I loved this book! Becky’s journey was so fun and. Relatable! If only we all had the guts to tell people what really think …well Becky does and it leads to some very interesting storytelling. Pick this up if you want a fun escapist read. You won’t regret it

The hook of this book is magnificent. Appealing to the core of all of us, how many times have we wished we had the ability/strength to tell someone/some people exactly what we think of them? This exploration into what happens when we’re incentivised into this impulse makes for a joyous, comedic, hearty time with Becky and her brilliant ensemble within P.S. You’re The Worst.

Becky is the type of person that we all know or may even be. The person whose self-esteem has taken a knock because they feel like their failure to fulfil societal expectations by the age of 30. What I particular love about the way Chloe Seager has written this character is her lack of fear in giving Becky unlikeable moments. She’s a human being upending her life, not every single move she makes it going to be sunshine and Aperol Spritzes! This ability to give her these moments, but keep us readers on her side, is excellence defined, and I LOVE Becky as protagonist.

The other wonderful aspect of P.S. You’re The Worst is the roundedness of this journey. There’s many a trope in this genre to focus on romantic or friendship relationships, but Seager investigates romantic, friendship, familial, professional, even down to her relationship with strangers and people on the periphery. This gives the reader the understanding that the inciting event and hook of the novel has an effect on every aspect of Becky’s journey and makes it a top-notch read.

Angie, Dami, their partners, Max, Leila, Mum, Gavin, Margaret, Ted, and even Fran make up an exceptional cast of characters, all of whom both fill out the roles of many people I’m sure we’ve all encountered. Relatability is the heart of this novel, and Chloe Seager knows this, weaving it effortlessly throughout all these narrative plotlines. I, honestly, cannot pick a favourite secondary character, which tells you the quality of the characterisation.

P.S. You’re The Worst is the perfect end of year read, as you may find yourself thinking of your own life and it may inspire some goals and aims for 2026! While I debate who I may write letters to in the event of a dodgy tarot reading, I recommend you do yourself a favor and get pre-ordering P.S. You’re The Worst! You won’t regret it, I promise…
