A review by bethaniekay
Postscript by Cecelia Ahern
4.0
P.S., I Love You is one of my all-time favorite books, so I was thrilled to learn of this sequel.
I've always enjoyed Ahern's writing (even when she was just starting as a novelist), and this book is no exception. Her writing style makes reading her stories effortless and enjoyable.
Jumping back into the lives of many of the characters from the original novel was very easy, and I enjoyed catching up with them at this new point in their life, and seeing how they've grown. The synopsis makes it seem like this book would be sad (and some parts were). But it was also encouraging to see how Holly learns and grows through the new challenges, and heartwarming to experience the kindness and caring shown throughout the novel.
It was a bonus that we got to see a bit of Gerry again, through some new flashbacks and stories.
Definitely a worthwhile sequel, which I'll be recommending to others who enjoyed the original novel.
