I liked this book, it kept me intrigued. Had quite a bit of language, more than I usually put up with. The author was 22 when she wrote the book, and is the daughter of Ireland's Prime minister. Now I want to see the movie.

Waaaaaay different from the movie, which made it all the more amazing. I usually hate when movies don't follow the book, but this one was so dramatically different that I didn't even associate them while I was reading.

I really enjoyed reading this. I had watched the movie way before I ever read the book and I can say that if you can't reasonably keep the movie out of your head while reading this then you won't enjoy it. The book and movie are almost nothing alike. Some of the names are the same,but it all (except for the vacation) takes place in Ireland. No one is from America in this. But that doesn't mean that one or the other are bad because of it. The book has so much more depth than the movie and that's just because it's a book. Plus if Hollywood does anything it has to Americanize it some how. So just bear all that in mind when you go to read this book. Both are good but very different.

Interesting premise but the book could have used an editor with a heavier hand. A lot of expository (telling) writing and a fair amount of distracting head hopping. The end felt as though the author acknowledged that at 400 pages (with 70 pages to go) she'd beat wrap up the narrative and wrap it up fast, which is to say the end feels rushed and hastily resolved.

P.S I love you Cecilia Ahern.... your book always amaze me :)

Sejak kematian Gerry, suami dari Holly Kennedy... hidup Holly seakan tak ada artinya lagi, bagaimana tidak, ia sangat mencintai Gerry.
Ia rela bisa mengubah nasib dan waktu untuk hidup bersama Gerry lagi...
Ia menyesal selama ini bertengkar hal2 kecil bersama Gerry, seperti giliran siapa yang harus mematikan lampu tidur...
Ia menyesal sempat berpikir perceraian dikala terdapat pertengkaran atau konflik...

Namun semua sudah terlambat, kepergian Gerry yg dikarenakan tumor otak, telah membuat hati Holly hancur. Ia tidak sanggup melakukan apapun, bahkan ia lupa kapan terakhir kali mandi atau mengisi perutnya..

Namun, keajaiban masih ada bagi Holly, karena Gerry tidak begitu saja meninggalkan nya.
Gerry mengirimkan 10 surat daftar yang harus ia lakukan selama 10 bulan, terhitung bulan Maret, karena February Gerry telah tiada.

Mampukah Holly bangkit kembali dan menata hidupnya kembali tanpa Gerry disisinya?

Bukunya lebih bagus dari film nya !

Twas a solid “meh” for me. Many of the characters, especially Holly, came off as very vapid, rude, and spoiled. She treated her friends and family horribly. I know the author was young when she wrote this, and it very much shows. I wish that there was more depth to her relationship with Gerry because he was the only character that I actually cared about and we got so little of him. It could have been so much more emotionally-charged than it was.

Writing-wise, my gripes are:

1. I dislike how the author would jump to different POVs without any transitions or warnings, as that was a tad confusing.

2. There was no build up or real climax to the story? Events just…happened.. and then the book ended.

Idk. I just feel like the concept had so much promise but the execution fell flat for me.

Holly no es cualquier viuda.Cuando su esposo Gerry muere se da cuenta de que jamás se preocupó de tener vida propia.Jamás tuvo una carrera,ni metas su vida giraba 100% en torno a él siendo un personaje totalmente dependiente.



Con una prosa simplona,personajes secundarios que son tan patéticos como nuestra protagonista y el final más random y decepcionante de la vida.
Se la pasa llorando todo el libro.Nunca busca ayuda profesional.(Si entiendo que está de duelo pero es tan Mary Sue )



Y en cuando a Gerry sus cartas no son nada tiernas y aún después de muerto se las arregla para seguir manipulando la vida de Holly durante un año completo ¬¬
