This was... a boring book. Everything felt dragged out and simply not interesting. Read the first 150 pages then skipped parts and read bits of the ending.

I liked the idea of this story, but for some reason it just didn't engross me like the first book.
I was expecting way more tears than I actually shed while reading this (strangely it was the football letter that got me the most!)

PS, I Love You was quite unlike any book I'd read at the time (2005) and being in my early twenties, I found it deeply touching. So I was intrigued to see a sequel.
While it was lovely to revisit Holly and her motley crew of supporters, the story didn't tug on my heartstrings as much as the first - which makes me sound heartless, because so much of the story is very sad and deals with grief, death, legacy, family, etc. But the emotional connection just wasn't as strong for me this time. Perhaps because I could detect an element of self-consciousness in the storytelling this time, and was always very aware I was reading a sequel, rather than losing myself in the story and the characters the way I did the first time.
Having said that, it's an enjoyable read (if that's the right word) for the most part.
With thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for an ARC.

This is my second Cecelia Ahern novel, the first be PS, I Love You. Postscript is the follow up story of Holly's journey after her husband died. Set 7 years after his death, Cecelia takes us on Holly's new journey of finding eventual peace. This book have closure to the original story with love, compassion and determination. Certainly won't be my last of Cecelia's novels.
