Postscript: The most uplifting and romantic novel, sequel to the international best seller PS, I LOVE YOU

Product Information

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! Obviously I’m not going to go into detail about those journeys, Holly’s included, however I will say that all of the characters in this book had their own stories to tell which completely blew me away on various different levels. The poignancy behind their lives, who they loved, and what they wanted to achieve, was just so emotional and moving. It was so hard to just sit and watch certain things happening to people who didn’t deserve it. I wanted to reach inside of the book and make everything okay, but I couldn’t. Clearly. The thing is, even if I could have done something to make it all okay, it wouldn’t have been realistic. Thousands upon thousands of people go through things similar to the characters in this book, and thousands upon thousands of people wish they could become a superhero and make everything okay. The reality of that though, is that it isn’t reality and often that can be the hardest thing to accept. 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). Cecilia Ahern writes a terrific sequel to PS I Love You, immersing us once again in the life of 37 year old Holly Kennedy seven years on since the loss of her beloved husband, Gerry, from cancer at the too young age of 30. She has established a new life with tree man, Gabriel, and is working at her sister, Ciara's second hand vintage shop, Magpie, and still close to her friends, Sharon and Denise. Despite misgivings, she has agreed to support Ciara by taking part in her podcast on grief and loss, and talking about her experience of losing Gerry and the letters he left behind for her. The huge response she gets makes her deeply uncomfortable. When a new group sets itself up as the PS I Love You Club and asks for her help, Holly's instinct is to refuse, it has taken so much out of her to find the strength to survive Gerry's loss, and she is reluctant to revisit and let Gerry once again consume a big part of her life. 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.

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 Holly is in a new relationship. I really struggled to keep up with Gabriel, simply because his name starts with the same letter as her deceased husband. Furthermore, Gerry remains omnipresent in the story and I think the similarity is likely a deliberate choice from Ahern to reflect the influence that Gerry has over Holly’s life. In my opinion, Gabriel is quite a bland character but I wonder if this is merely how Holly sees him, constantly making comparisons with Gerry – even though she does not realise she does this so often. Cecelia Ahern’s “Postcript” is the follow up sequel to her moving, worldwide best selling novel “P.S. I Love You”. I haven’t read the the first book but I did watch the movie many years ago and remember it quite vividly. Even if you haven’t done either, there’s plenty within the story to get the drift of what the premise is about. 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. 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.Any other final notes on the book; can be written by the author or by someone they know.

Have the tissues handy!!! This book is very emotional, moving and poignant. I can imagine if you’ve recently lost someone, this story could well be a trigger for grief, since obviously the main theme of the story is death and those we leave behind. However, due to the compassionate writing and some often funny moments, it isn’t all doom and gloom and truly has some memorable moments. Holly is a very likeable character and her relationship with her sister and two best friends is very endearing and a joy to read. The new Holly isn’t the Holly that Gerry left the letters for and it was interesting to see how she’d dealt with the death of her husband and how she’d moved on in the last seven years. Holly is now in reverse positions with Gerry, sensing the emotions he felt when he wrote and planned his letters. Helping people making sure their messages are passed on after their deaths, was a fabulous idea by the author and nice follow up to a much loved movie and novel. The individual members of the club are each very unique and their distinctive requests were so special to their loved ones. Ginika’s request was particularly poignant and I felt I was there in the middle of the story with her and her baby, as she prepared herself to be able to complete her mission. An introductory passage written by the author, a preface relates how and why the book came into being, or provides context for the current edition. Foreword 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.

A scene that wraps up the story in a satisfying manner, an epilogue often takes place some time in the future, relative to the events in the main chapters of the book. Alternatively, if there are more books to come in the series, the epilogue may raise new questions or hint at what will happen in the next installment.

Glossary The quest that Holly went on alongside others in her PS I Love You club was a journey. I had my reservations about it just like her boyfriend, friends and family but I was won around by those characters of Bert, Genika and Jewel especially. I made it to 88% rather smugly thinking that ‘I’ve not cried, I wont now’… and then proceeded to sob twice before the end. service providers that manage combined data on behalf of UK retailers, including ourselves, who are active in the clothing, collectables, food and wine, gardening, entertainment, health and beauty, and household goods categories.

Thank you to Cecelia Ahern, Harper Collins and Tandem Collective UK for the gifted copy and this amazing opportunity. Postscript’ tells the story of Holly’s life after Gerry’s death seven years prior. To the outside world, Holly has moved on. To Holly, she feels guilty for living her life without Gerry by her side, even though she has no choice. When her sister, Ciara, asks for her help with her podcast, Holly can’t quite shift the sinking feeling in her gut. Part of her thinks that she shouldn’t delve into the emotions that have taken seven years to come to terms with, yet another part of her thinks that it would do her good to talk about Gerry’s death. Never in a million years did Holly ever think that Gerry’s actions would end up inspiring other people, yet they did. They ended up inspiring a group of strangers who begin to embark on their own journeys with different expiry dates; expiry dates that are currently unknown but they all have one thing in common – they want to leave a part of themselves for their loved ones…with Holly’s help.
