I am so glad I had the chance to read Postscript by Cecelia Ahern as part of the bookstagram readalong. Thank you to Cecelia Ahern, Harper Collins and Tandem Collective UK for the gifted copy and this amazing opportunity. 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).

As I said above, I sobbed my heart out a total of FIVE times by the end of the book. I was so overwhelmed by Cecelia Ahern’s beautiful words and the way in which she made every character have a voice. Ahern didn’t gloss over anything, pretending that life was all rosy and that everything would magically be fine. Instead, she told the story of life for what it was; a journey of existence. A journey of power. A journey of emotional. A journey of constant memories. First of all, this is an emotional read, so aside from the book and a bookmark, you’ll also need tissues. Postscript will take you on a journey of self-discovery and teach you to love life again. Not to worry, if you have not read the first book, this can totally be read as a stand alone. The author clues you in to the content of the last book. Honestly I couldn't remember all the details of the first book since it was like well umm 15 years ago that I had read it. What I did remember is that it was about Holly dealing with Gerry's death and the letters he left her to open each month. OMGGG heartbreaking. Anyways Holly is finally starting to heal and move on in this book. She is finding her way and faced with a proposition...one that could help others deal with losing a loved one but is she up to it??? Does she want to revisit all these feelings? A must read book that will steal you’re heart and stay with you long after reading it. Have the tissues handy!!! Your information will be passed to and used by the following third parties who help us deliver our services:Cecelia Ahern wrote about the journey towards death and the grief that ensues with sensitivity and tangibility. She also wrote it in an uplifting style. She connected me to the characters and narratives with skill and affection. I am so glad that this second instalment came along and made it seem as though no years had passed since the last book. It’s seven years since Holly’s husband Gerry died from cancer and she’s finally moved on with her life; working in her sister Ciara’s second hand shop and planning on moving in with her boyfriend Gabriel. When Ciara arranges to record a podcast with Holly to discuss the letters Gerry left her after his death, signed ‘P.S. I Love You’, terminally ill patients are interested in gaining Holly’s advice to leave similar mementoes for their loved ones. Holly can’t decide if she wants to help, fearing old wounds will be opened and her grief reawakened. When her close friends and family have mixed advice, she tries to avoid becoming involved any further but she soon realises the recently formed ‘P.S. I Love You Club’ isn’t going to go away.

The following sections are commonly found in trade-published books, in different combinations: Front matter Now, years later, a mysterious club wants to meet her. And if Holly can find the courage to discover more, she’ll learn what living fully truly means.

I enjoyed taking this journey with Holly again. She has changed, she has grown. I must admit I was not a fan of her new man. Why I am not sure. I can see why he would feel the way he does but...yah not a fan of him though. Anyways I enjoyed this book even though it was sad at points....The first book is a must! I never did get a chance to review it as I don't know if Goodreads was even around that long ago. It seems like a lifetime ago! Thank you to the author for letting us see that Holly is on the mend even though it is still a struggle each day as it is with anyone that has lost a loved one. It doesn't really get easier, you just have to learn how to cope. Literary theorist and scholar Gérard Genette suggested that all the additional pieces of information that sandwich a story, such as author name, preface, and illustrations, actually have an effect on how we interpret the main text. He referred to this as “paratext.” What I liked about Holly in this book was that she was still a bit of a hot mess. She didn’t have it all together, even after all this time, showing this was just a personality trait. What I also loved reading about was Holly’s grief for Gerry and the life she lost. The grief that shone through was dulled down but with occasional acuteness and this seemed real. An introduction written by another person, usually a friend, family member, or scholar of the author's work to introduce the wider context of the piece or to set the reader up for what they’re about to read. The body of a book Gerry’s letter writing legacy lives on in this novel, this time with several terminally ill patients who want to leave a reminder behind for their loved ones. Inspired by what Gerry did, Holly finds herself helping these people create their own messages for loved ones. As you would expect, it makes for a very emotional read, especially as I became more attached to the ill characters. Indeed, I found it interesting how it provokes ideas of how we want to be remembered after we die, what memories we wish to leave with loved ones, and how much death can dominate our decisions. Morbid and sad it may be, I thought it was an interesting theme that Ahern weaves into the narrative.

Returning to Holly several years down the line, life seems to have moved on. I think this was one of the appealing elements to the story: readers are not observing immature, drunken antics of Holly and her friends. Instead, they are presented as more settled – even if her friends still seem to have their own personal heartaches.

At times I could not see the words as tears streamed down my face then in the next second I would roar with laughter. An emotional rollercoaster of a book, but one that is so beautifully written. I don’t think I’ve ever read a book that has affected me so much. (Well not since P.S I Love You) it made me think about my own mortality and of the people I have loved and lost. Any other final notes on the book; can be written by the author or by someone they know. Postscript Holly Kennedy at a very young age, very sadly lost her husband seven years ago through cancer. Her husband Gerry left her letters to be opened in the months after he passed, with each letter ended with the most sweetest words P.S. I Love You.

POSTSCRIPT was the sequel I never thought I needed. Let’s face it, PS I Love You finished in a good place and so it has existed for over a decade. I was worried that book two would sully the good memories I have of book one, I was worried it would disappoint, it did none of these things. to understand your buying preferences so that we can offer the products that we feel may interest you personally 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’. From the very beginning, to the beautiful, surprising end, Postscript had me captivated. If you’re a PS, I love you fan, don’t miss this one! We return to Holly Kennedy in this sequel to “P.S I Love You “ it’s been seven years since she lost her husband Gerry to cancer. She has slowly started to rebuild her life again, dating and considering moving in with Gabriel.
