Epilogue (for fiction) Your information will be passed to and used by the following third parties who help us deliver our services: 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. 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 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’.
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. The theme of leaving something behind for loved ones when you pass is beautiful. Each of the members of the club has an original take on what they want to do. So much of the book was heart-wrenching and emotional. This story has such a personal side for me, after dealing with serious medical issues 8 years ago that have started to crop up again recently, it’s made me think poignantly about my loved ones. I’m sure there are many others that this book will touch in a similar way. Sometimes when you read a sequel, you worry that it will never be as good as the original but I’m pleased to say that this wasn’t the case!! I'm now left wondering what does my favourite author Cecelia Ahern have scheduled for her next book? What it maybe it will go in my diary as a must read!
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. ultimately, it’s all anyone wants. Not to get lost, or left behind, not to be forgotten, to always be a part of the moments they know they’ll miss. To leave their stamp. To be remembered. 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.

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.

Supplementary notes that relate to specific passages of the text, and denoted within the body by superscripts. Almost always used in nonfiction, but occasionally found in experimental/comedic fiction as well, such as Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace. Glossary 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.
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. Any other final notes on the book; can be written by the author or by someone they know. Postscript It doesn’t feel as though fifteen years have passed since Holly and Gerry entered our lives, especially as ‘Postscript’ just continues the story as though there has never been a break between books.Postscript is perfectly set up to begin as a stand-alone for those who haven’t read the first book, although I would highly recommend starting with the first if you can, because there’s so much you’ll miss out on if you don’t. 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. independent survey companies to invite your views on the quality of our service so we can improve our offering to you 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.
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.”Where necessary, we will keep your personal data for as long as required to do so by law; and where required to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights. 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. 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. 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.
