I enjoyed P. S. I Love You but I'm going to say something that I never say. I like the movie more. I liked the movie so much that when I went to Ireland, I went to all the special places Holly went with Gerry. I knew he was annoyed with my constant calls mainly cause I called him while he was driving. But I was selfish that time and I didn't care, so I just kept calling. I've read and liked those words since long time ago but never really took time to think about it until an incident 8 years ago.

I still regret my last words to him. I still can't truly forgive myself for ended our conversation after a heated argument like that. At least with my Dad, things were good between us. The best love is matter-of-fact. It doesn’t need those big gestures and those bug romantic moments. Real love comes in the everyday moments, the daily life you share.” Come on, rom-com fans, you know what will happen. But this is an emotional story, so there’s drama, misunderstandings, and tension afoot and there are secrets to be revealed. In a lot of ways the book feels like a rom-com, but it also resonated for me in a number of ways. This is my second reading. I decided to revisit the book after winning a copy of the sequel, Postscript. In all honesty, there was emotion during this second reading; however, it felt like the book dragged in parts and some of the emotion was lost for me. There were some changes I appreciated in the film: location, the removal or changing of some characters, how Holly and Gerry meet, and other plot changes. Perhaps the biggest difference of all between the two is Gerry; he’s brought to life in the movie. Regardless, in the end there’s just no comparison to the book which has so much more detail with Holly’s pain, challenges, and struggles to finding a new normal. In addition, the book has much more development on the family (some of which aren’t in the movie), and supporting characters. With that said, I enjoyed both the book and movie for what they are. I still enjoyed it, but it was pretty jarring in many places. I find value in both and wish I could have enjoyed this without knowing about the movie, but I don't wish I had seen the movie after reading it—what a conundrum.There were so many changes made to translate this book to film. I won't go into them all here now because I wouldn't want to ruin it but let's just say they were significant. From love interests to careers, everything was different. And for that reason, I think I probably did it the right way round watching the movie first and reading the book second. sophia. “liked” would be a strong word, much like emma i found her annoying and whiney but compared to that god awful excuse for a main character, i found her to be the best part of the book. Your face on our wedding day was the purest and happiest face ever. Cute couple embracing the reasons why they’re in love This is a sweet story, but a little boring and predictable. Considering how little bisexual representation there is in fiction, I'm pretty happy with that aspect, but I even found this element a little watered down.

A decade after their marriage, Gerry develops a headache. He goes to the doctor and the news is devastating. He has brain cancer and his prognostic is terminal. PS : All in all, for me this is a good book. Unrealistic actually about that moving on things (the just-1-year-time-span which made it kinda unrealistic), but still it's a good read. Through Holly's journey and Gerry's letter, I got some lessons about healing. There is absolutely nothing wrong with returning to the house you grew up in every now and again. It's good for the soul." Now I'm gonna rant. So if you really loved this book and don't want to hear anything about it, just skip this one. Also, there will be some SPOILERS, so...Of course, like Holly & Gerry, we could finish each other's sentences. We too could read other's mind. I know him more than I know myself and vice versa. That's what 20-years-of-relationship did to us. Holly’s blood boiled and as she spoke her voice shook with rage, “And you wonder why I don’t go out with you. Because of stupid, insensitive remarks like that. Did you ever think for one moment that it might be hard for me? The fact that all you talk about are your bloody wedding arrangements and how happy you are and how excited you are and how you can’t wait to spend the rest of your life with Tom in wedded bliss. In case you hadn’t noticed, Denise, I didn’t get that chance because my husband died. But I am very happy for you, really I am.” Her friends became a group of crazy people, some extremely unnecessary stuff happened and then a massive blow up of her superficial "friendship" with Daniel occurred. After her very detailed interactions with friends, family and colleagues, all we read from her and Daniel were just some small-talk-level conversations, which never convinced me the friendship was in any way real at all. The way it was dealt with at the end was so bizarre, I could only laugh at it.

Customize the message and put in all your special moments, inside jokes and more. LoveBook Is The Perfect Giftif you think i could resist reading a sapphic book with 1) a hate-to-love romance and 2) a film festival...you clearly think of me too highly. i am weak, okay? i see the cutest cover ever and hear it's sapphic and i am craving the book. that's about 80% of my personality at this point. And that's when the words dawned on me. I promise myself that whenever I part with someone I love, I'll leave them with loving words.

there's also a pretty good balance between the more serious stuff (like sophia's parents their divorce and emma not being out to her parents). about emma: being bisexual myself, I definitely related to her and the representation made me so incredibly happy! especially this quote: Not an hour later, I got a phonecall from Widya. She told me about an accident that involved him and now they were on their way to hospital. When I got to hospital, he was already unconscious. He never wakes up again. Turns out, the "love-you" was his last words to me and "yeah-whatever-cepetan-ya-Gw-tunggu" was my last response to him. Bad, eh? Just like Holly, I'm a woman with a million happy memories. I could also proudly said that once in my life I knew what true love was.That day, I was talking on the phone with Dad. It was just a casual conversation. Dad was planning to come to Bandung at weekend so he asked me did I want him to bring something for me and such. Things were usual until when we were gonna ended our conversation. Usually at the end of our phone call, I'd like to say : Love you, Dad. That time, I didn't know why but I hesitated to say it. So I just said: "Okay take care, Pi" to which he said : "You too, kiddo. Be good. Love you." When I come out to them, I want them to know that bisexuality is valid, and I want them to know that bisexual love stories are as possible and beautiful and lovely as any other."
