This is a novel about holding on, letting go and learning to love again after you have been heartbroken.
Holly couldn't live without her husband Gerry, until the day that she had to thorough no choice of her own. They were the kind of young couple who couldnt finish each other sentences and when Gerry succumbs to a terminal illness and dies, Holly is set adrift and is struggling to pick up the pieces and rebuild her life. With the help of a series of letters that her husband has written to her before he died and a little nudging from her wide circle of friends and family. She slowly learns how to laugh again, overcome her fears and discovers a new and exciting world that she didn't know existed.
I have read this book so many times i could play the part of Holly. She is just the normal kind of girl who has been with one serious relationship and when this breaks down doesn't have her own identity. I found that i was cheering her on as she goes through all of the stages of grief and how she starts to realise her own identity as a single person. This was my go to book when i split from my ex-husband and must have read it about 10 times in the first 18 months of our breakup. And like Holly i found myself and a new life through letting go.
I would recommend this to anyone who has loved and lost someone, click her to get your copy: https://www.amazon.co.uk/PS-Love-You
