This was an enjoyable quick read. It was sprinkled with humor that enhanced the story. I was a bit skeptical about it being a 20-something-woe-is me sort of angsty tale but it wasn't. There were a few times when the plot dragged a bit but it picked up again. Becky learns a lot about life and relationships in the story and the reader is not stuck with a fairy tale ending. I would give 4.5 if I could. It was an ARC so errors are expected....hoping some real attention is given to grammatical issues. In any event, I recommend this one. Perfect beach read.

I received an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book was just what I needed. I do not usually rate contemporary fiction books very high because they are usually just ok to me. However, I really enjoyed this book. It is a book about an adult woman who has realized that her life is stuck. She is unhappy with her job, feels left behind by her friends, and stuck in an unrequited love with her ex boyfriend/best guy friend. For her birthday she gets a gift card to a tarot reader and the reading freaks her out and convinces her that her death is imminent. In her panic she decides to pen brutally honest letters to her boss and her loved ones and mails them. In the cold light of morning she realizes that she may have overreacted but the letters are out in the universe know and the recipients will be getting them any day now. Our main character is hilarious and irreverent throughout her journey of self discovery. Her reactions to other characters and situations that she gets herself into are very relatable (even when both she and the reader know that it is probably not the best way to go about things). I laughed a lot reading this book but overall it gave me hope. I won’t be intentionally blowing up my own life any time soon but it gave me hope and the optimism that if I am feeling stuck and unhappy I always have the ability to change the situation even if it might be scary. All of the characters in this book are very well rounded. I found myself simultaneously annoyed with some of the characters while also being able to understand where they are coming from and why they are behaving or speaking the way they are. I feel like this book helped further develop my empathy because of how well the characters were written. No one was evil, everyone had reasons for why they did what they did. I will say there is one character that is unlikable but ironically because of their inability/lack of wanting to mature and move on. This book is also very much a book for the girls. Our cast of characters (other than our main character) include: a mom, a sister, two female friends, the boss, and the girlfriend. Highly recommend this book!

The cover and synopsis intrigued me. I did enjoy the writing and the snarkiness but the girl was kind of self involved and definitely needed a shake up. P.s She's the worst. The layout of the book was odd reading the letters before she even sent them or thought she was going to die. I liked this book I just didn't love it.

This was So soooo Good! And super relatable. Wether you’re younger or older, I think everyone young or old will be able to relate to this read and have a good chuckle. I’ll definitely be buying it for my sister

This book pulled me in with Tarot cards (yes, I am that person 😅) — but what really grabbed me was how real it all felt.

Becky is 29, stuck in a job that doesn’t light her up, watching everyone around her move forward while she’s… floundering. And wow, did that hit home. Chloe Seager captures that weird, anxious stage of life where you’re not exactly sure who you are or what you’re doing, but you definitely feel like you should have figured it out by now.

I felt like I was spiraling with Becky — the overthinking, the second-guessing, the comparisons. It’s raw, cringy, chaotic, and somehow so comforting. Like, “Oh hey, it’s not just me!”

It’s messy and hilarious and painfully relatable — especially if you’ve ever felt behind, lost, or like your twenties didn’t come with a manual.

Big thanks to NetGalley and William Morris for the eARC — this one really got under my skin!

I needed to read this book and I think it arrived in my life at exactly the right time 🧡 Loved the way it was written, I never got bored and literally resd the first 50% in a day…it was too good. Will definitely be reading more of Chloe!

I wasn’t sure about this book at first, but ending up really liking it! It started out with the feel of a young-adult novel but ended up having some really poignant moments and the resolution was really good. Quick, witty and thought-provoking!

TL/DR: So if you have read the book’s synopsis you have a broad idea of what this book is about. Why would I say something like that you ask? Let’s just say if you were looking for a book that takes the last person in her friend group feeling like she’s the only one who doesn’t have her life together (is that a trope?) and turning it on its head, this is that book. I felt for the FMC, Becky, I WAS Becky and I was rooting for her even as (sorry that would be a spoiler). In my humble opinion, if you liked the synopsis, get the book, I read it in one sitting. Need more? See below.

There are parts of this book that I genuinely think most of us can identify with. Feeling like you are growing apart from friends who have been in your life for what seems like forever? Living above your means because you are too embarrassed to say “it’s not really in my budget right now”. Pining after, romanticizing “the one that got away”. No?

I also loved the novel device (to me anyway) the author uses to set up the chapters and how that same device is used to bring the story full circle. I would like to thank the author, Harper Collins Publishers and NetGalley for a copy of this book. All opinions are my own and my review is voluntarily given. As always, I wish you happy reading!

One of my recent favorite genres has been “dysfunctional woman in her 20’s figuring it out” storyline, and this book embodied that to a T. The main character, Becky, hates her job, lives at home with her mom, and has somewhat toxic relationships. After a tarot reading gone wrong, she writes letters to her friends and family, telling them all how she really feels.

This book is messy in the best way, laugh out loud funny, and also full of heart. Even though Becky has her issues, I found myself rooting for her and seeing parts of myself in her journey as well. Everyone has their own 20’s crisis, and Becky just happened to send her life into quite the tailspin!

Becky’s character arc throughout the story was entertaining and kept me guessing what she would do next. Fans of chaotic, bisexual characters are definitely in for a treat!

4.5 ⭐️ rounded up

Thank you to Netgalley and William Morrow for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This book immediately caught my attention on NetGalley, and I was right to think it would be witty and fun.

Becky (FMC) , is turning 29 and life isn't going as she expected. After a tarot card reading, she pulls the Death card, and her reaction reminds me of Ron reading tea leaves to Harry (iykyk)  Her spiraling reaction to what that card exactly meant was incredibly relatable. Becky definitely makes some missteps and good choices throughout the story, but by the end, she realizes what truly matters.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️


Thank you for this eARC. This book comes out 11/18/25!

Sometimes you need a book that feels like a warm hug and a reality check rolled into one. P.S. You're the Worst is exactly that—a millennial spiral wrapped in humor, heartache, and the kind of messy honesty that makes you simultaneously cringe and cheer.

Becky is having what we might generously call a rough patch. She's about to turn thirty, still lives with her mom, hates her job, and watches all her friends tick off life milestones while she's just... existing. Then she gets a tarot reading (thanks to a gift card and desperation), sees the death card, and completely loses it. Convinced she's about to die, she writes brutally honest letters to everyone in her life and sends them off. Plot twist: she doesn't die, but her relationships sure do.

Here's what I loved about this book—Becky is deeply, painfully relatable without being a perfect cinnamon roll. She overthinks everything, avoids difficult conversations, and makes choices that had me yelling "NO DON'T DO THAT" at my Kindle. But that's exactly why it works. She's not always likeable, and that's the point. She's the hero and villain of her own story, which feels incredibly real for anyone who's ever sabotaged themselves while knowing better. Chloe Seager nails that particular brand of late-twenties panic where everyone else seems to have figured out the secret to adult life while you're still wondering if you're doing everything wrong. The way Becky measures herself against her friends' engagement announcements and house purchases—it's so specific and so universal at the same time.

The humor hits perfectly throughout. Seager has this knack for making Becky's internal monologue both laugh-out-loud funny and genuinely moving. The secondhand embarrassment from those letters is intense, but watching Becky slowly figure out how to rebuild from the wreckage is incredibly satisfying.

What really got me was how the book handles growth. Becky doesn't magically transform into someone who has it all together—she just learns how to be kinder to herself and more honest about what she actually wants. It's messy and imperfect, which feels so much more authentic than a neat bow-tied ending. This is perfect for anyone who's ever felt stuck watching other people's highlight reels while living in their own behind-the-scenes chaos. If you like books with Fleabag energy, sharp wit, and characters who feel like real people making real mistakes, this should definitely be on your list.

Easy, funny, and surprisingly insightful—exactly what I needed. Sometimes the best books are the ones that remind you that falling apart doesn't mean you're broken, just human.

Becky is given a free tarot reading as a birthday gift and is shown the death card within her tarot reading. After having a mental crisis, she begins to write letters expressing her feelings toward family and friends and watches every relationship crumble at her feet. As a millennial and individual still figuring out what she wants to do with her life, Becky is faced with a dilemma: where do I go from here?

This novel truly encompasses what it means to figure life out in your 20s. Becky dislikes her job, struggles in her relationships with others, and has no idea what to do with her life as she sends letters telling all individuals in her life exactly how she feels about them. As an individual in her 20s, I may have never seen letters to others in my life and had to rebuild every part of my life; however, I have lost friends, switched jobs, and felt like I am behind in life in comparison to my friends.

Becky’s story not only embodies struggles and change that happens in your 20s but also provides the reader with a deep dive into the feelings related to growing up and moving onto the next stage of your life. We all grow and change through our early adulthood, and change can be messy, strange, and cause relationships to shift or end. We all grow through these changes – though Becky’s growth began with a tarot reading.

If you like the following ideas, you will love this book:

1. Change & your 20s
2. Rebuilding your Life
3. Self Love
4. Applications of Tarot

A special thank you to Chloe Seager, William Morrow Paperbacks, and Netgalley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I received an ARC for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

P.S. You're the Worst by Chloe Seager is a breezy read about a woman named Becky coming to terms with her life as her 20's are ending courtesy of a late night tarot reading. Through a series of letters, she unintentionally sets off a chain of events in which she finally needs to face her life head-on; for better or for worse.

As she starts to sort her life out amongst the shambles that she has made of it, she starts to realize what is truly important in her life. Like the old saying goes, "out with the old and in with the new"!

I truly enjoyed this light-hearted read about life, love, and the power of female relationships in all its forms.

Thank you to Net Galley and the author for the ARC.

I spent the majority of this book screaming internally at the main character and hated nearly every decision that she made every step of the way. BUT, it was almost impossible to put down (and I didn't hate the way tarot was used like I usually do).

I think my students will like this one, a woman, after a tarot reading, thinks she is dying and says all the things she has been holding in for years , to her friends, her mother, her boss, the boy that got away and then has to live with the consequences of her actions. She is 29 but reads like a lot younger, so my students will be able to relate to her struggles and her coming of age story. Light, easy to read

Have you ever been stuck in a self centered rut, realizing that you are a hot mess, yet not knowing or truly caring how to move forward? Becky, a newly turned 29 year old, has totally misinterpreted her first tarot card reading and is absolutely certain that the "death" card means her own death will occur very soon. She mistakenly presumes that since her death is in her very near future, she should hop on a plane heading to Bali, away from her miserable life, away from her poor choices, and away from her imminent death. As fate would have it, she ends up staying in London, now unemployed, homeless and friendless due to her poor choice to send cruelly honest letters to several people since she is going to die anyway.

This is an emotional roller coaster that is both terribly sad and funny at the same time, in which you witness lost soul Becky struggle with the choices she has made, overthink everything which is totally unproductive, as she sets forth on a journey to right her wrongs against family, friends, as well as herself. Her story like that of the phoenix rising from the ashes - not pretty, but introspective, Becky's soul-searching journey is full of heartfelt moments, deep reflection, anxiety, laughter and tears.

This book perfectly captures that liminal space between falling apart and figuring it out.

P.S. You’re the Worst is a millennial spiral wrapped in a hug of humor, heartache, and hard-won clarity. Chloe Seager delivers an irresistibly sharp, deeply relatable coming-of-age story about what happens when one woman mistakes a tarot card pull for a literal death sentence... and ends up overhauling her entire life in the most chaotic (and cringe-worthy) way possible.

Becky’s voice is raw, unfiltered, and laugh-out-loud funny—but what makes this novel shine is the emotional authenticity beneath the snark. From feeling left behind in a sea of weddings and promotions, to the paralyzing fear of turning thirty without a single life box ticked, Becky’s internal monologue had me nodding, wincing, and rooting for her all at once. Her brutally honest letters? Peak secondhand embarrassment. Her downward spiral? Painfully accurate. But the payoff? So satisfying.

For fans of Beth O’Leary, Dolly Alderton, and Fleabag energy, this is the kind of book that sneaks up on you with its wit and then lingers with its emotional punch. It’s perfect for readers navigating their own “what am I doing with my life” era.

Funny, cathartic, and surprisingly hopeful, P.S. You’re the Worst is a bold reminder that sometimes the only way forward… is total, glorious collapse.

Thank you to William Morrow and Chloe Seager for the ARC—this one’s going on my permanent rec list.

As a woman who has gone through the "almost 30" crisis in their life, I greatly enjoyed this book. It was so spot on in feelings of being stuck in life, or not being where your peers/friends might be and the comparison game. It was so relatable and so infuriating at the same time. Infuriating because from the outside you just want to tell the main character how to "fix" their problems or to "grow up" and deal with them. And you realize that you feel that way because it's so relatable. I could see myself in a lot of the ways that the main character felt/acted.

The main character was a sullen and woe is me kind of person for a bit, but the journey of her growth into becoming an adult that realizes (or got a kick in the pants) that they need to get momentum in life, is so good and very real. I loved that the characters were portrayed in ways that you could literally see in your own friend group. The relationship dynamics were interesting and very natural.

I really enjoyed this, it was a great story and pretty different from what I normally read. I'm glad I branched out and will be doing so again.

I’m not going to lie, this book was a hard read for me. The best part about it was that I flew through it! I finished this book in a few hours and I’m so thankful for that. I guess that speaks to the author's ability to write the story. However, I just dont think this story is for me. From the beginning, our main character, Becky, is stuck in her life with a job she hates, friends she kinds doesn’t like anymore, an ex that she can’t get over and living with her mom.She is miserable in everything that she does and this makes it seem like everyone around her is just as terrible of a person as she is. Like she is so self absorbed she can’t see like 3 feet in front of her. We do get to see her growth throughout the book that I had to recognize after finishing the book and writing this review, so I’ll give it that. Like many other reviews have said, Becky is incredibly immature for 29 years old and it got to a point where it was just so frustrating to read to me.

I think this could have been a better read for me if we got to focus more on the aftermath of Becky sending the letters. We got so much lead up to the tarot reading which led her to write these letters and send them. Like you get to know who Becky is and why she hates her life so much then everything happens so quickly. The book does rely on Becky’s internal monologue to continue the story and that’s where most of the book takes place (not really my thing). From my understanding, Becky has been a terrible person to those she’s closest with in general. Then she sends these really mean letters to them all. And then everything is resolved entirely too quickly. With the exception of one person, all the hurt and pain caused by these letters and her previous actions are swept under the rug after like one conversation. I really wanted to see more self reflection and growth. AND!!! Spoiler ahead: I wish we could have gotten more time with her sister. I really thought that was where the growth was going to happen and they were going to build a strong relationship together after all these years. But nooooo. I wish we could have also seen some closure and growth with their deadbeat dad!

Anyways, yes this was a quick read. I wish it was longer or cut out in some parts to add to the growth area and it would have been a much better read for me. This book is great for you if you love messy characters who don’t have their lives together at all and found family. This book is NOT for you if you can’t stand second hand embarrassment. Thank you to NetGalley, William Morrow and the author for an ARC for my honest review :)

What a precious little novel about finding yourself and accepting your flaws- love yourself anyway! We all want to be like Becky.. unless we don't.
