Today I am pleased to be taking part in Harper Collins' Blog Tour to celebrate the publication of Cecelia Ahern's much anticipated 'Postscript', the sequel to her debut novel 'P.S.I Love You' .
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…

I first heard of Cecelia Ahern when 'P.S. I Love You' was chosen as a Richard and Judy Book Club read on their popular Channel 4 tea time chat show. I instantly fell in love with the book and its characters and became a firm Cecelia Ahern fan!
There have been rumours around for years that there would be a sequel to P.S. I Love You and I was hoping that it would happen but also worried that if a sequel would be published that it would not live up to the brilliance of P.S. I Love You - however I have definitely not been disappointed and I think that Cecelia Ahern's writing style has continually progressed and improved and Postscript is the sequel that everyone should read.
Postscript is a brilliant sequel - as good as JoJo Moyes' 'After You' the sequel to the very popular 'Me Before You'. Holly is now six years post the death of her husband, Gerry, and although she is still missing him terribly, she must continue with her own life. However, when she is approached and invited to attend the P.S.I Love You club which has been created by a group who were inspired by Gerry's letters.
I really enjoyed Postscript. I would suggest that readers should read P.S.I Love You (not watch the film) before picking up Postscript. It is a fantastic sequel and I really enjoyed meeting up with Holly again. The story is emotional and I found myself crying while reading it, however I was so emotionally attached to the characters that I continued and I am so glad I did. It talks about grief but also about living life to the full and proves that there is life after the death of a loved one. There are also a number of laugh out loud moments within the book and these lighten the mood and remind the reader of Cecelia's great writing skills.
Thank you to Harper Collins' for inviting me to take part in the blog tour and for a copy of the book in return for an honest review.
