Becky's 30th birthday is looming, and she's in a panic. So, she decides to do a tarot card reading hoping it'll give her some peace. Except she pulls the death card. Having tarot knowledge like I do (i.e. pretty much none), she interprets this as a looming end, so she writes honest letters to many people in her life - family, friends, and an ex. Once her moment of panic is gone, she regrets her choice, but it's too late. And she has to deal with the truths she's shared. This was a fun story in that it was coming of age in adulthood and figuring life out. It was also a great read about the realities of relationships - how they change, what we share (and don't), and how we navigate through. It was a different vibe (in a good way), and Becky's journey (especially all those anxious feels) was relatable. Thanks to NetGalley for the (very) early look at this November 2025 release.

P.S. You’re the Worst is a coming of age story for our main character, Becky. Becky is stuck in her life, and she is working to untangle it throughout this book. The tarot card implementation was fantastic. I genuinely really enjoyed the first 75% of the book. The last 25% was not my favorite. I feel like while we saw a little more character development, it was rushed a little with Becky and then we are given an epilogue set in the future. There were also just so many moments where I wanted to shake Becky for making certain decisions and like EVENTUALLY she figured it out, but BOY she took the hard way almost every time leading up to the end. Genuinely a great read for late 20 something’s who are feeling stuck.

It was a fun read. Becky sometimes was a little annoying but going back to the same age she was I can easily say I was the same. I was able to connect with her because I was lost too when I was in my 20s. Great read.

[3.5⭐️]

thank you to netgalley and william morrow books for providing this arc!!

i first requested this arc because both the cover and the synopsis really intrigued me. this book read really fast to me, i literally binged it in a single day. i’ve never used or bought tarot cards before so i can’t say i understood becky’s scare when she pulled the death card, but it was definitely a whirlwind watching her absolutely spiral. that was something that i could for sure resonate with because what’s life if you don’t spiral at any inconvenience. the writing style was very good, i could actually see myself in her thoughts especially when it came to all of becky’s inner monologues. if you read the synopsis and are interested, then i would definitely recommend this book!!

Honestly, this one wasn't for me. It was a cute, fun read about growing into adulthood. And I loved the premise of misunderstanding a tarot card reading. But none of Becky's choices didn't feel motivated by anything except what needed to happen for the plot and none of the side characters felt very fleshed out - just kinda there to help Becky evolve. I think this will be a hit with people in their 20s, but unfortunately it fell flat for me. Huge thanks to NetGalley and William Marrow for the eARC!

*PS You're the Worst* was a tough read for me. I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to like Becky, but I found myself rooting against her almost every step of the way—she just seemed so unlikable. Eventually, I couldn’t even stomach finishing the book. I’m sure this story is someone’s cup of tea, but it definitely isn’t mine.

I enjoyed Chloe Seager's novel, Open Minded. P.S. You're the Worst was also a great read! As a 30-year-old myself, it resonated with me on feelings of belonging, worries about the future, and optimism about what's ahead.

I'll tell you what, I don't typically go for covers like this one. The synopsis got me, though, and I'm glad I requested it!

📖: Becky received the gift of a Tarot reading for her 29th birthday, and she took the Death Card to mean she was literally going to die. (Rookie mistake 😅) Thinking her time was up, she wrote tell-all letters to her closest family and friends. Then she realized she wasn't actually dying... Becky must face the consequences of her actions in this coming-of-age story.

🤝: This may be a good fit if you enjoy:
- the highs and lows of close friendship
- addressing a will they, won't they romance
- complex family dynamics

💭: I'm a sucker for stories that involve Tarot cards or clairvoyance. While it was a small part of this story, I'm thankful since it led me to requesting it. Becky was having a tough time. Did she come off a little Debbie Downer? For sure, but I had a feeling it was going to turn around. Her struggles were relatable. I enjoyed being a fly on the wall while Becky started figuring her sh*t out. As a person in my late thirties, I relate to finally feeling like a grown-up in this decade of life. This book was cute but not cheesy (in my humble opinion), and I thought it was a great palate cleanser. It tugged at heartstrings without being too heavy.

💬: "I'm trying this new thing where I don't condemn other people's relationships. (At least not until I have all of the relevant knowledge. Obviously, I still live to judge once fully informed.)" lol, same.

Rating: I really liked it! (4.5 rounded up)

**Book Review: *P.S. You’re the Worst* by Chloe Seager**
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5)

Chloe Seager’s *P.S. You’re the Worst* is a delightfully messy, heartwarming, and brutally relatable coming-of-age story—for adults. If you’ve ever had a quarter-life crisis in the middle of a job you hate, found yourself yelling at *Grey’s Anatomy* with your mom, or thought a tarot card reading might finally give your life direction… you’ll find yourself in Becky. And maybe that’s what makes this book hit so hard—it feels like it’s reading *you* back.

Becky is stuck. In her career, her love life, her self-esteem—you name it. When she pulls the Death card at a tarot reading on the heels of a disaster birthday party, she assumes she’s got limited time left on this planet. Naturally, her next step is to write six wildly honest, heartfelt (and sometimes unhinged) letters to the most important people in her life. Except… she’s not dying. And now, she’s stuck dealing with the fallout from everything she wrote.

What unfolds is part chaos, part therapy session, and all heart. Becky’s journey is filled with spirals, overthinking, emotionally impulsive decisions, and all-caps inner arguments that feel painfully familiar. Her voice is raw, hilarious, and deeply self-aware—even when she’s being a bit of a disaster. Watching her untangle her relationships and face herself head-on makes for a surprisingly profound read.

While the plot is fairly straightforward, what makes the book shine is its honesty. It’s not just about love or friendship or even redemption—it’s about *trying*. Trying to grow up. Trying to understand yourself. Trying not to scream when everything feels like it’s falling apart. And through it all, Seager keeps the tone light enough to laugh, but grounded enough to feel the emotional gut punches.

Yes, some moments feel a bit dramatized (Becky’s “this is it, I’m dying” reaction might be *slightly* over the top), and the letters might make you cringe a little—but that’s part of the charm. It’s a messy, real, and very millennial sort of journey.

**Bottom line:** *P.S. You’re the Worst* is a witty and cathartic adult coming-of-age story that perfectly balances laugh-out-loud moments with emotional resonance. If you’ve ever felt stuck, spiraled about your future, or written a text you immediately regretted, Becky is your chaotic soul sister. A comforting, funny, and surprisingly hopeful read. 5/5 stars.

With an impromptu tarot reading, Becky’s whole life is about to be turned upside down and she is forced to take a good look at what is truly holding her back.

PS You’re the Worst conveys a relatable and comedic journey trying to navigate life and friendships when you feel stuck and lost your place.

Thank you to William Morrow | William Morrow Paperbacks and NetGalley for the ARC!

Listen… I wasn’t prepared to be called out this hard.

Becky? Is me. I am Becky. From overanalyzing job interviews to spiraling over life milestones and screaming at Grey’s Anatomy episodes with her mom—she's literally living my life. So when she pulls the tarot death card and assumes she’s about to clock out for good? Of course she writes brutally honest letters to everyone she knows. And of course the universe is like, “Lol nope, you’re still here.” I laughed out loud multiple times—and yes, I almost cried. The banter? Chef’s kiss. The emotional moments? Gut punch. This is the kind of book that makes you pause and go, "Damn, am I okay?"

It’s for anyone stuck in a rut—whether it’s your job, your relationship, or just the general “what am I even doing with my life?” feeling that smacks you in the face in your late 20s and early 30s. And can we talk about how the UK just does everything better? Even spirals feel more charming over there. Bonus points for the Traitors reference (iconic behavior).

I’ve never been into tarot readings before, but now? I’m fully considering booking one. Because if pulling one card can shake Becky out of her comfort zone and into a full-on life epiphany, maybe the cards know a little something after all.

Bottom line: P.S. You’re the Worst is heartfelt, hilarious, and so real it stings in the best way. It reminds you that what you think you want might not be what you need, and sometimes, a heartfelt apology or a little self-awareness can go a long way. I adored the ending and genuinely didn't want it to be over.

Someone please check on Becky—and me. We’re not okay, but we’re trying.

This was such a fun read! The second-hand embarrassment was so hard for me to get excited about this book because I skip embarrassing moments in movies and tv shows!

As a tarot lover though who has often seen my friends mis understand their cards I got a good laugh at the journey that we went on with our FMC.

Fun Read if you're looking for something different to add to your library!



ARC received from Net Galley :)

This was such a cute story and had me instantly hooked because I just needed to know what was going to happen next! Becky’s life was a hot mess especially after a gifted tarot card reading. When she was writing her letters to people I kept saying don’t make decisions based on emotions and of course she did and boy did it get a lot worse before it could get better. I’m glad that she eventually figured out her life as much as possible and fixed the relationships she needed to fix!

This is not my typical genre but it was really cute. Our FMC receives a tarot reading and she leaves with the impression that she’s going to die soon. As a result she impulsively writes 6 letters to the most important people in her life where she lays out everything she’s been holding back, or has it just been holding her back? I thought this was a really well written out cast of characters and it really worked as an ensemble. Navigating the fallout that her letters brings was genuinely well done, and there was a moment in the book (I won’t specify which) where I actually realized I could be more considerate of my own partners feelings.

Overall, it was great and I would def recommend it!

Chloe Seagar has provided us with a novel in which Becky is a 29 year old that’s realizing she’s not in her youth era nor is she where she wants to be in life. She’s moved back in with her mom, but can you ever really do that, successfully, as an adult? She gets some unsettling news and tried to start a new life by dispersing of her old life through letters that she sends out to those that are the closest to her.

Join Becky on her journey to see if she can stop self-sabotaging in order to find her spark and her future. I enjoyed the writing and inner dialogue of Becky. I thought this was a quick read and full of laughs. Becky’s character development was fantastic and could see other Becky adventures coming from this books

4 stars!
This was such a quick, fun read. I found myself laughing out loud at certain parts in the book. The way the author takes us through Becky’s inner thoughts is incredibly relatable. When she starts yelling at herself in all caps, I couldn’t help but think “same, girl”. It felt like I was reading my own inner monologue at times. My brain is wired the same way…sometimes overthinking, spiraling through worst case scenarios, and arguing with myself at times. Seeing Becky navigate those same thought spirals made me feel surprisingly seen.

The story struck a great balance between humor and emotional honesty. I especially appreciated the ending; it wasn’t overly sappy, but still felt hopeful and satisfying. Not every story needs a fairytale wrap up to be meaningful and this one nailed it.

I’d absolutely recommend this book to my friends, especially anyone going through a tough time. It’s light, funny, and surprisingly comforting.

Thank you for the ARC!

Becky’s life isn’t what she thought it would be: she is stuck in a job she hates, she is living with her mom and is in love with her ex-boyfriend while her best friends are thriving. After a terrible birthday party thrown by her mother, she gets a tarot reading and pulls the death card…and gets convinced that she’s going to die soon. So what’s a girl to do? Write a bunch of confession letters and send them to her closest while making plans to leave the country.

I did like Becky a lot and her growth was a delight to read about. This is more of an adult coming-of-age book and Becky is truthfully not terrible, just confused which happens to all of us

Definitely recommend!

This book shocked me with its heart, depth, and affect on me. I really enjoyed this one! Becky was a real protagonist I could relate to, root for, and get frustrated with (just like any good friend you've ever had). I loved the progression and growth, and felt impacted in the way I viewed my own life and struggles of figuring things out in your 20s.
I would highly recommend this to anyone interested. Thank you to the publisher for allowing me to read an advanced copy.

I enjoyed this read! Caught my attention right away. Becky was very real and interesting. It did have a slow start but overall a good read. Funny and sad all at the same times because of all the insecurities she had throughout the read. I would recommend to someone who’s starting to read and needs something easy and quick

This book has a strong, relatable voice that pulls you in right away. It’s a funny, heartfelt story about what it means to take personal responsibility when life doesn’t go as planned.

You know the feeling of thinking you’d be further along by now—and wanting to give up because reality doesn’t match your expectations? Why try so hard when you feel like you’re running in place?

Well, P.S. You’re the Worst is a cozy, uplifting reminder that progress isn’t always linear, and that the true measure of how we’re doing often lies in the strength of our relationships.

This is a sweet, easy read that’ll make you laugh, reflect, and maybe even feel inspired to take another shot at that goal you left behind.

4 Stars - Highly Recommend
