Becky is just sad. You can't help but pitty this girl, she just can't seem to catch a break or pull herself out of her own head to help herself. You almost don't like her because she's too self-deprecating. But those always make for the best growth opportunities. Becky is like many of us millennials feeling like we're watching all our friends pass us by. Easy for them to tell us that we just need to 'get it together'. But it's a two way street and I think Chloe does a great job of not only Becky growing but also her friends and her mom. My only reason this isn't a 5 star read was I wanted an even more fulfilling epilogue, but I'm a snob about my epilogues. I need epic happy endings but this one was still great.

and the crowds left feeling …. extremely unfinished and underwhelmed .

Definitely not the book for me, I picked it because Netgalley was offering it for the camp thing and it looked interesting. The build up to the tarot and letters was really cool and then everything after seemed very rushed . Becky was very unlikable, albeit that was the point! The growth was good and cute, but we miss out on the ending ?

She breaks it off with max who was a cheater and didn’t deserved her anyways, and then we just timeskip and go “things are working out better!” Which leaves me just feeling very unsatisfied.

I wish we got to see atleast a chapter or two more . What her job looks like , apartment & interactions with her friends . Her sister and Fran. The unexplored ending definitely made this a bad read for me .

Thank you to NetGalley and William Morrow Publishing for the ARC!

I usually don't read coming-of-age stories, but I was intrigued by the premise of a gal upending her life because of a tarot reading. P.S. You’re the Worst was a refreshing read. It was laugh-out-loud funny, honest, cringey at times (as life is), and truly heartfelt.
One of the standout aspects for me was Becky’s character development. At times, I genuinely thought she might be a lost cause, but I never gave up on her!! Watching her crash out and then slowly rebuild her life was both frustrating and beautiful. I actually felt proud of her at the end like a friend would.
What I appreciated most was how the story didn’t try to tie everything up in a perfect bow. Some storylines (no spoilers) were left open, and that felt so real. Life rarely has neat conclusions, and the author honored that truth in a way that stuck with me.
Overall, a great read that made me want to check out more of what Chloe Seager has to offer!

Thank you to NetGalley, William Morrow and Chloe Seager for the chance to read this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

I really liked this novel. It was so refreshingly witty and chaotic. Our MC is sooo unlikable and hilariously laughable- and her growth is so rewarding. I'm a person that does not need likeable characters. Becky's life is a hot mess and here for my entertainment. But how much of that mess is self made.. or even a product of her environment? I loved the structure of the book- how the letters were interspersed and both in the beginning and the end. It made for an interesting flow to the book and provided closure.

I very much enjoyed the romp through the daily catastrophes of Becky's hot mess of a life.  I found myself laughing out loud a few times, as well as cringing, while she found herself in many faux paus moments.  

The author has a smooth writing style that I enjoyed and I was able to finish this quick read in 2 days time, taking note of the many life's lessons found within.

Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for this ARC in exchange for a review which is my own opinion.

#PSYouretheWorst #NetGalley

I read this arc has part of Camp NetGalley 2025.

What would you do if you thought you only had days or hours left? Becky decides to blow up her entire life. But it may have been exactly what she needed.

P.S. You’re the Worst is a very witty book and while all of the circumstances may not be entirely relatable, I think any woman nearing 30 has had many of the same thoughts and feelings as Becky; feeling like you are not living up to your 5 year plan being stuck in your job, and/or your relationship.

Becky of this story reminded me of another “I didn’t think this all the way through” Becky from one of my favorite book series, Confessions of a Shopaholic. Both of our leads just happen to be in London too!

P.S. You’re the Worst is a coming of age of sorts, set in the present day. This book is light, airy and a quick read that shows sometimes in order to move forward you have to act like you might die tomorrow.

P.S. You’re the Worst by Chloe Seager is a witty, heartfelt, and surprisingly reflective story about what happens when life doesn’t go according to plan.

We follow Becky, a 30-year-old who feels like she’s stuck in a rut while everyone around her seems to be thriving — careers, babies, picture-perfect relationships… Meanwhile, Becky’s juggling a job that drains her, complicated relationships, and a general sense of “What am I even doing?”

In a moment of desperation, she turns to a tarot reading — and gets told she’s going to die. Convinced this is the end, Becky writes heartfelt (and slightly chaotic) letters to friends and family. But… surprise! She wakes up the next day very much alive and now has to face the aftermath of all the brutally honest words she shared.

This is a quirky, sharp, and deeply relatable journey of self-discovery, healing, and learning that life isn’t always about the big milestones — it’s about showing up for yourself, one imperfect day at a time. A wonderful read for anyone who’s ever felt a little bit lost.

Thank you Netgalley (@netgalley ) and Chloe Seager for the opportunity to read this ARC!

🌟Rating: ⭐️
💧Drip-o-Meter: 💧
💗Something I Loved: Buddy reading this with a couple of my favorite booksta friends. Honestly this saved this book from being quickly DNF'd and our chat was the only real highlight from this experience. Our commentary deserves a book deal.
🫤Something I Would Have Changed: Well… ngegh (inside joke)… almost everything? Tbh I just found the characters to be far too unlikable and without enough redeeming qualities. I also think they all need extensive amounts of psychiatrist help.
🥰Favorite Moment: Ooo I actually have two. There was a diss on Trump at one point 🙌🏼 and a joke about the Hobbit that actually made me chuckle. These were not enough to save it but…
🌶️Spiciest Scene: There was brief kissing at one point. Even that was 👎🏼
📚Standalone vs. Series: Standalone.
📖Would I Recommend: That’s a no. I spent the majority of it annoyed with pretty much every single character in the book, and although there was a brief 15ish pages toward the end where I hated it less (my multiple gummies had kicked in and I started seeing the FMC, Becky, as more mentally unstable and pitiful than insufferable) it wasn’t enough to bring this one back from the depths of hell to which I’d already banished it.

Firstly thanks to Natgallery and the publisher for the arc.

I will start by saying that Becky is very immature as a 29 year old but also I can understand to some level that she feels like her life is stagnant. She hates her job, lives with her mom, her friends are moving on in their lives and she's still in love with her ex. She finds out she's dying so she writes very mean letters to all her friends and mom, then decides to take a one way trip to Bali!

Becky last minute isn't able to leave and finds out the consequences of her actions the hard way. I think the forgiveness's of her friends were a little quick but also shows how much her friends care about her. And Becky learns about herself a bit more through her friends and finds how to be a better person.

I enjoyed reading all of Becky's cringe worthy lessons and mistakes. I really enjoyed her figuring out her love life a little bit more with her ex. But I was yelling at the book that she should have texted Vera sooner.

3.75 stars

The overwhelming self-pity party and the whining (or as the Brits would say, "whinging") in this book left a lot to be desired. It was a struggle to get past the first few chapters. Any redemption arc seemed contrived and unappreciated. Disappointing.

I got off to a rocky start with this book. I didn't love the very 2024 references straight off the bat. It was a bit jarring. I feel like the story really found its footing about a quarter of the way in. From then on I was invested. I started to really care for Becky and root for her. I could relate to the coming of age drama and the growing pains of stepping into who you are becoming. Maybe not as dramatically, but I feel like we've all been there....or will be soon enough.

I really liked the book over all. It felt nostalgic, but also new at the same time. I could imagine this being adapted into a hilarious movie that I would watch.

Thank you HarperCollins Publishers and NetGalley for an advance reader’s ebook.

2.75. The title is perfect. Becky is actually the worst character I have read in awhile. She is immature, selfish and lacked drive. Max was egotistical and self serving. I enjoyed Dami and Phil, minor characters. They were real as were Angie and Leila.

The setting was appropriate for the novel. The writing was pretty good. I was intrigued at the beginning. I liked the tarot part of the plot. I wasn’t surprised at most of the plot. I was able to predict most of what going to happen, especially during the Paris portion and Max’s behavior afterwards.

I didn’t hate reading the book but I had a hard time with Becky’s behavior. I was happy she matured and her behavior changed although I thought it happened rather quickly.

This was my second ARC ever and it was a hard one to get through. The first few chapters were long and dragged on and I just wanted them to end. Finally it started to get better and the chapters were shorter which made me read through the book a lot faster. Honestly this wasn’t my favorite book of the year. I think I would have enjoyed it more when I was younger even though I’m not much older than Becky. But she was just so whiny. I’m happy everything worked out for her, but it was hard to get through. I do like that it talks about friendship, relationship with her mom and ex boyfriend. Fun little parts. I’m just glad Becky grows up by the end of the book!

I went into this book fully hooked by the premise: misunderstanding a tarot reading and writing brutally honest letters before expecting to drop dead sounded like an incredible setup. And honestly, the tarot element was one of the highlights. I loved how that thread tied into Becky’s unraveling and rebuilding, but the execution didn’t quite live up to the potential.

I genuinely enjoyed the first half. Becky’s spiral into panic-mode was funny, messy, and relatable in a way that had me rooting for her. But after a certain point, things just started to feel forced. Becky’s choices didn’t seem to come from any real growth or emotional momentum, but more like she was nudged around to move the plot forward. Side characters were mostly props to guide her along the way, rather than feeling like full people with their own arcs.

And the romance unfortunately lacked spark. The “hate” part of the enemies-to-lovers dynamic often felt unnecessarily cruel, and I had a hard time seeing what was supposed to draw these two people together. Instead of chemistry, it felt like they were just there bickering, snapping, and then suddenly together.

Also, I really wanted to shake Becky for some of her decisions. And while I appreciate personal growth through awkwardness and cringy moments, this leaned a bit too hard into the “Hallmark movie” territory by the end with a rushed arc and an epilogue that skipped over a lot of what I would’ve liked to see play out.

That said, it’s not a total miss. If you’re in the mood for chaotic friendships, quarter-life crises, and growth through messiness, this might still hit the spot. Just temper your expectations on the romance and character depth.

My copy of this book was provided by NetGalley and William Morrow for review purposes. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I downloaded this as a part of Camp NetGalley and I didn’t really know what to expect. This had a little bit of a slow start, but once Becky got her tarot card reading, I couldn’t wait to follow along with her to see how she would navigate the next steps in her journey. This book packed an emotional punch with reflective themes, but it was gently enveloped by some comedic relief. I recommend this one!

I really wanted to love this one and I might come back to it later, but for now, P.S. You’re the Worst is heading to the DNF graveyard. I rarely DNF books, but I’ve been trying to give myself permission to pause when something’s not clicking—especially if it might just be a case of bad timing.

I struggled a bit with the heavy millennial speak, but to be fair, I’d just spent a bunch of time knee-deep in Gen Alpha slang, so literally everything was annoying me.

Going to wait until the full release and give it another try with a fresh mindset!

I won't lie, I was a little unsure going into this one how I was going to feel about it. But I got about 15% in and I was sucked into the story that was Becky. This book makes you really think about how we are perceiving our lives and especially other people's lives. And the courage that it truly can take sometimes to step out of our comfort zones so better things may grow. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and will definitely recommend it to others!

The 25-30 year old "quarter life crisis" story done here is funny, messy and cringeworthy to witness. So, just like real life for many of us. The main character is a disaster in her career and interpersonal relationships. She blows up her life after a shoddy tarot card reading she slightly misinterpreted and the rest of the book is the fall out of that. Although, as with many of the hard life lessons we learn in our 20's going into our 30's, it helps her build character and get her life on track. This is a great book for fans of Dolly Alderton books looking for similar vibes, and overall was a quick entertaining read.

Thanks to NetGalley and William Morrow for the advanced e-reader copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book was relatable in the sense that I too want to write devastating letters to my loved ones then fuck off the Bali.

Becky was a very frustrating character that blamed everyone for herself not growing at all. She idolized her ex who was also fairly successful and moving on with life but somehow she had her blinders on for him. It had a good ending for Becky in the end.

Overall an easy read with a fun plot idea but the characters weren’t my favorite.

I wanted to like this book more than I did. I never warmed up to Becky and the side characters weren't doing it for me either. Some parts were funny but I found myself skimming to get through it.
