I mean what can I say, I would never have believed it could be anywhere near as good as PS I love you...I was wrong! It was beautifully written, poignant, heartwrenching and inspiring. Loved it!

I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about this after so long had passed since PS I Love You but it absolutely hit the right note. The PS I Love You club was a good spin on it and I was very much invested in the journeys and stories of the founding members of the club. Was lovely and so emotional, without being gratuitous or exploiting the illness of the characters and was honestly just perfect - loved it. Thank you to Netgalley, the author and HarperCollins for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Beautiful book, excellently written. I was drawn in immediately and even though I haven’t read PS I Love You I never felt as though there were any gaps or missing background. Very emotional with trigger warnings of terminal illness however I really loved this read.

In this sequel to P.S. I Love You we find Holly, now seven years after the death of her husband Gerry. She’s rebuilt her life following the devastation of her loss when her sister, Ciara asks her to share her own experience, including Gerry’s letter to Holly, by taking part in her podcast interview on the subject of grief and loss. Despite being unsure about her participation, Holly goes ahead and is shocked by the response she receives from listeners wanting to know more about the letters.

This was an extremely emotional read, very well written with outstanding characters. Certainly a roller coaster of a read which I can highly recommend.

Thank you to Harper Collins UK and NetGalley UK for the review copy.

Having read and loved the first PS I Love You, I knew I would love this one too.

We join Holly 7 years after the death of Gerry. Her life has moved on and she is now in a relationship with Gabriel but Gerry and his letters are still a big part of her life.

Encouraged by her sister, Ciara, Holly does a podcast about her experience with grief and of course the PS I Love You letters. As a result several people coping with terminal illnesses form a group, the PS I Love You Group.

At first Holly declines an invite to the group but as time goes on will she help these people to leave something behind for their love ones after their death ? How will it affect Holly if she does help ?

This is a great sequel and really lives up to the first book. There will be plenty of tears whilst reading this but also plenty of smiles as well. A heartwarming and heart wrenching book all in one.

Thank you to HarperCollins UK and NetGalley for a digital copy of this book.

Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for allowing me to read this book.

Cecelia Ahern always creates such immersive stories and having devoured P.S. I Love you I banished the kids to Nanny and Grandads for the day, Mr was sent to the shed as I couldn't wait to curl up with this book. Unfortunately (and I know this will be hugely unpopular) I didn't love it. I found it hard going. Hollys boyfriend effectively has a strop (for me he displays very controlling/childish behaviour) about her decision to help the club, something which she agonised over. The interactions that Holly has with the members of club are quite bland, with one exception I wont spoil it but Holly goes out of way to help the youngest member of the club and this is the one element of the story that absolutely slayed me. I sobbed like a baby at the end of that part.

The premise of the story is fantastic and the scope to elevate it was there for the taking. Sadly (and very very unusually) I didn't love this book. Cecilia Ahern writes such outstanding stories that are intelligent, cleverly interwoven that will make you laugh and cry in equal measure that I feel this really isn't her best work.

It's been seven years since Holly Kennedy's husband died – six since she read his final letter, urging Holly to find the courage to forge a new life.

She’s proud of all the ways in which she has grown and evolved. But when a group inspired by Gerry's letters, calling themselves the PS, I Love You Club, approaches Holly asking for help, she finds herself drawn back into a world that she worked so hard to leave behind.

Reluctantly, Holly begins a relationship with the club, even as their friendship threatens to destroy the peace she believes she has achieved. As each of these people calls upon Holly to help them leave something meaningful behind for their loved ones, Holly will embark on a remarkable journey – one that will challenge her to ask whether embracing the future means betraying the past, and what it means to love someone forever (less)

As with all Celia Ahern's books, I find i can never put them down. They really are as good and effective as a hot drink and a cosy fire. I loved P.S I love you so was looking forward to the next installment and this didn't disappoint.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an advance copy of this book in return for an honest review.

Great book. I loved reading it. Very interesting and covers alot of information

I really loved this story, I have read others of Cecelia Ahern and she does know how to give a real sense of the emotions of her characters, I was completely swept up.

I loved PS I Love you and this book picks up Holly six years after her last letter from Gerry. She has been seeing Gabriel for a couple of years and she’s planning to move in with him, so her life after Gerry has continued.

Holly is working in a pre-loved shop run by her sister Caira, who does mic nights for a podcast. She asks Holly to speak about her experience of loss, of the letters and Gerry, The podcast catches the attention of Angela, who comes into the shop a few times to ask Holly to speak to the PS I love you club. It takes Holly a while to get her head around the request and when Holly decides to speak to Angela, she finds that it’s too late.
Holly gets drawn into the lives of the PS I love you club, slowly at first, reluctantly but she has a change of heart. By helping others, a holly revisits the messages from Gerry and re-evaluates herself.

I really enjoyed Postscript and fans of the previous book will love to hear about Holly again. I think you could also read as a stand-alone, but the first book is so lovely, I would read both.

Thank you to Netgalley, the Harper Collins and Cecelia Ahern for the opportunity to read this in exchange for an honest review.

Throughly enjoyed the second part of Hollys story.

You fall straight backing life with Holly about 6 years since the last letter from Gerry. Wonderful characters and a really easy heartwarming yet heartbreaking all rolled into one.

The original novel PS I Love You was definitely a five-star read. Very emotional and touching. It was beautifully written and offered an interesting view on grief and bereavement. It was even made into a successful Hollywood movie. So the expectations were pretty high for this long-awaited sequel.

Well, the verdict is in: this new book delivers on its promise! The plot is well thought-out, the cast of characters rich and diverse. I really liked how Holly evolved over the years. It’s moving and raw. Full of wisdom and hope. Tears and laughters.

I’m glad I got to read it because I had been rather disappointed by the latest publications by Cecelia Ahern. So it’s definitely appreciated to rediscover her writing style from the early days.

Overall, I highly recommend these 2 books!

I could not put this book down, what a perfect sequel to PS I Love You! This book was funny, sad and so well written, I adored it.
My favourite bit about the book were the twists and turns that kept me holding my breath. I will be recommending this to my book club and buying for family and friends at Christmas.

There is nothing better than an Cecelia Ahern book! Back in 2015 I picked up PS I Love You for the First time and instantly fell in love with Ahern's writing. She is my favourite author and one of the reason I fell in love with Literature as well. Now 20 years old I was over the moon to get the chance to read this book and it did not let me down.

I instantly fell back into the world like no time had passed. It was amazing to see the transition over the year and how smoothly both novels flow into one another. Although it was nice to see how the main characters developed, I adored the plot with the new PS I Love You members. I particulary liked how it had taken 6 years to get to this point as it didn't show that the grieving was so simple. Once again, Ahern represented the real facts of world beautiful in the novel.

For the last few chapters, I did nothing but silently cry as I couldn't put the book down. The way she gave justice to each person and represented a wide variety of people and ages affected by death showed the true nature of the world. The ending really brought the story full circle perfectly.

15 years on from Cecelia Ahern's stunning debut novel PS I Love You, she released Postscript. It's 7 years since Gerry passed away and Holly's letters from him ended. She has moved on with her life and has finally found some peace. When her sister Ciara convinces her to "appear" on her podcast to talk about the letters and how they helped Holly deal with Gerry's death suddenly there are terminally ill people who are inspired by Gerry and wish to do their own PS I Love You documents for their own loved ones. Holly has to decide whether she is strong enough to be involved and with it, come to terms that her beliefs of the letters she first opened may not have been intended in the way she originally thought.
I absolutely loved this book. I thought there was no way to create a sequel from PS I Love You, why would Cecilia do this, is she crazy? However this book provided the closure on Holly and Gerry that I hadn't even known I needed. It was just beautiful. The people Holly meets and their stories are just heartbreaking and I sobbed my way through most of it. I think the fact there was 15years between PS I Love You and Postscript gave Cecilia time to really develop her character's, only 7 years have passes by in the book and so much has changed in that time. Having had so long to look at how they have grown and developed over the 7 missing years made everything feel just right. There was no rushing it. The flow just worked beautifully. I am so glad I read this novel and for any fans of the original please go and snap this up!

With such a blockbuster in PS I Love you we expected a sequel, seven years later Holly comes back with Postscript, Holly has moved on she has a new boyfriend & is planning on moving in with him, then she meets the p.s I Love You club the members want her help to leave messages etc for their closest before they die , Holly goes on an emotional rollercoaster ride again and unfortunately it was a little predictable but still a very enjoyable read.

I read PS I love you years ago and loved it so was keen to read this. I was instantly hooked by Holly's story. Each character she met she made a difference to them and they in turn added to get story. An emotional read which highlights the importance of relationships whether family or friendships. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has ever lost anyone. An excellent read.

I was looking 9to reading this follow up to PS I love you but wondered if it would live up to expectations but I needn't have worried as it was a brilliant sequel. Reading about Holly and Gerry again and what she was doing now was so special, and beautifully written by Cecelia Ahern, and reading and reading about how her and her friends lives had changed since Gerry's death was so moving it reduced me to tears. A perfect emotional read

With thanks to NetGalley for an advance copy of this novel.

This was the perfect follow up and ending to the story of Holly and Gerry. Having read P.S I love you probably over 10 years ago i remembered the story well enough not to re-read.
The book was really enjoyable and followed Holly on her life post Gerry, the book was very emotional and delved into a range of Holly's emotions as she considered the effects of the P.S I love you club.

As always i really rate Ahern's writing style which is easy to follow and draws me in to the world of the characters

Synopsis:

When Holly lost her husband Gerry, he left letters for her to read after his death, all of them signed with PS, I Love You. These letters helped her go through the process of grief, get back on her feet and start to love again.

Now, years later, a mysterious club wants to meet her. And if Holly can find the courage to discover more, she’ll learn what living fully truly means.

My Thoughts of Postscript:

First of all, this is an emotional read, so aside from the book and a bookmark, you’ll also need tissues. Postscript will take you on a journey of self-discovery and teach you to love life again.

Without spoiling too much, I want to say that this book is incredible. It touches on the subject of death, and what people who know they’re dying can do to ease the pain for their families, but to also stay remembered a bit longer. Just like Gerry did for Holly. And through other people that Holly meets, she discovers a part of Gerry she never knew existed before.

“We don’t often remember how we met, we often remember how we parted.”

Holly is an incredible character that shows amazing character development. Her life is emotional and her choices make you wonder what you would have done if you were in her place. I also really loved Ginika and Jewel, as well as Denise. Cecelia Ahern has this amazing skill – to make you care about all the characters in her book, no matter how little they may be featured. I even found myself adoring Phillip, who only appeared in a few pages in the book.

Postscript is emotional and raw. But it’s also real and relatable to so many people, unfortunately. And I like to think that Holly gets the closure she needed and now she is able to finally fully move on. A true masterpiece that I wholeheartedly recommend.
