Wow!! This is quite simply one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever read.
I am a huge fan of P.S. I love you (both the book and film) and was beyond excited when I heard about this sequel. P.S. I love you follows Holly, as she tries to navigate life after the death of her husband Gerry. Gerry lends a hand, with monthly letters (10 in total) guiding her through the rest of the year after his death in February. Each letter ends with ‘P.S. I love you’.
This sequel moves forward 7 years. Holly has found love again and is getting on with her life, when her participation in a podcast changes everything. She later gets caught in a whirlwind with a new group- The P.S. I love you club. Postscript follows her journey with this new group, as Holly helps the clubs members and remembers old times with Gerry (both when he was alive and the year following his death where she received his letters).
This is one of the rare occasions when I think I may have loved the sequel even more than the first novel (it was at least equal to P.S. I love you). I always loved the original book for its unique take on a love story, but this book took it so much further.
The theme of leaving something behind for loved ones when you pass is beautiful. Each of the members of the club has an original take on what they want to do. So much of the book was heart-wrenching and emotional. This story has such a personal side for me, after dealing with serious medical issues 8 years ago that have started to crop up again recently, it’s made me think poignantly about my loved ones. I’m sure there are many others that this book will touch in a similar way.
Cecelia Ahern has such a gift for writing unique and meaningful stories. Her writing is so easy to read, and the book is continuously flowing. I would highly recommend this novel and I really hope that one day another book will join this series!
