It is a sequel to PS I Love You. If you have loved that one, then you will also enjoy this. In contrast to the first book, which was about Holly receiving letters from her late husband and completing the task assigned, this one describes what happens after those letters. It gives you a reality check of things. Despite everything, how difficult it is for people to move on once their loved one has passed away. Some people might not show it much, but their pain is still acute.
In this book, you are able to comprehend both the letter's writer's and the recipient's points of view. After Holly gives an interview on how she handled her husband's death, strangers pursue her to get more information. It was tough to reopen those wounds again years later, but they also gave hope to certain people. Holly, however, experiences it as a terrible nightmare. She nevertheless battles her demons once more. It's natural to assume that someone's intentions while writing a letter are the same as your own because of the kind of relationship you share, but this is not always the case. No matter their intention, whether they write to reconnect with their loved ones again or to make them independent, it is hard to judge.
It gives you a rational side of things as in what all it takes for a person to move on, and one cannot let old memories get in the way of their future. Not talking about people doesn't imply you've forgotten about them; it means giving them the room they need and preventing your present from being ruined. I really enjoyed this one, and it kept me hooked. I read a little bit every day despite having weddings at home.
