I finally picked up Postscript from off my shelf after it’s been sat there for over a year and that’s thanks to Tandem Collective UK for hosting the #PostscriptReadalong
Before I started, I was worried that I should’ve re-read PS I Love You as it had been years since I’d read it, but with a tbr of over 300, I felt I couldn’t justify it, but honestly you don’t need to re-read it if you don’t want to. As soon as I started, I slotted right back in to Holly’s life with ease.
I loved that Cecelia Ahern brought back the same characters that we loved from the first book, we got to see how Holly’s sister Ciara was doing, as well as her friends Sharon and Denise. But there was also a new person, Gabriel, Holly’s boyfriend. I won’t lie, I found it hard to warm to him. I’m not 100% sure why, he seemed okay, somethings he did annoyed me, but I think I just felt this loyalty to Gerry that to me he couldn’t replace.
Postscript brings Gerry’s letters back into Holly’s life in a completely new way. After hearing her story, a small group of terminally ill people felt inspired by Gerry and have created the PS I Love You Club, where they’re writing their own letters to their loved ones for when the time comes, but they want to enlist Holly to help them.
As you can imagine, it’s an emotional read, I cried several times, once simply over different types of paper and stationary. That’s how good Cecelia Ahern writes. She had me bawling over paper! I loved being back in Holly’s life, and in a way, Gerry’s too. I loved the relationships Holly formed with the group, but my most favourite had to be Ginika and a Jewel. It was such a beautiful thing to read and made me feel all the emotions for them.
I absolutely adored this. It’s times like these I look at the book and think, why have I let you sit unread for so long, and what other books like this are waiting on my shelf?! It was such a beautifully written emotional read that I loved from start to finish. Thank you Tandem for starting the #PostscriptReadalong and for encouraging me to finally pick it up, I just wish I hadn’t waited so long. 💙
