Having read PS. I Love You some seven years ago, I was initially a little puzzled about the concept of a sequel. However, as soon as I began Postscript I was immersed in Holly's new journey without Gerry and her reluctance to get involved with the PS. I Love You club for fear of the damage and hurt it could cause all over again. Though she had such mixed feelings, she slowly found herself being drawn in and connecting with the terminally ill people in the group, wanting to help them. It was impossible not to cry at some of the events but although death is in itself a heartbreaking subject, the story also had lighter moments with lovely touches of humour. Ultimately, it was a tale of hope and of moving forward after a bereavement and finding a new 'normal'. I loved the idea of the club and the thought of very personal letters being left to close friends and family who would take comfort from the gesture.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book - both the highs and the lows, and what could have been a very depressing story actually turned out to be uplifting and positive.
