Title: Disappointing read, but the list idea is great!
Product review: I admit I'm not a fan of Bridget Jones. But I love Mariann Keyes and Carole Matthews if that helps! I was curious about the hype for PS I Love You. Probably shouldn't have read it after 'Crow Lake' and 'The Five People You Meet in Heaven', though. Ms Ahern's writing is very ' clunky': even amateurish in places. I know she's 22. And publishing a debut novel at that age is a huge achievement. But then Zadie Smith was 21 when she wrote White Teeth ..... (I think!)I loved the idea of the list. Thought that was so original. But something never clicked for me as to why list making was so important to their relationship. Was Holly disorganized? She didn't seem so ...Sharon and Denise were great! As was the funky baby sister with her pink hair. The secondary characters were the reason I finished the book. Holly, the heroine, never seemed three dimensional to me.Honestly? I couldn't recommend it. Sorry!
