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.

Becky is spiraling. She feels her friends are pulling away, she’s living with her mom, she doesn’t like her job, and she’s in love with her ex-boyfriend who has been dating someone else for years. When she interprets a tarot card reading as a sign she’s going to perish soon, she sends several letters to her friends and family telling them how she really feels. Of course, Becky is very much alive after the letters are delivered and now has to deal with the consequences of her actions!

This is a fun and lightly chaotic read with a protagonist that is equal parts endearing and annoying. I found Becky’s inner monologue to be amusing and appreciated her willingness to listen and grow.

Thank you to William Morrow and NetGalley for the opportunity to read a copy.

Reviewed for NetGalley:

This one started off strong, but then I found myself losing interest as the plot progressed. Unfortunately, just glazed over the second half of the story.

"I think when moving forward doesn't work out for me, I go backward."

Becky has been floundering around trying to figure out what she wants to do with her life. She is watching her friends successfully navigate careers and relationships while she is living at home with her mom. She has been feeling distant from her friends for a while and it seems she is going through like a quarter-life crisis.

It was honestly relatable to me, so I imagine it will also resonate with other people. Feeling like the odd one out in your friend group when everyone else seemingly had their lives together and you were still just treading water. Throw in pining over an ex that you wish you hadn't given up on and you have a recipe for a pretty depressing outlook on your life.

A trip to a psychic for a tarot reading, changes everything. When the death card is drawn, Becky freaks out, understandably, not realizing death doesn't mean actually dying. The medium asks her, if you were dying, what would you do? It seemed to the spark Becky needed to actually LIVE her life instead of just being a passive observer, at least for a moment. But, things don't quite work out the way she was expecting them to.

I was unsure how to feel about Becky. Sometimes it seems like she doesn't think things through completely, like actions and consequences. Othertimes, it seems like she thinks TOO much. Obsesses and overthinks every little thing until she can talk herself around. Her friend Angie gives her some hard truths, but she gets offended and sticks her head back in the sand instead of maybe reflecting on what was said. For the moment.

I do love the growth she shows through the second half of the book. Things aren't easy, but that is life. Something we can again relate to I think. Without spoiling anything, I was really happy with the way the story went. There were a lot of funny moments throughout the book and while her friendships go through some challenges, I think they come out stronger for having gone through them.

Thank you to #NetGalley for letting me read and review this early!

I was really looking forward to this one as a millennial who has been through the tarot card phase but it unfortunately it was not relatable or worth finishing. Gonna give the author the benefit of the doubt and assume we are *supposed* to hate Becky based on the title but jeez this character sucks and I do not wanna spend time listening to her thoughts.

3.5 ☆ for this fun, quick, coming of age!

Becky's incredibly anxious, over-thinking, inner monologue was so relatable. I love a coming of age with fun vibes, and this was that!

Chloe did a great job writing a character that self-sabotages and doesn't see it until they're forced to. Her insecurities became so normal to her that she projected onto everyone around her.

I love that Becky's story with Max was written realistically in a way that was best for her growth and healing at the end. I love the growth in dynamic between Becky and her friends. Becky got a different perspective on her friend's relationship and realized she was looking at her boyfriend all wrong - based on her negative judgments. It speaks to so much truth we experience on the daily.

Overall, I really enjoyed this read and would recommend it for anyone looking for a fun, light read.

This was the first book I’ve read by Chloe Seager, and I really enjoyed it! It was funny, relatable, and had a great mix of heart and humor. I’ll definitely be checking out more of her work!

In this witty and surprisingly touching novel, Becky’s dreaded thirtieth birthday collides with a dire tarot reading, sparking an existential panic that turns her life upside down—in the best possible way.

Becky is a wonderfully relatable mess. Still living at home, stuck in a job she can’t stand, and not-so-secretly mourning her ex, she’s the kind of protagonist who makes you laugh, cringe, and root for her all at once. When a tarot reader drops the bombshell that she’s about to die, Becky does what we might in a full-blown crisis: she writes brutally honest letters to everyone she knows, thinking she has nothing left to lose.

What follows is a delightful unraveling and rebuilding of Becky’s life. The fallout from the letters is both chaotic and cathartic, forcing long-avoided conversations, unexpected apologies, and some much-needed self-reflection. The story balances sharp humor with genuine emotion, capturing that awkward but beautiful space between who we are and who we hope to become.

The author excels at blending comedy with heartache, using Becky’s “death sentence” as a clever catalyst for change rather than a cheap gimmick. The supporting characters—from Becky’s overbearing mom to her hilariously smug friends—are vivid and sharply drawn, providing plenty of opportunities for both conflict and growth.

Overall, this is funny, heartfelt, and charming, and is a perfect read for anyone who’s ever felt stuck, lost, or just a little late to the party. Becky’s journey is messy, awkward, and incredibly satisfying—an honest reminder that it’s never too late to rewrite your story.

When I started reading this book, if you told me that I would rate it 5 stars I don’t think I would’ve believed you. And yet, I did. I thought this book was going to give me an existential crisis, instead it gave me hope that not all is lost.

P.S. You’re the Worst is a late bloomer coming of age crisis, with manic (and lightly unsavory) letters, wake up calls, and a character driven redemption arc, slice of life.

I love Becky. She’s both the hero and a bit of the villain in her own story. I feel like I relate to her in many ways, being in my late 20’s occasionally feeling behind my friends and family in life, feeling stuck and not knowing how to get unstuck.

Her story starts with a tarot reading gone a bit wrong, drawing the death card — then experiencing near death experiences on the way home convince her that the card truly did set her on death’s path. As a result Becky unequivocally blows up her life, but it doesn’t end as she so drastically feared. Forced to reckon with the consequences, Becky is able grow as a person, mend relationships she sort of blew up, and learns how to be graceful with herself and others.

I know I’ve definitely been guilty of some Becky-like behavior in my life. But she was so relatable, and made me feel like I too can get it together. That even though I can muck things up sometimes that I’m still lovable, forgivable, and worthy of the former two. If Becky can get it together then I fully feel like there’s still hope for me out there! This one was for the girlies in their self-doubt, plastic bag drifting through the wind era.

When 29-year-old non-believer Becky receives a gift certificate for a tarot reading, she is certain nothing will come of it. Until the death card appears. Now, I’m hesitant to insert myself into this story, but I should make you aware that I’m familiar with the death card and its implications. I’m also familiar with the tower card(if you know you know) and its implications. Anyway, back to Becky. So as soon as Becky came into contact with our friend, death, I knew the theatrics were on their way. Her quirky antics were cringeworthy and exactly what I was hoping for from our protagonist.
OPINION:
I’m obsessed with Becky. Unlikeable? yes. But lovable? Also yes. Our protagonist and our antagonist are the same person. There’s something so real about watching someone rip their life apart by their own accord. It makes me feel like maybe it isn’t too late for me. Maybe all of my mistakes aren’t unforgivable. As someone who is also lost in the sauce of my late 20s(GROSS) and essentially friendless(love u mom), I’m guilty of too much Becky behavior for my own comfort.
If you love a character-driven redemption story, you’ll love Becky. If you don’t love avoidable consequences and anxiety, you’ll hate Becky. No matter your feelings for Becky, P.S. You’re The Worst was an easy read. This one’s for the girlies.

*P.S. You’re the Worst* was cringy, funny, and totally relatable! I think most of us go through that phase in life where we look around and feel like everyone else is headed in the right direction, except us. However, unlike Becky, most don’t turn to a tarot card reading for guidance then completely spiral after pulling the Death card! 😅

I really enjoyed reading this one, Becky’s journey is a hilarious reminder of how easy it is to let emotions dictate decisions, especially when life feels uncertain. Watching her navigate the chaos with humor made for a fun and entertaining read. The spiral was cringeworthy, but the growth was therapeutic. If you're looking for a book that delivers laughs, real-life lessons, and a touch of existential dread wrapped in sarcasm, *P.S. You’re the Worst* is worth the read!

This book follows the main character, Becky, who is 29 and feeling stuck. She gets a tarot reading that has her being honest with everyone in her life but in a way that blows up her life. We follow her attempts to fix things with her loved ones, get her life in order, and try to be happy.

Overall it was a nice take on a coming of age story with a main character older than the typical one used, which I appreciated a lot as a 30 year old. While I love the premise and most of the story- I hated Becky. She was overly annoying, selfish, and I didn’t find her endearing at all.

After an ill-fated tarot card reading predicts her demise, Becky airs her grievances and sets off to travel the world before she kicks the bucket. Unfortunately, things don’t go as planned, and now she must face the consequences of her unfiltered honesty. With no job, no place to live, and no meaningful relationships, she’s forced to start over.

This book was a rollercoaster of anxiety and emotion. The secondhand embarrassment was palpable—cringe-inducing at times—but it was essential to Becky’s growth. I think everyone in their late 20s experiences that moment of existential dread when it feels like everyone else is moving on to the next phase of life while you’re stuck. I really enjoyed the rambling thoughts and tangents that ran through her mind; they made her feel authentic and relatable. Watching her arc and personal growth was genuinely rewarding. I fully expect to see this adapted into a movie or TV series within the next 12–18 months.

Thank you to NetGalley and William Morris for the advanced copy.

A book that should make me feel panicked and stressed about my life actually ended making me feel motivated while also making m crack up with laughter. Our main character Becky has been told she’s dying and decides to write some unsavory letters to her friends and family. It turns out she’s not dying and has to face the consequences of her actions. This book was hilarious, written well, and it definitely kept me wondering what was gonna happen next. Not only do you root for Becky but you root for everyone else as well. I highly recommend!

This was a decent book. I like the premises of the story and how the MC, Becky, was writing letters to those close to her and then after pulling a death card in a tarot reading, she spirals. I think that one thing I didn't enjoy was that the MC is 29 and she's acting a lot younger than that and just seemed like she wasn't as mature as she was implied to be. There also was a huge play on miscommunication trope with her and everyone around her and its one of my least favorite tropes. All in all, it was a good read I think people will enjoy this book.

Thank you Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I saw this on NetGalley and had to grab it because I tell people they are the worst all the time. Have no fear, I say it about myself too. You know who isn’t the worst? @williammorrowbooks, thank you so much for my gifted copy. On to my thoughts. I enjoyed this coming of age story. I felt for Becky. There was so much authenticity to her story. At times, I could see why her people were frustrated with her but she really did have good intentions. The flow of the story was very smooth and I read this is one sitting. This is a great book, if you love to read about the ups and downs in all kinds of different relationships.

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!!
