But he had this habit to call me with petnames when he was mad at me. He'd call me cutie pie, honeydew, love, well you know...petnames like that. I asked his reason once, and he said : "So you'll know no matter how mad I was to you, I still love you" (Yeah...I know that's cheesy) THE WRITING STYLE. the characters aren’t written like real teenagers, it’s written like a 47 year old woman trying to figure out what teenagers sound like and failing absolutely miserably. There is absolutely nothing wrong with returning to the house you grew up in every now and again. It's good for the soul." I could forgive the destiny for taking away someone who has a very bright future ahead in such a young age.

everything in this book was either predictable or i’ve seen it done a thousand times. the “my parents are divorced and i’m scared of love so i just hate it wahwah”, the godforsaken coming out storyline (listen, i get it, i’m gay i relate trust me, BUT IT DOESNT NEED TO BE IN EVERY LGBTQ+ BOOK DAMNIT), not to mention the fact that i knew kate, myrah and tom had set sophia & emma up from the beginning so that story wasn’t interesting whatsoever. A decade after their marriage, Gerry develops a headache. He goes to the doctor and the news is devastating. He has brain cancer and his prognostic is terminal.

I believe that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them."

I finally got cranky enough to quit when the whole peer group blows up, subverting the very activity they're supposedly very serious about. It was already a stupid conceit that six people could create a film that could stand up to national competition. Anyone thinking they could do it with three is beyond delusional. And that's before you have Sophia running around saying "artsy films do better in competitions". Which is true, probably, but define "artsy" (hint: anyone who can create an "artsy film" doesn't call it that and anyone who calls it that can't create one). For me, he's not just a boyfriend. He was also my bestfriend, my dream keeper, my most loyal supporter, my soulmate, or to sum it in one word: my significant-other. Very emotional, at times possibly overwritten, Holly has lost the love of her life. Childhood sweethearts, Holly chose love and marriage over career and travel. Sublimely happy in their relationship, she is heartbroken when a brain tumour takes her beloved before turning 30. Feels good to get through my physical copies, this one has been on my list and my bookshelf for 8 years. I watched the movie many years ago, but my memory of this means I can only recall the bare bones. This story is quite simple, and those bare bones are pretty much it.She had been given a wonderful gift: life. Sometimes it was cruelly taken away too soon, but it's what you did with it that counted, not how long it lasted." Besides being extremely shallow and having no hobbies or interests whatsoever, Holly was also depressed (understandable). Some stuff happened, some stuff with family and friends occurred, some absolutely unrelated to the plot stuff was also included, some parts were told from different POV with no transition or such... Friends, family, vacation, man named Daniel, grief. And some more grief.

After being obsessed with the movie for months, I decided to take the plunge and read the book. Finally. And I can tell you that the book was equally as satisfying but completely different to the Gerard Butler perv-fest that I so dearly love. At the beginning of P.S. I Love You, Gerry is already dead. It has been two months since he passed away. Holly is immersed in a grief so profound that nothing can make her leave her house. Her family tries, her friends Sharon and Denise try. All is in vain.I wish there would’ve been less focus on the straight relationships of this book because I wanted it to centre more around the development of Sophia and Emma’s relationship. I loved the conflict surrounding Sophia and Emma with their parents. That’s also what I wanted the focus on. Don't read this novel if: You think you could feel disconcerted or upset by the intense, overwhelming grief Holly is struggling to come to terms with. Come on, rom-com fans, you know what will happen. But this is an emotional story, so there’s drama, misunderstandings, and tension afoot and there are secrets to be revealed. In a lot of ways the book feels like a rom-com, but it also resonated for me in a number of ways. Wouldn’t receiving a “Things I Love About You” list make your heart melt?! A physical list like this can hold amazing memories, so we created everything you need to create such a cherished list in the form of a book! Man holding his “Reasons Why I Love You” book with lots of reasons why she loves him How to Make a “Reasons Why I Love You” Book This is a sweet story, but a little boring and predictable. Considering how little bisexual representation there is in fiction, I'm pretty happy with that aspect, but I even found this element a little watered down.

what do u call a ya novel where you hated both of the main characters? bad. you call it bad. hated this book sm that i texted isaiah to make sure that their film stuff was accurate bc i needed more reasons to dislike this book. their problems just seemed to DUMBBBBBB also sophia’s whole thing where she hates love bc her parents got divorced? stupidddddd like bruh youre 16 and youre just gonna??? claim love ever existed???? love is dead ig. but then its SO easy to change her mind. also!!!! let’s get into it shall we ? going into this book obviously the cover is gorgeous and i mean the plot sounded fairly interesting enough, sapphic enemies to lovers who are rivals in a film competition yes please ! however, i have yet to be more disappointed than i was with this book.

Creative Play

i used to never read light-hearted books, especially not romcoms, so i'm trying to get into them more and this definitely was one that made me so incredibly happy! i found myself actually loving just reading without thinking too much, you know? the whole of the enemies to lovers storyline. so in my experience, enemies to lovers can work one of two ways 1. diehard, stone cold hatred or 2. strong dislike usually with petty arguments and fun banter. i believe this book was supposed to be the latter but it just fell flat (like everything else in this book). they talk about how mean they are to each other but tbh they’re just annoying and petty. Your charming ways! It doesn’t matter if we are laughing or arguing, it comes out and makes us both smile.
