P.S. I love you

When I first walked in in the saraiva store, never crossed my mind that I would buy P.S. I love you. The strange thing was that I was only there to talk to somebody, so buying stuffs wasn't my plan... but when my eyes stared the book it caught my attention... And I bought it.
In the other night I watched the P.S. I love you film so I would see the difference from the novel. It was the third time I was seeing the film. And believe me I loved it but after I read the book. My Gosh! It's completly different! I mean we know that almost every single time a film based on a novel isn't quite the same but in the end they all try to show the same thing... what in P.S. is completly different. If you see only the film it's perfect! But if you read the book you start to think what on earth would make the idiots change the whole story? What's the point? They changed pretty much the whole book. Only the story of a death husband that die and let the letters to his wife was the same. Of course that Gerard and Hillary is pretty much what the writer discribe in the book and it's inevitable don't think of them when you read. So the only good thing on the film are Gerry and Hillary.
But let's not talk about the film...
P.S. is the kind of book that makes you laugh and cry, be happy and sad. It has this power. Cecila is a great writer and this is her first novel. All the things she wrote is so clever! What Gerry did for Holly is so thoughtful and all her friends and family were very supportive. And I never after reading a book felt so sad for came to the end of something that was so wonderful.
I know that I'll have all the tree girls with me for rest of my life because the book isn't only a simple book I read, this one is different, has emotion, life! Is like that I now know all the characters and they are part of me now.
I want to put here the end of the book that I really loved so if you haven't read it yet or you don't want to know how it ends stop reading here and go read the book. I'm sure you won't regreat! P.S. I love you is now in the top of my favorite books!
