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.
