Book is much much better than the movie
Great book. Good love story. Like most books, it is much better than the movie, though I loved the movie. But when you read the book you just ache for Holly (main character) that she found her true love and now he's gone. But at the same time, before he died he thought to do all of these wonder ...

I hadn't heard of Cecelia Ahern until the movie came out and then I read it was based on a novel. Well I am one of those people who believe the novel is usually better than the movie and will run out to read the book first. I haven't seen the movie yet but now I wonder if it might not have been better.
The story is about Holly, a young woman who's husband has recently died. Holly discovers that her husband left her a series of notes, one for each month, for her to open after his death. I enjoyed the fact that the story is honest in it's portrayal of grief, there are no cliche sappy endings. Actually it is written with a bit of humor and with Holly's crazy family and friends, there are a couple of laugh out loud moments in the book.
However, after reading the book I don't feel like I came away with anything original or any strong emotions one way or another. I could almost see this book written to be made into a movie because I would hope that the visual humor and grief could be portrayed with more emotion on the big screen than what was written in this book.
