needed.

This was a great book. It made me laugh, it made me cry (sorry I am a Braunscheidel). It is definitely worth reading!!!

Totally a "chick lit" book - and not even that well-written, but I loved the main character and the author really tried to fill the book with other interesting characters. Some worked - some didn't.

The concept was appealing, but the narration got sidetracked a good bit with silly stuff. I didn't truly feel sad for the main character although I kept trying to put myself in her shoes. I think because I have kids, the concept of losing my husband is much more complicated than just losing my best friend, so it's hard to imagine myself spending days alone just pining away.

A nice story but way too much pointless dialogue.

PS, I Love You was a cute story, easy to read, and full of emotion. Still, I felt that the narration left something to be desired. And as always, the book is better than the movie.
