Jennie Jacques Instagram – #psiloveyou is a comforting read ♥️ 🫖 despite the subject of great loss. Holly (protagonist) loses her soulmate/high school sweetheart, Gerry, to a brain tumour. His death (the antagonist) ultimately revels in its role throughout. BUT, dear Gerry has left his darling Holly an unthinkable gift 🎁 On her first birthday without him, the big 3-0, she opens a letter ✉️ – from him! For the next 10 months, despite no longer being in the realm of planet Earth 🌍 he has pre-planned activities, adventures & ultimately “guidance” through that first horrific year of grief 🥹 ^*Spoiler alert – he even books her & her mates a holiday! 🌊 ☀️ It’s a profound concept & the book is different enough from the movie to 💯 recommend reading it 📖 – even if (like me!) you’ve seen the film 12x over haha. It’s not the 1st time I’ve opened this book either! Though far fetched at times, to heighten the entertainment, that’s exactly why I love it. Ahern narrates something lighthearted with a clever touch of comedy 🎭 during a heavy (& heart wrenching situation) without negating the dreaded weight that comes with the death of a loved one. Main message, easier said than done, is life goes on & it’s for living 💥 Holly’s one of four siblings – each very different from one & other – which adds further colour & texture to the novel. Plus, she has two fabulous girlfriends 👯‍♀️ who are given their own stories too! I liked that each of Ahern’s characters had their own arc, with out stealing the show from Holly – the ultimate Karaoke 🎤 Queen 👸 Princess of clumsiness. I won’t give too much away, but if you want an easy & enchanting read this summer, go grab yaself a copy! PS 😜 it’s set in #ireland where we filmed @historyvikings – a place forever close to my heart ❤️ I’m reading #themarblecollector next! PPS – @official_ceceliaahern sorry I realise I’ve used an i instead of an e in your name!
