The Story of Me!

P.S I love you..

This is the name of the book that I've finished reading just a minute ago. Written by Cecelia Ahern, the Irish writer, this book tells you the story of how a young woman loses her true love to a brain tumor. After having a wonderful marriage, she loses her beloved husband after a long fight against the cancer that was slowly killing him and sucking the life out of him. It explains to you her long painful journey to heal, her ups and downs, her deepest emotions. It portrays what's it like to lose someone you love ever so dearly to death.

I must say that I was really touched by this book. As I read through the first pages, I was heart broken, and I felt like my chest was tightening as I got more involved in this story. It's hard enough as it is to find your true love, or your soul mate, but it's even harder to lose them so quickly especially to death.

I was inspired by this woman's courage to survive, to move on, to be okay with her emotions, and express them every now and then by just crying, either alone in her room or on a close person's shoulder.

Here's a quote from the book which I really liked,

" Finding someone you love and who loves you back is a wonderful, wonderful feeling. A soul mate is someone who understands you like no other, loves you like no other, will be there for you forever, no matter what. They say that nothing lasts forever, but I am a firm believer in the fact that for some, love lives on even after they're gone".

She was indeed a very lucky woman to have had the oppertunity to experience that kind of love.

I give this book a B-.
