Very connected and relatable. Painfully accurate thoughts of a 30 something milennial and surprisinly comforting.

“P.S. You’re the Worst” is a coming of age story that centers around Becky who’s about to turn 30 and has hated most of her twenties. She receives a Tarot reading and pulls the Death card. Things start to spiral from there.

I found Becky's emotional immaturity for her age a bit unrealistic at times. However, the book's saving grace lies in its quick and witty humor, which provides a refreshing contrast to Becky's somewhat insufferable behavior in the first half. Despite initial reservations, I genuinely appreciated Becky's overall growth throughout the narrative and was satisfied with how everything concluded. Therfore, I’m giving it 3 stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and William Morrow Books for providing an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Insufferable in the most relatable way.

Thank you for Net Galley, William Morrow Publishing, Chloe Seagar for letting me read this arc. I am very grateful but this does not influence my review.

Reading P.S. You're the Worst by Chloe Seager felt like watching MTV's Awkward, but grown-up, British, and mid millennial crisis. In the beginning it was too 'woe me' and really disliked Phoebe as a character. But she grew on me and I was able to recognize very basic human feelings we all get while growing up. I laughed, I cringed, I spiraled with Phoebe. It’s a book about chaotic self-awareness. Phoebe sends letters she thinks are brave but proceeds to avoids all accountability. She is constantly looks for signs where there are none. She's a red flag who ignores red flags. It's painful, funny, and emotionally real in a way that made me yell at my book and proceed to go "saaaaame" in the next chapter. Came for the tarot cover, stayed for the painfully familiar yearning.

Would recommend if:
• You’ve ever projected onto a man who said “we’re here, she’s somewhere.”
• You’ve texted “lol I’m fine” and meant the opposite.
• You’ve worn an ironic T-shirt while having an existential crisis.

Thank you, NetGalley and the publisher, for providing me with an ARC copy!

I must admit that Becky’s life is quite relatable. I feel like most people her age experience similar situations, which is simply part of life. I particularly enjoy how the majority of the book is a chaotic and overwhelming portrayal of her life, while the last 15% brings a sense of resolution and clarity.

While there are certainly some cringeworthy moments, I believe they serve a purpose. If you’re seeking a relatable and enjoyable read, I highly recommend this book.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re falling behind in life—or wanted to tell people what you really think—this novel might hit home in the most cathartic way. Girl, take the L and turn it into a W because you put your peace into the air and let that go. Good for you!

Thank you soo much NetGalley and William Morrow Paperbacks for this ARC!

This book starts with Becky, who has been stuck in a rut for - let's say her entire twenties. She hasn't moved forward in her love life or career, and on a whim decides to get a tarot reading - one that says she is going to die. Well, if that won't get you to try to change your life then nothing will. Yes, changing your life and being honest to yourself and others is scary and it is messy and people might get mad at you, but it is better than being miserable forever. This story does a great job of showing the fallouts and rewards of burning it all down to build something new.

First, I want to thank NetGalley and William Morrow Paperbacks for allowing me to have the eArc to provide my honest review.

This book was such a chaotic, and cringy but so fun. Becky is absolutely a hot mess, but her voice was so sharp and funny that I couldn’t stop reading. There were moments I wanted to shake her and others where I genuinely felt for her. The idea of writing brutally honest letters to everyone in your life? Wild—but also kind of cathartic to watch play out.

I appreciated that Becky didn’t magically become a better person overnight. Her growth felt messy and real, which made the ending more satisfying. The humor was on point, and there were a few parts that genuinely made me laugh out loud. Definitely recommend this one if you enjoy flawed but entertaining characters and a dose of secondhand embarrassment with your life lessons.

I’ll definitely be looking out for what Chloe Seager writes next.

Ok, this was fun!
So, Becky is 29, and she has gradually seen all her friends float apart as they become more concerned with their careers, home decor, and wedding planning, whereas Becky is stuck in a boring dead-end job, still living at her mom's place, and secretly in love with an ex-boyfriend. When she gets a tarot reading from which she understands that she will die soon, she finally gathers the courage to tell all the people in her life what she has been thinking about them: her mom, her love interest, her friend group, her boss. She sends them all pretty outspoken and inconsiderate letters, as she can't bear the thought that she will die still keeping this all in her. But then... she doesn't die. Instead, she has to face and sort out the mess that she created with the letters that estranged everyone from her — with no more job, no friends, and nowhere to sleep.

I tend to like stories about girls on the verge of 30 who have to suddenly confront the fact that they might have postponed taking responsibility for their one and only precious life. "Rewitched" was a good one recently, but this one I liked even better because it involves some thought process accessible to all of us mortal humans, rather than learning magic and convening with spirits.

In fact, I thought the beginning part of this book, which describes in detail the misery that Becky has driven herself into, was a bit overdone, as the idea that our adulting is measured by the number of mortgages and reaching the exact stage in a relationship by an exact age is not relatable to me at all. Becky's "falling behind" her friends was a bit too much formulated in these terms: "this one is already engaged, and I thought I would be too by this point, but I am just going on a series of shitty dates." (As if it's important only to reach a specific stage in a relationship, no matter with whom — a very alien idea to me personally.) But then it gets much better, because as Becky unravels her situation, she actually tackles the essence of what she has been doing wrong — not just the idea of hitting or missing the milestones. (Sorry, I'm vague so as not to spoil the latter parts of the story, but it's good enough.)

It was a quick and fun "airplane read" for me, and it's optimistic and inspiring.

4.5/5

Publication date: November 18, 2025.

Thanks to the publisher, William Morrow, for providing me with an eARC through NetGalley. The opinion above is my own.

P.S. You’re the Worst is one of the first books I’ve encountered that tackles feeling behind in your late 20’s. Our main character ends up accidentally sending letters to her family and friends detailing her most horrible inner thoughts about their relationship that you would typically keep to yourself. Thus, her whole life is turned upside down.

My favorite thing about this book is seeing how getting everything you think you want might not actually result in the happy life you think it will be. Truly a book about growing up and finding yourself. The main character was relatable, funny and I found myself rooting for her throughout the book. Side characters were well developed as well. I would recommend to anyone who wants a fun read and doesn’t mind secondhand embarrassment.

This book was a very different take on most books that I tend to read, since I lean more to Full on Smut or thriller mystery. But throughout the book, it kept me on my toes! I really enjoyed all the life adventures that Becky went through and all the different parts of her life we got to see through the short book that started out with her 30th birthday. This book was truly eye opening, and a wild ride through the whole book.

This book is a quietly powerful coming-of-age story that explores the often-overlooked, awkward space between young adulthood and full-blown adulthood. The protagonist, a young woman stuck in a holding pattern at her mother’s house, grapples with the familiar anxieties of figuring out not just what she wants to do with her life, but who she wants to be.

What I appreciated most was how grounded and realistic the storytelling felt. The author doesn’t rely on big, dramatic plot twists to move the story forward — instead, it’s the small, deeply relatable moments that carry the emotional weight. Her struggle to find meaningful work, the tug-of-war between comfort and independence, and the resurfacing of old crushes all feel authentic and, at times, uncomfortably familiar.

There’s a subtle tension throughout between growth and nostalgia. The romantic threads, especially, are less about love stories and more about reckoning with the past and learning to set boundaries — both with others and with the idealized versions of our younger selves.

Overall, it’s a character-driven book that rewards readers who appreciate emotional nuance and slow-burn personal transformation. It’s not a page-turner in the traditional sense, but it’s the kind of story that lingers with you long after the final chapter.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC! I found this book while scrolling on NetGalley and was immediately intrigued by the description. As soon as I started the book and read the first letter from Becky, her wit and sense of humor made me laugh out loud. However, even though at first her perspective and way with words gave me a laugh, like other reviewers had pointed out, her immaturity started to get really annoying and I started to get more annoyed with Becky as the book went on. One of my least favorite things in books is when there is miscommunication and/or back and forth between love interests which unfortunately tainted my reading experience here a little bit. Overall, it was still an entertaining read that I’m sure many people will love and enjoy come publication day!

This coming-of-age story hit the nail on the head with me, thanks to its relatable portrayal of anxiety, self-doubt, and social isolation. The main character's struggles to find her footing and feeling stuck in her 30s hit close to home, especially given my own experiences over the past few years. What I loved about this book is that it walks the line between a heartfelt narrative and self-help, offering validation and insight. My only critique is that it sometimes feels a bit too simplistic or juvenile for my taste. Overall, I'd give it 3.5 stars - while it didn't blow me away, it certainly struck a chord.

3.5 stars
This was a fun coming of age read that grabbed my attention and held it. I did struggle a bit with the immaturity of the main character and didn’t love the miscommunication included. With that said, it was an enjoyable and entertaining read.

My thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This story took me by surprise. I normally can see how things pan out but there was a few twists and turns that I didn’t expect. Becky is a 29-year-old, self described hot mess express. She receives a tarot card reading for her birthday and due to the negative tarot reading she receives, subsequently sends brutally honest letters to her friends. The consequences of being brutally honest bite Becky in the back side. However, She navigates her way through and comes out with a new perspective.

this book is basically a bad Hallmark movie. and the main character was the most annoying person. I get it was the point but still couldn't stand it.

I really enjoyed this book. The protagonist is a young woman whose life is a mess, mostly of her own making (although she doesn't quite realize it). Her personal journey reminded me somewhat of Kristen Wiig's character in Bridesmaids, although I think the author here did a better job of walking the reader through Becky's emotional growth along the way.

From the very start, the author did a great job of putting the reader inside Becky's head. It made her character very relatable, and I was 100% on team Becky with her initial assessment of her friends and her life. Then, with the flip of a few tarot cards, Becky's life unraveled further and she was forced to rebuild and reassess everything.

I can see this book totally resonating with the 20-something crowd, and especially with those who feel left behind by their high-achieving friends or those who feel like they're not measuring up to the expectations people are putting on them. I think there's insight in here for everyone, though. There are so many things that we do out of habit or feeling like we don't have a choice, when there are usually more choices than we realize if we just take the blinders off and explore different decisions, even if they're not what most people would do.

All in all, a fun read just from an entertainment perspective with a bonus kick-in-the-butt for motivational purposes.

Thank you to the publisher for the ARC!

Chloe Seager delivers another brilliantly funny and relatable read with P.S. You're the Worst. Packed with sharp wit, heartwarming moments, and laugh-out-loud lines, this book captures the chaos of growing up in a way that feels both entertaining and refreshingly honest.

Our heroine is delightfully flawed and completely lovable — navigating friendships, crushes, cringe-worthy situations, and the awkward art of self-discovery with a voice that's hilariously self-aware. Seager perfectly balances humor and heart, making this book feel like a chat with your most brutally honest best friend.

Whether you're a teen figuring things out or an adult looking back with a smile (and a wince), P.S. You're the Worst is a charming reminder that nobody has it all together — and that’s okay. A perfect pick for fans of Louise Rennison or Holly Bourne.

3.5 rounded to 4 - Up until about halfway through this book, I considered putting it down and DNFing it. I didn't like the victim mentality of the main character or the way she portrayed her family and friends. I think the redemption comes further in than I would've liked however I'm glad there was the redemption story and she didn't end the book being the terrible person I was scared she would end up to be. Overall, this book was just okay to me but I think I might be older than the target audience as well.

Unfortunately, I decided to DNF at 28%.

I really liked the idea of this book, but the writing style is a little too chaotic for my liking. I’m having a hard time following what is going on because the main character is very chaotic and has a lot of unorganized thoughts. There also wasn’t a great explanation of each character so I don’t feel like I know any of the characters enough to be interested.

I think the main character is interesting, though, and if I had more time to sit down and read, I would probably enjoy this book more.
