Holly was seven years down the line from Gerry’s death, living her life, happy, in a relationship and officially in a different phase of her life from when she recceived the original letters. I wondered where Cecelia Ahern would take us, without harping back to the experiences of the first book too much but Gerry’s letters were used for good, to empower others.
What I liked about Holly in this book was that she was still a bit of a hot mess. She didn’t have it all together, even after all this time, showing this was just a personality trait. What I also loved reading about was Holly’s grief for Gerry and the life she lost. The grief that shone through was dulled down but with occasional acuteness and this seemed real.
The quest that Holly went on alongside others in her PS I Love You club was a journey. I had my reservations about it just like her boyfriend, friends and family but I was won around by those characters of Bert, Genika and Jewel especially. I made it to 88% rather smugly thinking that ‘I’ve not cried, I wont now’… and then proceeded to sob twice before the end.
“…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.”
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.

The plot follows that tradition of a dance/prom on the horizon and the cool good looking kids are planning some hijinx only for good to win and everyone learns life lessons. Angus has a falling out with his best friend Troy and is all alone before he overcomes his own unsecurities and can move on from high school politics. If you like mid/late 90s alternative music this soundtrack will knock you socks off and transport you back in time.

The Possibility of Perfect was perfect. I fell in love with the characters and their story. Dane is the classic guy. With the good looks and even better manners. He had me wrap from the beginning. Josie was fierce, sweet and unapologetic about how she felt or what she wanted. She was a little shady. She held her ground when Dane wanted to give up. She had more back bone then most people. The story was interesting and didn’t hold a lot of drama. The author didn’t need to create extra people to fill the story. The word flow was really good I read it pretty fast. I would’ve liked more details about Josie's family. Overall great read. It kept me entertained and wanting to get through the book so I could read what was next. I look forward to reading more by this author. I liked how the characters flaws were brought out in their everyday life. Dane worried so much that he wasn’t seeing that he wouldn’t be the same as his mother. That he didn’t have all the details to make a clear choice. Josie let me down at first. I am the type of female that says what she wants no matter the consequences. We only have the right now. So why hide behind your fears? We have to learn to just live and both Dane and Josie learned that in this story. What a great life lesson.
