We return to Holly Kennedy in this sequel to “P.S I Love You “ it’s been seven years since she lost her husband Gerry to cancer. She has slowly started to rebuild her life again, dating and considering moving in with Gabriel.

Holly’s sister Ciara persuades her to take part in her podcast about coping with grief, where she talks about how her letters from Gerry helped her in the throes of grief. Afterwards Angela Carberry tries to persuade her to write a book about her experiences, when she declines she sends her a business card with the words “P.S I Love You Club” printed on it. She is furious she used Gerry’s saying, that is very dear to her.

I was so engrossed with this book I did not realise I only received the sample.. What I read has intrigued me to purchase the full title.

Full review to come .

Thank you to Netgalley for my copy in exchange for a review.

A 2-chapter taster of the follow up to PS I love you.
I don't know of a single person who is not dying to get their hands on this book.

This is going to fly off the shelves.

I devoured this taster as I loved the first novel. I have read a few of her books since then but none resonated as much as PS I Love You. I am hoping to get the book for my upcoming 50th birthday. Can’t wait

Although this was only a preview, I was instantly grasped by the story and the terrifically good plot. The part I read was a five-star read for me. Very excited and looking forward to reading more that's for sure! I think this will be equally as good as P. S. I Love You and also be one of my favourite reads of the year.

Somehow missed that this read now version was just a taster, left me wanting more. Still awaiting a reply on my request for the full version so will have to wait until I can afford it on amazon now.

Thank you so much for allowing me to read this gem of a book - thoroughly enjoyable from beginning to end. Didn't want it to end. The perfect romantic follow-up.

Absolutely wonderful, a perfect sequel.
I first read PS I love you when in hospital having given birth to my daughter. To this day I swear that book got me through the baby blues as it was an outlet for my emotions & an excuse to bawl my eyes out. 15 years later I was thrilled to read the sequel and meet up once again with Holly and her friends & family and to read about how life has moved on in the intervening years. I expected some tears & some chuckles along the way and was not disappointed.
Cecilia Ahern is such a gifted writer, this book was so easy to read & had me hooked from the first page. I absolutely loved it.

I must admit I was a bit dubious when I heard that there was going to be a sequel to the much loved P.S. I love you - a hard act to follow even after the years that had passed but I needn’t have worried - this book is as good as it’s predecessor if not slightly better. I laughed and I cried and then l laughed a little more.

It is now seven years since Gerry died and six years since Holly read his last letter to her. She feels she has moved on and is now working in her sister’s vintage shop where, against her better judgement she has agreed to do a session for a few people and a ‘Podcast’ on grief and Gerry’s letters. What she isn’t prepared for is the effect that doing this will have on her and the life she has carefully built since Gerry’s death.

When she becomes aware of a group of people calling themselves the ‘P.S. I Love You Club’ she decides enough is enough and agrees to meet with them just the once to tell them she doesn’t want involved. Then she meets them and hears their stories. Will spending time with them undo all the good she has done in the last seven years or will it help her take the final steps she needs to move on.

I can not recommend this book enough. So go now and get a copy, clear your diary and get absorbed in the next chapter in Holly’s life - you won’t regret it.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced read copy of this book in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

A good premise to follow on from the last book a number of years later, I always want to know what happens to characters “after”. Just the right amount of fiction with a believable storyline.

Thanks for allowing me to review this book

I loved PS I Love You which took me on such an emotional rollercoaster journey I was so excited to receive this next book and then disappointed when I realised that it was just a taster.
So far the taster has shown that it is going to be another well written emotional story and It will be lovely to connect with the lovely Holly again and to see how she has moved forward with her life.
I feel very excited and look forward to reading the full book.
As I haven’t had the opportunity to read the full book I feel unable at this moment to post my reviews in my usual places.

It will be lovely to connect with the lovely Holly again to see how she has moved forward with her life.It will be lovely to connect with the lovely Holly again to see how she has moved forward with her life.

Over the years I’ve read a lot of Cecelia Ahern’s books, and there hasn’t been one that I’ve not enjoyed reading. I was so please to get a sampler of her latest book Postscript.


Postscript follows on from P.S. I Love You that was published in 2004, it was also adapted into a movie, of the same name in 2007.

I read P.S. I Love You when it was published and I really really enjoyed it. You were taken along on Holly Kennedy’s emotional journey of loss and love, and from the sampler of Postscript this book seem to be equally as captivating as P.S. I Love You.

We meet Holly again Seven years after her husbands death and six years after she read his last letter. Which helped her to look toward a future with out him. During the last six year Holly has been putting her life back together.

Three years ago Ciara, Holly’s sister opened a vintage second hand shop called Magpie. Where Holly has been working along side her. They also use the shop as an event space, where her sister records a podcast in front of an audience. Her podcasts are called “How to Talk about…”

This month her podcast is called “How to Talk about Death” and she manages to talk Holly in to talking about her experience of loosing her husband Gerry, and the letters he left her.

After the podcast has been recorded one of Magpie’s greatest supporters Angela who donates her designer clothes, bags and jewellery and who probably keeps Magpie going. Keeps trying to persuade Holly to keep telling her story to a group of people who call themselves “P.S. I Love You Club.

Even though this was a sample of the book, I can’t wait to get my own copy of Postscript as I’m looking forward to see how the story continues.

PS:I love you is definitely one of the most favourite books/movies of all time for many people, me including.
I loved this book so much for so many reasons. The author has once again shown what means for us to carry on with our life because the grief and despair feelings will be there always in our hearts, our love for the lost ones will never change no matter what happens.
I loved that she’s trying to get a new life and live the new adventures that life is throwing her way with ups and downs, with new friends and memories.
