Review: P.S. I Love You

Author - Cecelia Ahern
Genre - Romance
No. of Pages - 496
Year of Publication - 2004
Rating - ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
If you guys are looking for a good cry, this book is the choice. This book is a perfect blend of sentiments, love, emotions, loss of love and finally regain of life. It is the debut novel of Ahern and by far one of her finest works. This one is one of my most favorite novels. 

If you like love stories you will certainly love this one. But let me remind you, it is heartbreaking and if you don't have tears in your eyes while reading this book, don't consider yourself a human. Seriously.

Holly is devastated after the death of her love, her husband Gerry. She has the support of her family and friends but it can never be enough to fill this void in her life. She starts losing hope because she can never imagine a life without Gerry. As the pain and destruction engulfs her, her 30th birthday looms and she gets a present from Gerry, a bundle of letters guiding her into her new life without Gerry. He guides her regarding the things she should do and the way she should embrace life as it is.

The letters in particular are written too beautifully. They are eloquent enough to describe the love of Gerry for Holly. The last letter is too emotional and made me really cry my eyes out.

A movie has also been filmed based on this novel but I would suggest to read the novel first. Any movie based on a book only gives you ten percent of the actual content. If you want to savor the literature, read the book.
This book is one of my favorites and I am sure it will become yours too.


Sometimes it's about living life one letter at a time.

Review: And Then There Were None

Author - Agatha Christie Genre - Thriller No. of Pages - 320 Year of Publication - 1964 Rating - ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Unlike my earlier reviews, this one is about a thriller. And actually a mind boggling thriller. This is one of those books which will keep you awake through the night with your mind bubbling with questions. A sure shot page turner. And the end will be something you could never imagine.  A mysterious person U.N. Owen invites ten people to his island for different purposes and so the blunder begins. People start dying without any possible explanations and the murderer could only be someone among them because they are the only people on the island. There seems no way they can escape the island and neither do they have any link to the outside world. The fear of death is hanging on their heads and no one is out of doubt. Every person is suspected. Any plans or strategies made to catch the murderer are futile in the end and the reason will become obvious when you read the epi

Review: The Notebook

Author - Nicholas Sparks Genre - Romance No. of Pages - 224 Year of Publication - 1996 Rating - ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 'Noah and Allie'. I consider them the modern Romeo and Juliet. This was my first Sparks' novel and I literally fell in love with his writing after reading it. Characters, setup, plot, expression, I give this novel ten on ten for everything. I don't like reading ebooks personally but I had heard so much about this book that I couldn't wait to buy a paperback and downloaded the ebook. This book is a pure romantic fiction but it is not boring at all. The author has portrayed the characters of Noah and Allie so beautifully that you will certainly fall in love with them. The book opens with an old man giving his introduction while he heads towards a room. A room where he has been going for three years just to narrate the same story to a woman suffering from Alzheimer . The story he reads from his notebook is about Noah and Allie.  They meet each other whe

Review: Safe Haven

Author - Nicholas Sparks Genre - Romance No. of Pages - 432 Year of Publication - 2011 Rating - ❤️❤️❤️ After reading The Notebook , I had high expectations from any other Sparks' book. I wouldn't say that I didn't like this book. All in all it was an okay read. I liked Erin's character a lot. She is portrayed as an independent and brave woman and yes, intelligent too. Alex is a decent character who showcases the idealistic image of a single father who loves and cares for his children more than anything else in the world. And lastly, Kevin, who would like him when he is the self proclaimed villain? I guess no one. Erin moves to Southport, North Carolina after fleeing from her husband, Kevin's house. Erin fell in love with Kevin and they got married but just after a few years of marriage, Erin discovered how obsessed he is with himself and how he wants total control over her moves and her life.  She felt suffocated in his house. She wasn't even al
