P.S. I Love You.

A few weeks ago, I came across a copy of P.S. I Love You. Yes, I know, I know, I'm the last person on the planet who hadn't read that book. But having stumbled upon it, I gave it a go and rather enjoyed it - even if certain parts of it annoyed me a tiny bit. The idea in itself is really quite sweet, and I liked all of the characters.

This evening, I remembered I had the film waiting around to be watched, so decided to give that a go. I wasn't convinced at the beginning, because it's quite drastically different from the book, but it definitely grew on me. It helped having random conversations about it on Facebook, too. Gotta love film reviews from friends. As for the actors! The dreamy men! With accents! Phwoar. Gerard Butler is too cute, James Marsters (Spike!) is always gorgeous, and I'm secretly going to elope with Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

I do feel sad now though after watching it, and can't wait for the boy to come home. And I suddenly want to visit Ireland, quite badly. It's only an hour or so away, too ... one day, soon I hope. It looks absolutely amazing!

  1. Never read the book, nor have I ever seen the movie. I suppose I might need to look into doing both... thanks for the recommendations!

  4. I have the book, but I haven't read it yet. I just can't bring myself to do it, even reading the blurb makes me get a lump in my throat. I have this incredible fear of Cam dying, or someone else I love dying, and reading the book would mean thinking about that and lots of crying.

  7. I loved the book so much more than the movie. I think it was a casting issue. I can't count the number of times I cried while reading it!
