Review: P.S. I Love You

Author - Cecelia Ahern
Genre - Romance
No. of Pages - 496
Year of Publication - 2004
Rating - ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
If you guys are looking for a good cry, this book is the choice. This book is a perfect blend of sentiments, love, emotions, loss of love and finally regain of life. It is the debut novel of Ahern and by far one of her finest works. This one is one of my most favorite novels. 

If you like love stories you will certainly love this one. But let me remind you, it is heartbreaking and if you don't have tears in your eyes while reading this book, don't consider yourself a human. Seriously.

Holly is devastated after the death of her love, her husband Gerry. She has the support of her family and friends but it can never be enough to fill this void in her life. She starts losing hope because she can never imagine a life without Gerry. As the pain and destruction engulfs her, her 30th birthday looms and she gets a present from Gerry, a bundle of letters guiding her into her new life without Gerry. He guides her regarding the things she should do and the way she should embrace life as it is.

The letters in particular are written too beautifully. They are eloquent enough to describe the love of Gerry for Holly. The last letter is too emotional and made me really cry my eyes out.

A movie has also been filmed based on this novel but I would suggest to read the novel first. Any movie based on a book only gives you ten percent of the actual content. If you want to savor the literature, read the book.
This book is one of my favorites and I am sure it will become yours too.


Sometimes it's about living life one letter at a time.

Review: All The Bright Places

Author - Jennifer Niven Genre - Young Adult/Romance No. of Pages - 400 Year of Publication - 2015 Rating - ❤️❤️❤️ Recently, I read this YA novel and it was a good read. Instead of being just a young-adult novel, it gives you a sneak peek into the depth and seriousness of the mental illness the protagonist, Theodore Finch faces. He is portrayed as a complete 'freak' as called by his schoolmates. But no one knows about the damage that has occurred inside his brain, his body, and above all inside his soul. Violet Markey is an outgoing, carefree, ambitious and adventurous person until one evening. The evening when she loses her sister in a car accident, and nothing is same for her again. She blames herself for the accident and every small thing like someone's laugh or someone's eyes remind her of her sister Eleanor.  They meet at the top of school bell tower and their lives are no more the same. Violet learns how important it is to live life at the moment r...

Review: Safe Haven

Author - Nicholas Sparks Genre - Romance No. of Pages - 432 Year of Publication - 2011 Rating - ❤️❤️❤️ After reading The Notebook , I had high expectations from any other Sparks' book. I wouldn't say that I didn't like this book. All in all it was an okay read. I liked Erin's character a lot. She is portrayed as an independent and brave woman and yes, intelligent too. Alex is a decent character who showcases the idealistic image of a single father who loves and cares for his children more than anything else in the world. And lastly, Kevin, who would like him when he is the self proclaimed villain? I guess no one. Erin moves to Southport, North Carolina after fleeing from her husband, Kevin's house. Erin fell in love with Kevin and they got married but just after a few years of marriage, Erin discovered how obsessed he is with himself and how he wants total control over her moves and her life.  She felt suffocated in his house. She wasn't even al...
