First and foremost, Becky is the worst. She’s immature and selfish and unkind. She is also deeply relatable. Hit me right in the heart in several ways and I found myself contemplating heavily on my own life circumstances and the friendships I’ve let fade into the background. I also let my mind drift to the tarot deck I have that is often neglected. What will my cards say and how will I, like Becky, use them to move forward? Maybe not so haphazardly, though. And I think that’s what makes this a fantastic read. When you’re so deeply immersed in how it could potentially change your own life, the book is a five star.

I had so much fun reading this! I don't know that I would have grabbed an early copy if it weren't for the Netgalley Camp, but that makes it more fun.

Becky is one of those characters where you are reading it for her growth, but while you are waiting it can also be so aggravating. She is hilarious though and I identified with her more than I really want to admit. She was a disaster and also prone to overreaction, and I might be slightly similar in those regards.

I am also a sucker for anything that involves letter writing, so I enjoyed Becky sending out these letters to really express the things she has been internalizing and unable or unwill.ng to say.

This was a fast and easy read, even with some of the heavier topics. If you are in your 20s/30s or just enjoy reading about someone trying to get their life figured out, I would definitely recommend this one!

Happy I got to ARC read this!

As I was reading this I was honestly just reflecting on my own life. I think we all can kept caught up in the past and too scared to move on towards the future.

I thought this was a wonderful story about growth and that everyone is at different points in their life. The female lead Becky had a lot of self reflection and overcame living in the past. Realizing everything may have not be the way she’s been seeing it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

I loved the concept of this book! It reminded me of that one episode in Grey’s Anatomy where the guy records nasty messages for the people in his life because he thought he was dying.

Becky is in her late 20’s and is feeling like life is very lacking for her at the moment. So she goes to see a psychic who tells her she’s dying, which sends her into a spiral that has her writing some cringy letters to people in her life and she sends them out. By the time she realizes that she’s not ACTIVELY dying, it’s too late for her to get those letters back.

I love the fast pace of the book and would definitely reccomend it to anyone in their 20’s who feel as if their life isn’t where they want it to be. It is a bit cringy at some parts. I loved how Becky self-reflects on herself after her friends tell her things about her.

P.S. You’re the Worst by Chloe Seager follows Becky, a millennial on the cusp of turning the dreaded thirty years old, as she pulls the “death” card at her first tarot reading and panics about her imminent demise. As a result, she pens letters to her closest friends and family, only to survive to see the following morning. This was my first read by Chloe Seager, and I absolutely adored it!
By far the best part of reading this book was Seager’s writing style, which is equal parts witty and deeply relatable. Anyone who has ever struggled with feelings of regret, concerns about falling behind in life, or anxiety that all of their friends and family secretly hate them is sure to feel empathy for Becky and her ever-increasing list of plights.
Overall, this was a funny and engaging read that I would recommend to all adult readers who enjoy coming of age stories, or humorous realistic fiction. Thank you HarperCollins for providing this book for review through NetGalley.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐.5/5
Becky was a very difficult character to like, but I did enjoy seeing her journey and her coming to terms with the fact that she was part of the problem the whole time.

Becky just finished celebrating her 29th birthday with a party that her mother threw for her. She is dreading the party and seeing her friends except for Max, her ex-boyfriend of 5 years and her secret crush for years. She hates her job and feels disconnected from her friends and family. She is estranged from her father. One of her friends gifts her with a free tarot reading and the reader pulls a "Death" card leading Becky to believe that she is about to die. She writes letters to her friends and family with all of her inner thoughts about them and her current regrets with their relationship in a not-so-friendly way.

When she realizes that the tarot reader might not have been literal about "immenint death," she must have the consequences of her letters. The ensuing journey is filled with second hand embarrassesment, tough conversations, and hard truths. There is some good humor spread throughout as well. I would have liked to see more of the side characters because I enjoyed them more than Becky sometimes, but overall it was entertaining and insightful!

I want to thank NetGalley and author Chloe Seager for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

This is your standard messy burnt-out 20-something-year-old who blew up her life and is trying to put herself back together. She has good friends, in my opinion, helping her along throughout this slice of life story. It’s cute and funny ( very New Girl vibes). The story is set in the UK with quite some pop culture references (watch out for those). I enjoyed the fact that the FMC is "unlikable" however, Seager convinced me to like and root for her throughout this story. This book focuses on the FMC's redemption arc while she faces the consequences of her actions. She’s actively growing and making amends without romance being the motivator for her to change (the tarot reading being what gets her moving is funny). The side characters were great, I especially loved Phil (he reminded me of Kronk). The side characters were very well developed. They were her support system, but she still had to make a change on her own. Overall, the book was well structured and paced. I did note some spelling errors in the arc, not enough to distract from my reading experience though, but it is an arc so consider that.

I so loved reading P.S. You're the Worst. Becky, nearly 30 and lost while all her friends move on around her, is beyond relatable. Her experience is not uncommon and that makes her endearing as a character. Also as a thirty-something who dabbles in tarot, I just loved the story here.

Thank you to NetGalley and William Marrow for providing me with an advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review!!

What if one tarot reading changed the entire trajectory of your life? That’s what happened to Becky. She didn’t believe in tarot too much until she finally had a reading. The downside? She pulled the death card. Becky now thinks she’s going to die soon. What does every person thinking they are about to die do? Write letters to their loved ones! But Becky doesn’t have anything nice to say. After a drunk night of writing her most kept secrets on paper, she drops them in a post box and waits for death to find her. But it doesn’t. Now Becky has to answer to all her written words. Will she survive this horrible event or will death actually find her?

This book was okay! I enjoyed stumbling through Becky’s life and honestly, it made me feel better about mine! It was an easy read and I liked the character growth of our FMC. My biggest qualm with this book is its constant references to pop culture and current events. Things to this nature don’t age well and I hope authors will attempt to refrain from doing so in their future works. Overall I had a good time! I’m settling on a 3/5 stars. I would read more by this author in the future!

Here’s something I never thought I’d say in a book review: I would **NEVER** have picked this up if it weren’t for NetGalley Summer Camp.

At 31, I’ve read my share of therapy-through-fiction books, and I have to say—begrudgingly but wholeheartedly—this one gets my stamp of approval. At first, it hit way too close to home, and I, like our main character Becky, prefer to live in denial. Hence my initial trepidation. I mean, truly, Chloe Seager saw me, dragged me, but EVENTUALLY hugged me. It’s smart, funny, emotionally sharp, and completely committed to the mess of transformation.

Becky is stuck. She hates her life, and after one too many drinks, she cashes in a gift card for one free tarot reading. That detail matters, because in her drunken spiral she becomes convinced she’s about to die. Imminently. And like a proper millennial heroine raised on 90s romcoms, she writes six deeply personal letters to the people she’s never had the guts to confront, mails them out, and books a one-way ticket to Bali.

But the next morning? She’s still very much alive—and has to face the fallout.

What I loved most is that Becky doesn’t get a quick fix. She has to make multiple clumsy, painful, sometimes hilarious attempts at rebuilding her life. The story doesn’t brush past the hard stuff; it honors it. The chaos is hilarious, but never frivolous. It treats Becky’s growth with the nuance it deserves—and reminds us that even our most cringe-worthy moments matter. Because our stories, no matter how small they might feel in the grand scheme, are important. Sure, I squirmed through the beginning (you know that itchy, too exposed feeling?) but by the end, I felt fortunate to witness Becky's journey. She put in the work and truly earns her happy ending. It was delightful and triumphant!

And now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to finally open the tarot deck I ordered three years ago and never touched. To all my fellow 30-somethings still figuring it out: best of luck. You are phenomenal!

I liked this book but felt that it fell a little flat and I at times found myself really annoyed with the FMC for most of the story.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC. A cute, fast read where you want to reach in and shake the main character but also, want to give her a big hug because it's clear she needs one. Lots of great characters, loved the concept of the letters and what chaos they caused but then the solutions and life changes that were made because of the letters. Becky is a character that I think a lot of 29 year old women could relate to, stuck in a weird time in her life and "knocking on death's door". How many of us haven't felt stuck in their life at one point and thought about burning it all down and running away?

Heartfelt, humorous, and sometimes painfully awkward journey through the emotional fallout of unfiltered honesty. Written in a relatable, engaging women’s fiction style, this novel explores themes of vulnerability, truth-telling, and the importance of living—and speaking—from the heart. Becky’s story is a reminder that sometimes, saying what you truly feel in the moment can be both freeing and transformative.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this delightful and thought-provoking book.

I really appreciated this book, I love when perspective forces people out of their comfort zones. I liked going along for Becky's ride and seeing her try new things. I did not really love the secondary characters, especially her mom(maybe that was the point?)

Firstly I want to say thank you to William Morrow and Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. This book was so relatable with the fact that Becky feels like she is falling behind since her friends are starting businesses, getting married, or even moving into a flat with their significant others, while Becky is living with her mom and working at a job she hates. It’s so easy to related to Becky no matter what stage you are in life! I also just really loved the way the book was set up with the letters falling in between the chapters! If you’re looking for a good Women’s fiction book, I would recommend giving this a read. You can pick up this book when it’s published on November 18th!

This book was so relatable as a millennial that is still trying to find her place in the world. Becky is having a total meltdown after a psychic tells her that she’s going to die. She decides to do the things that she probably shouldn’t do. I honestly hated her mom, straight from the beginning. It’s a great story about finding yourself.

3.5 🌟

"I’ve always liked the idea of there being some sort of wise, omnipotent magic that has all the answers...." (Ch 2)

Women's Fiction, New Adult Coming of Age

One of my favorite books growing up was Shel Silverstein's Where the Sidewalk Ends and one poem in particular 'Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would Not Take the Garbage Out' popped into mind while reading Becky's story with her chaoic and frantic vibes. Like at any moment, her heap (or mountain) of troubles was going to come crashing down in a rain of debris.

"I am but a sad, weak-ankled clown, and they my nightmarish audience of shame." (Ch 3)

This book is like a series of angsty regrets and laments. At almost 30, she doesn't know what to do with her life, she's not quite over her ex, feels like she’s outside looking in when it comes to her friends, doesn’t love her job, and lives with her ever-criticizing mother.

She receives a tarot reading that has her spiraling further. Thinking her life is coming to an end, she acts on impulse. The should'ves, would'ves, could'ves run rampant through her thoughts.

Yet dawn breaks, and she wakes, to her surprise and horror, she's not dead... and now panicky, she imagines her life has been flipped upside-down because of her acts of impetuousness.

"This entire day, this entire week, has been a terrible, terrible dream." (Ch 10)

Friendships can and do veer off-course as people change and grow either together or apart. Miscommunication and misinterpretations can also be a big wedge in relationships. I thought her friends' reactions were a bit harsh, in my opinion. I get it, but their attitudes pre-letters were distant toward her to begin with. Becky has to face the hard consequences and find her way with or without them.

"But I wonder if I’ve been choosing what sticks, forgetting things I didn’t want to see, and building my own reality." (Ch 25)

Good wake-up call, self-discovery, and growth. When your blinders are ripped off and you finally see what has been there all the time.

Currently reading, and I'm enjoying this so much. Becky is a pretty relatable character. The interstitials are a good touch.

Wow, what started out as a very simplistic story quickly developed into a complex tale about what happens when we question the choices we make and the people we decide to spend our lives while also managing to be funny and an extremely compelling read. Super fun and super smart, I totally recomend it!

Thank you Netgalley for this Camp Netgalley ARC read. The premise of this book had so much potential! This is coming of age story where a woman literally implodes where whole life based on a tarot card reading. Becky is a 29yr old who still lives at home with her mom, in a dead end job and pinning over her ex boyfriend. All of her friends have seem to have these flourishing lives, and Becky is resentful. For her 29th birthday a friend gives her a session for a tarot card reading. Thinking the cards are predicting her upcoming demise, she frantically writes every person in her life a letter expressing her true feelings. I personally thought the letters were interesting and the beginning start off so strong. However, as the story progressed I found myself not enjoying any one of the characters. Becky was super self absorbed, and misinterpreted so many things. The growth/resolutions seemed very rushed in the end. If you love coming of age stories with really flawed characters and complicated family/friend dynamics, then you would probably enjoy this book.
