This one really wasn’t for me unfortunately. But I appreciated the chance to read it.

I think the hype for the book was a lot bigger than the actual story unfortunately

I loved this book. Not as much as PS I love you but it was still really good. The characters were well written and the storyline good. There wasn’t one character I didn’t like or couldn’t relate to in some way or form. What Holly did you can easily imagine happening in real life and it makes you think about the future and what you’ll leave behind. It made me laugh and cry but in the whole was beautifully written.

As a follow up to PS I Love You Holly is persuaded to help terminally ill patients leave something to their families to remember then by, They hope it will help them through the first months after their deaths. Although I’m not sure how I would feel to be the recipient of something like that the story is told really thoughtfully and touchingly and the characters portrayed very convincingly.
I really enjoy this author’s books.

Seven years ago Holly's world fell apart when her childhood sweetheart Gerry died but, she has followed his last wishes and begun to build a new life for herself. Following a podcast, which took place in her sister's vintage shop, about Gerry's letters she is contacted by a group called the PS, I Love You Club, asking for her help and she fears all the good work that she's done to move on with her life will unravel if she becomes involved with them, but can she deny them their dying wishes?

Well, what can I say about Postscript? I read PS I Love You, which I thought was a fabulous read, and this one back to back whilst book one was still fresh in my mind and to begin with I wasn't sure how the sequel was going to pan out, sometimes when first books are so well loved its hard to keep that momentum going with a follow up, but this one did not disappoint. I loved catching up with Holly again and seeing how she was faring with life 'without Gerry' and, against the judgement and advice from her family and friends, how she threw herself into helping others, even at the risk of harming herself, could The PS Club be exactly what she needed? Postscript was everything you'd want, and more from a sequel, the author shook me to the core, reduced me to tears many times and left me wrung out through this one. Another emotionally charged read from Ahern which I highly recommend, but you'll need tissues!

PS, I Love You and Beyond:

Cecelia Ahern's much-awaited sequel to the beloved PS, I Love You, delivers another emotional rollercoaster ride through the power of love.

The novel is set seven years after Holly Kennedy's husband, Gerry, died, and begins with the sudden emergence of a group inspired by Gerry's letters, the PS, I Love You Club. Despite her desire to remain in the life she's created for herself in the intervening years, Holly soon finds herself drawn back into her old world.

With a host of memorable characters, Ahern expertly captures the full range of emotions, from love to loss and from sadness to hope, as Holly, and each of the members of the PS, I Love You Club grapple with their individual stories of loss and longing. The novel is ultimately a story of self-discovery, as each character learns to accept the inevitability of life, while also learning to embrace its beauty.

PS, I Love You and Beyond is an incredibly moving, thought-provoking, and at times heart-breaking novel, but it is also an ode to the healing power of friendship and love. Highly recommended.

Do I feel like a needed a follow up to PS I Love You? No, not really, but im so glad I listened to it as it was fun, well and sad, very sad, but also hopeful.
The book opens with Holly 6 years after the end of book 1 finishes, she is with a new partner and about to help her sister with her podcast. What happens next is set to unravel everything though.
I really enjoyed this book, yes it deals with death a lot, but it all felt hopeful and I loved spending more time with Holly and her friends.
It left me with a smile on my face and made me think of loved ones lost, but also time we spent together. A lovely read.

I'm afraid this book wasn't really my thing. I haven't read PS I Love You, so I felt at a bit of a disadvantage. It was all a bit emotional for me, and completely unbelievable. I'm sure that people who are more warm-hearted than me will love it though.

I feel incredibly lucky to have been granted this wish, so thank you to the publisher for that!

I was a little bit hesitant going in, as I loved PS I Love You so, so much. But I really needn't have been.

I love that Postscript gave us closure, and it was lovely to revisit characters that I have not spent time with in forever.

After his passing, Holly’s hubby had prewritten letters for her to open and read. He always ended with PS, I love you. She discussed this during her sisters Podcast. Never did she expect this to become a club of terminal disease patients to help each other write their own letters for after their passing.

Holly wanted nothing to do with these people. She struggled to get back on her feet after Gerry died and now they want her to go back to all that on her own free will? Absolutely not!

Except she does. She has a pull towards helping these people. They want to make sure their loved ones are taken care of and that they’re never forgotten. Some are older and hun remission. Another is a young teenage mother who can’t read, let alone write her child a letter.

Holly gets pulled into these people’s lives and families. She tries to help without being a hindrance to their already strained families. She gets close to them and her he least breaks again and again as they pass on.

Postscript is an emotional book. It’s hard to not put yourself in Holly’s shoes. It’s hard to not care what’s happening with those in the PS, I love you club. it’s very difficult for me to get through this read without a box of tissues and snot smeared everywhere.

I give this book 5 out of 5 tiaras. How can I not? I’ve been sucked into this PS, I love your club and wonder how can I be there for people in my own community who’s going through such loss!?!

I enjoyed this book far more than I expected. I thought the first story was quite a let-down because I had such high hopes. Therefore, approaching the sequel with curious trepidation, I was pleasantly surprised at how Ahern directs this next story.

Returning to Holly several years down the line, life seems to have moved on. I think this was one of the appealing elements to the story: readers are not observing immature, drunken antics of Holly and her friends. Instead, they are presented as more settled – even if her friends still seem to have their own personal heartaches.

Holly is in a new relationship. I really struggled to keep up with Gabriel, simply because his name starts with the same letter as her deceased husband. Furthermore, Gerry remains omnipresent in the story and I think the similarity is likely a deliberate choice from Ahern to reflect the influence that Gerry has over Holly’s life. In my opinion, Gabriel is quite a bland character but I wonder if this is merely how Holly sees him, constantly making comparisons with Gerry – even though she does not realise she does this so often.

Gerry’s letter writing legacy lives on in this novel, this time with several terminally ill patients who want to leave a reminder behind for their loved ones. Inspired by what Gerry did, Holly finds herself helping these people create their own messages for loved ones. As you would expect, it makes for a very emotional read, especially as I became more attached to the ill characters. Indeed, I found it interesting how it provokes ideas of how we want to be remembered after we die, what memories we wish to leave with loved ones, and how much death can dominate our decisions. Morbid and sad it may be, I thought it was an interesting theme that Ahern weaves into the narrative.

There is definite closure with this story and I felt that Holly had finally grown as a person, using her experience to help herself and others. Although I found the backbone to the story to be quite sad and it brought tears to my eyes, it was beautifully written and very thoughtful. Not being so focused on Holly made for a more interesting narrative, especially as the people she helps are all so varied.

Therefore, if you enjoyed the first story, I don’t think fans will be disappointed by the sequel. There is closure for all in this fitting conclusion and I liked how we still had small flashbacks to Gerry’s past, like it is him driving the narrative, rather than Ahern.

With thanks to Harper Collins? and NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I have to admit this was not my favourite of Cecelia's books. I found it an easy and comforting read, and it was lovely to be invited back into that world, but it didn't quite marry up to the hype for me. It takes pride of place on my bookshelf next to all her other books, but can honestly say it isn't one I would feel the need to read again. A great book, an easy read, but not one I feel is particularly note worthy.

Taking the reader right back to the pain and joy of P.S I love you, we revisit Holly Kennedy. She has been reluctantly drawn into helping out a club where the members want to give their own personal postscripts to loved ones, and finding this difficult, the reader goes with Holly on another kind of journey.

I thoroughly enjoyed revisiting Holly – she is like an old friend from the past and unlike some sequels, this was written with care and love for the characters.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and thank Cecelia Ahearn for the chance to be with Holly again. I highly recommend this book and the author.

What a beautiful sequel to a heart felt story. Holly has moved on after her love Gerry died. She tells her story at a podcast event her sister holds and someone hears her who needs her help.

Holly starts a new club to help other people who were in Gerry’s position. Her family don’t agree with what she is doing at first but they soon see it is good for Holly.

A heart breaking story of people coming together when they most need to.

Initially apprehesive about revisiting Holly, seven years after Gerry's death, I'd put off reading Postscript. Alas, slumping hard, I needed a contemporary read and pulled Postscript out of my tbr jar, and I'm so glad that I did.

Returning to Holly's world was like meeting an old friend. The same cast were still with her after all tat thie, whilst we also got to meet some new characters. I thought that the plot was cleverly done, after initially being unsure, and felt that Holly's actions and reactions were spot on.

I must admit to shedding more than a few tears at certain points, but it was definitely in hope rather than sorrow, but there were some of those too.

Well plotted, engaging, with likeable characters - definitely recommend.

I absolutely loved this book. A brilliant sequel to ps I love you.
I throughly enjoyed ps I love you but I actually enjoyed this more.
It was great finding out what happened next in holly’s life.

A fantastic sequel and so good to catch up with Holly again. I always wondered how a sequel would actually play out but this works so well.

Oh lord. Grab some tissues before you read although it’s not all heart rending .😁
This is a great read

Oh wow make sure you have a box of tissues near by when you read this book. I read P.S I Love You a few years back. When I saw that Cecelia Ahern had written a sequel, I was intrigued. Would the sequel match up to the orginal? Or would it be a case of like many sequels, its lacking something from the orginal. In my opinion Cecelia Ahern wrote an emotional sequel that kept the reader glued to the story. Postscipt finds Holly seven years on from the loss of Gerry. She is in a new relationship with Gabriel. Working in her sisters shop. Ciara her sister persuades Holly to speak on a podcast about grief. Holly reluctantly agrees, talking about the letters Gerry left her after he died. Her words inspire a woman called Angela who desperately tries to get Holly to join her P.S I Love You club. Holly doesn't want anything to do with her or the club. She doesn't want to relive a dark time in her life.
When members of the group keep turning up in Holly's world she has to make a decision. Will she walk away or help the dying members? This book will stay with you long after you turn the last page.
You might even see things differently afterwards. Highly recommended read, pick up a copy.

The thing with sequels to brilliant books is that I'm always going to be comparing it to the first book. Fortunately, Postscript lives up to the first in the series and can easily be read as a stand-alone if you so wished.

This is a heartwarming read that takes place seven years after Holly's husband Gerry died. Her husband sent her letters to encourage her to make new memories, create a new life and move on. When she speaks about the letters her husband gave her following his passing, a group of people who have terminal illnesses want her support to do what Gerry did and write their own letters to their loved ones. Soon the PS I Love You club is born and Holly finds herself torn about how emotionally invested she wants to become with them and whether getting involved is the right decision for her.

A wonderfully uplifting story that will tug at your heartstrings. You'll not want the story to end.

The sequel to the bestseller PS I love you 🙌🏼 It’s been 7 years since Holly Kennedy’s husband died - 6 since she read his final letter, urging Holly to find the courage to forge a new life. Holly is approached by a group of people who call themselves the PS I love you club, they have been inspired to write letters to their loved ones as they all have a terminal illness ✨ I absolutely loved this book. I laughed, smiled and cried as the story developed. It has new characters who each have their part to play in Holly’s life. Beautifully written and I really hope a film will be made. Highly recommend. PS, have tissues to hand 💛
