Synopsis

Holly and Gerry are a married couple in Dublin until Gerry dies of a brain tumor. Holly withdraws from her friends and family and struggles to face the world. Then her mother mentions a package addressed to her. Inside are notes Gerry wrote before he died, one for each month after his death, every one signed "P.S. I Love You."

Each note pushes Holly to take on something new and to rediscover herself. Along the way she leans on her best friends Sharon and Denise and her large family, meets Daniel, and slowly starts to rebuild a life of her own. Cecelia Ahern's 2004 debut is a warm, tearful novel about grief, friendship and learning to go on, and it was adapted into a 2007 film starring Hilary Swank and Gerard Butler.
