"The story book I would love to be trapped in"

If there was ever a book that I would liked to be trapped in, the book will be "P.S. I love you" by Cecelia Ahern.
Before I explain why, I'll start with a brief summary of the book. The book is about how a woman, Holly, copes with her life after the death of her husband, Gerry. But before Gerry left, he wrote some letters for Holly, 12 in total, for each of the months after he died. The letters he wrote guided her back into the real world, each of the letters he wrote gave her courage to face the world alone. Here is the last of the letters:

Don't be afraid to fall in love again. Open your heart and follow where it leads you... and remember, shoot for the moon...
P.S. I will always love you...

The reason why I wanted to be trapped in this books is because of the wonderful memories shared between Holly and Gerry. They were childhood sweethearts, they could finish each other's sentences and even when they fought, they laughed. Even when Gerry's dying, all he could think about is Holly. Their love for each other transcends all boundaries, even death. Holly's love for Gerry helped her cope with the problems she faced after Gerry's death. Gerry's love for Holly guided her and cheered her up.

Every single page of the book was filled with the memories of Gerry and Holly; some happy and some sad. Every scene in the book talks about love and romance. It is a never ending story that lives in my mind even after a few months since I read it. I would love to relive those moments when Gerry and Holly were still young; how they had their honeymoon. And how Holly stood beside Gerry's bed and cried when he left.

And if possible, I want to find some who will share memories with me like how Gerry and Holly did. There's also a movie about this book which I'm suppose to watch with someone special a year ago, but I missed the chance to do so. And after reading the book, I found out how fragile life is, anytime could happen, at anytime. Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to say how much I love this particular girl, and how important she is to me. I've probably said it a thousand times before and I'm still not afraid to say another thousand times, or even a million times more.

P.S. Bimbo, I love you
