P.S. You’re the Worst


'Heartfelt, poignant, properly gripping and laugh-out-loud funny' TOM ELLEN 'Sharp and witty' SUN 'A modern Bridget Jones' READER REVIEW 'Hilarious, chaotic, and full of heart' READER REVIEW 🃏🃏🃏 When you’ve hit rock bottom, there’s only one way to go. Becky’s not exactly living her best life. Her mum is throwing her a twenty-ninth birthday party. She’s still holding a torch for her ex, Max, who’s moving in with his girlfriend. Her coupled-up best friends Dami and Angie can only talk about careers or Dami’s upcoming wedding. When a younger, less experienced colleague is promoted over Becky, things surely can’t sink lower. Until a tarot reading throws up the Death card and Becky leaps to the conclusion that the clock is ticking for her. There’s only one thing to do: book a ticket to Bali to live it up in the time she has left. But not before she’s drunkenly posted letters to her loved ones – less of a goodbye, more a chance to spill some ‘home truths’. But the next day Becky’s trip to Bali is off, and she realises perhaps she was a little overzealous in predicting her imminent demise. She thought her life couldn’t get any worse, but now Becky’s going to have to face everyone who knows just what she thinks of them … 🃏🃏🃏 Readers love P.S. You're The Worst: 'I loved this!
