I actually cannot believe I have just read Postscript the sequel to the hugely successful PS, I Love You, a story that has sold millions of copies all over the world and was turned into a major film. I remember reading PS, I Love You and crying lots so I made sure I had a box of hankies ready when I started Postscript.
We join Holly seven years after Gerry’s death, she’s been in a relationship with Gabriel for two years and is slowly learning to be herself again. Working in her sister Ciara’s vintage shop she’s thrown when Ciara asks her to take part in a podcast titled ‘Let’s talk about death’. Talking about Gerry’s letters and how they’ve helped her to move on, Holly doesn’t realise how inspiring the letters are to others until she’s asked to help out with the PS, I Love You club, a club made up with people that want to leave letters behind for their loved ones, a club that is made up of people with illnesses that will end their lives, a club that Holly knows she should avoid if she wants to continue healing but feels drawn to.
It was so nice being back with Holly again, I think anyone who has read PS, I Love You will have a little place in their heart for her and I loved this new journey she’s embarked on. I won’t go into detail about any of the members of the club but each one is special, each one has a story and I loved how each one wanted to leave a piece of themselves behind for the ones they love. I think the one character who will stay with me is Ginika, a strong young lady who is determined and brave.
Grief affects everyone in different ways and it can sneak up at any given moment and Ahern does a beautiful job of showing this, I saw myself in Holly so many times and it was comforting to read.
Yes you will definitely need a box of hankies when you read Postscript but there were so many joyous and funny moments throughout the book too. It’s a real mixture of emotions but it really filled my heart with so much love and warmth. The characters all come to life and although there is sadness I loved getting to know them and following their journey.
Postscript is a story that made me feel so much love, it brought back memories of loved ones lost and yes that made me sad but when I finished the book it made me realise just how much we change after the death of a love one, how much everything changes but we learn over time to go with it. It also made me realise how important it is to tell the ones we love just how much we love them.
If you haven’t read PS, I Love You then don’t worry as there is enough information in Postscript to keep you up to date but I do recommend it too as it’s a blooming good read.
Postscript is definitely a book that will be in my top ten this year, it’s a story that had me hooked but it’s a story that I really didn’t want to rush, I wanted to enjoy slowly and savour every single word. It’s a very special story that gets a million stars from me

An amazing preview and I can't wait to read the full sequel to P.S. I love you. I'm hooked already. Cecilia Aherne at her very best.
This book completely broke me and simultaneously put me back together. A brilliant sequel to P.S. I Love You.
I really wanted to like this. I loved P.S. I love you. It was funny and emotional. Postscript picks up 6 years later and I'm just disappointed. It felt so repetitive to me. I understand grief is something everyone processes differently, but damn. It cannot be healthy to still be letting it affect every part of your life 6 years later...
Really enjoyed this, a bit of an emotional journey. Makes you appreciate that life is short, so enjoy it.

Postscript by Cecelia Ahern is written as a sequel to the story of Holly, figuring out and rebuilding life, 7 years after the death of her husband Gerry who wrote letters to her to help her move on. I was excited for this one and wanted to love this book as I adored PS I love you, but unfortunately I didn’t. The book starts pretty slow, with first 100 pages of confused Holly deciding whether she should help the ‘PS I love you club’ or not. The book gradually develops stride, there are some moving and emotional parts as well, yet feels quite underwhelming. Overall, it missed the mark for me.
PS. The cover of the book is beautiful!

Beautiful sequel we didn't know we needed. Filled my heart to read again this very loved characters in such an inspiring and touching new turn of story. Cecelia did it again. Loved every part of it.
Fans of P.S. I Love you will be thrilled with this next chapter in Holly Kennedy's life. Several years have passed since the events in the first book, and Holly is confronted with the old memories and feelings when she agrees to talk about the experience on her sister's podcast. The podcast is a hit, and Holly suddenly finds that her help is requested by terminally ill people seeking to create their own version of Gerry's letters.
There are plenty of tears, both happy and sad, and I think most readers will be satisfied with how Holly turns out. Several new characters are introduced, and overall the general feeling is more happy than sad.
