Book review on - P.s. I love you by Cecelia Ahern.


Summary (Goodreads):


A novel about holding on, letting go, and learning to love again.
Now in paperback, the endearing novel that captured readers' hearts and introduced a fresh new voice in women's fiction Cecelia Ahern.
Holly couldn't live without her husband Gerry, until the day she had to. They were the kind of young couple who could finish each other's sentences. When Gerry succumbs to a terminal illness and dies, 30-year-old Holly is set adrift, unable to pick up the pieces. But with the help of a series of letters her husband left her before he died and a little nudging from an eccentric assortment of family and friends, she learns to laugh, overcome her fears, and discover a world she never knew existed.
The kind of enchanting novel with cross-generational appeal that comes along once in a great while, PS, I Love You is a captivating love letter to the world!

What did i think : 

I have watched the movie first which i shouldn't have done, the movie and the book are very different form each other, and have their own charms. heres my take on the book .

 When Hollys husband  dies she is shocked to find out her husband has planed surprises for  her throw the first year of  her loss, he life changes as his letters force her to  find herself and get out of depression by simply finding good in life again,

Holly has a adventure and learns to let go and what to hold onto. i loved this book and still brought tears to my eyes.

Quotes form the book.

“what a luxury it was for people to hold their loved ones whenever they wanted”

 “...God leads you to it and takes you through it.”

“Nobody's life is filled with perfect little moments. And if it were, they wouldn't be perfect little moments. They would just be normal. How would you ever know happiness if you never experience downs?” 

“Her best friend was gone and nobody understood that no amount of makeup, fresh air or shopping was going to fill the hole in her heart.”

Book Review: Fifty shads of gray

When literature student Anastasia Steele goes to interview young entrepreneur Christian Grey, she encounters a man who is beautiful, brilliant, and intimidating. The unworldly, innocent Ana is startled to realize she wants this man and, despite his enigmatic reserve, finds she is desperate to get close to him. Unable to resist Ana’s quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Grey admits he wants her, too—but on his own terms.

Shocked yet thrilled by Grey’s singular erotic tastes, Ana hesitates. For all the trappings of success—his multinational businesses, his vast wealth, his loving family—Grey is a man tormented by demons and consumed by the need to control. When the couple embarks on a daring, passionately physical affair, Ana discovers Christian Grey’s secrets and explores her own dark desires.


The first book in the series surprised me, in a good way it was not what i expected, Hot, emotional , complex and moving, to tell you all the truth i only expected plain out Hot and all the bedroom, but  there is a whole other side into the story, and it hooked me.  really felt  as if in the story and the feelings of  whats happening between Christan and Anna,  in its own way its bueatiful.

Christian the control freak, handsome proactive and overbearing with a dark secret and a very exotic taste, gets a interested in the  creative  innocent brunette Anna, at first he wants to  have her as he hade many other but feelings start to change and it doesn't go the way that Christian Expected it to.
A Brilliant start to a  good trilogy.

Showing how love can break throw even the strangest of barriers.
4 out 5 hearts
I will be reviewing the other 2 books soon !

Book Review: Karen Kingsbury - Even Now


Shane Galanter is getting married---to the wrong woman. Can he forget the girl he loved years ago? Lauren Gibbs's dreams of happiness walked out the door with Shane and the daughter she gave up. Emily Baker searches for the mother she never met. Will three hurting people find hope in the ashes of yesterday?

A very touching book about lost love and forgiveness, finding out who you are and being able to move past  mistakes made by yourself and others.
The book brings you to tears and makes you  reflect on your own life. 

Lauren is strong willed and  independent, she is willing to do anything to prove  her love with Shane is the real thing, but when  lies  separates them and misunderstandings sticks it would seem that love is lost, only to meet again years latter when their daughter  beings them back tougher,  but can they see past the diffidences.
