Book Review / Postscript by Cecelia Ahern

 It's been seven years since Holly Kennedy's husband died – six since she read his final letter, urging Holly to find the courage to forge a new life.

She’s proud of all the ways in which she has grown and evolved. But when a group inspired by Gerry's letters, calling themselves the PS, I Love You Club, approaches Holly asking for help, she finds herself drawn back into a world that she worked so hard to leave behind.

Reluctantly, Holly begins a relationship with the club, even as their friendship threatens to destroy the peace she believes she has achieved. As each of these people calls upon Holly to help them leave something meaningful behind for their loved ones, Holly will embark on a remarkable journey – one that will challenge her to ask whether embracing the future means betraying the past, and what it means to love someone forever…

MY REVIEW

Having read and enjoyed PS I Love You back when it first came out and re-reading it recently, I was intrigued to find out what happens next , hoping that it will not just re-hash what happened in the first book all over again.  With this book, we are following Holly again seven years later.  Interestingly, it is not Holly who is dragging up the past but a group of people who were inspired by Gerry's story wanting to get in touch with her so she can help them.  It comes at a time when Holly is about to move on, selling the  home that she shared with Gerry. 

Honestly, I enjoyed this story but in places it did drag for me.  The story was very slow paced, which I was expecting since the first story, PS I Love You, was slow paced also, but I was hoping for a faster pace since it is a contemporary.  

What I liked the most about this story was following each of the characters in the PS I Love You ClubAll of them have their own story lines and all that we heard from were very emotional to follow.  

An enjoyable emotional read and worth picking up if you were a fan of PS I Love You.
