Dear Cecelia,
OK, I am sure that these are getting a little bit annoying because I bet I'm saying some of the same things each time. For example, I know that each time I write I say how much I love this book. I just cannot help it I am sorry, it's just that Gerry is so damn cute. Seriously, every letter he sends is just adorable. And, I predict that he has something to do with Holly's garden being fixed up. I think it's her mom because in the movie they had her mom deliver the notes without her knowing. In the chapters I just read Holly had a barbecue birthday get together for her sister Ciara. And, she got Ciara a job at a bar. And, Ciara's boyfriend came back from Australia that she was really missing because he kind of ignored her. But now they are happily together! Holly, Sharon, and Denise went to Spain! Ah! It seems like they had an excellent time. Being stuck out in the ocean in rafts didn't seem half bad. In the movie they were only stuck in a lake because they went to Ireland (from America) instead of to Spain, so that wasn't as scary I don't think. It was funny though because Denise only had a thong bikini on and got really sun burnt and could barely move. The best part about these chapters was Holly's August letter because it told her (when she was on vacation) to go to the lighthouse and see the dolphins. Oh, it was just so cute I could hardly bare. I can't wait to see Holly open more letters and to see who is doing her garden!

Dear Cecelia,
First I would like to continue to say how much I love this book. I seriously like it, it's so cute (and I am not a big fan of "cute"). I read a lot and, there have not been a lot of notes from Gerry. But, the one that is my favorite so far out of all of them is when he got Holly and her friends a surprise trip to Spain. I mean come on, how cute is that? He went through so much trouble for her and even the workers at the travel agency know it! I would do anything to marry a man as carrying and thoughtful as Gerry. He knows exactly what to give Holly and when to give it to her, he is just incredible. Now besides from Gerry and his part in Holly's life, Holly has some other very important family members and friends that are trying to help her get through this tough time. Her mother is very carrying and really wants the best for Holly and so do her friends. Now, on Holly's birthday she had a very adventurous night that seemed extremely fun! But, I think I would agree with Holly and not being a big fan of showing the entire world what she was like when she was drunk out of her mind. Yes, it is very entertaining, but not when it is actually how someone is. And, it made me sad that Declan didn't cut out the part where she was crying in it. Where is his respect? I mean he had the right intension of making a good film, but he never really told Holly about it. I can't wait to keep going in this book!

Dear Cecelia,
OK, I am completely in love with this book. I loved the movie and the book is just as good. I love how I can follow everything too. Because sometimes in books that go back and forth in time can get confusing, but yours is so easy to understand! But, I love Gerry. He is an amazing guy to come up with the plan to write letters to Holly to let her know he is still there, but she must keep living her life with out him actually being there. He is so sweet and he knows exactly what to say to her without telling her his plan. (Plus in the movie Gerard Butler is a total babe so I can imagine him as Gerry in the book also). And for Holly, I think she can be sad all she wants. I don't like it when people say get over it to you when something so dramatic happens all you can do is cry. She should take all the time she needs to be alone and do what she wants because she lost the love of her life and it's hard to live life without the love. But, the cutest letter he sent her was the one where he told her to get a new lamp for the bedroom because they used to fight about who had to get up and turn it off. Then she remembers times when they fought about it and there are always the cutest stories I love it. I don't think Holly should regret the time she thinks she missed or argued with Gerry because then all of the amazing things that happened to them could not have happened. As long as she remembers him and knows he's still there she will be alright. I can't wait to keep reading! Oh, I also love love love how it is in Ireland.

Outside Reading
P.S. I Love You
P.S. I Love You was written by Cecelia Ahern. There are a few reasons I chose to read this book, one of them being that Gerard Butler is on the cover of it. But, one of the main reasons was that I saw the movie and died. It was one of the best movies I’ve ever seen in my life. I’m not much of a romantic movie watcher or book reader, but I got hooked. The humor in it is so perfect for such a sad story. Another reason is that it takes place in Ireland and I kind of have an obsession with Ireland, maybe because I have red hair and white skin, who knows? The only problem is that it is 501 pages too long for me, but hopefully I can finish it in time for class. I can’t wait to read it all because sometimes movies miss some really good parts.
