In this effervescent millennial coming—of—age novel, a woman accidentally upends her entire life after a disconcerting tarot reading
Everyone knows the death card in a tarot reading isn’t a literal death sentence. Well, everyone except Becky.
Becky is not doing well. Her dreaded thirtieth birthday is looming, and she can’t help thinking she’s falling behind in life. Her (smug) friends are all planning weddings, buying houses, or starting their own businesses, but not Becky. She still lives with her mom, hates her job, doesn’t speak to her father, and—despite numerous dates—hasn’t moved on from her ex—boyfriend. Things can’t get much worse.
Becky doesn’t believe in the arcane, but armed with a gift card and a desperate need for guidance, she visits a tarot reader… who tells her she’s going to die. Convinced she’s a goner and panicked about having done nothing with her life, Becky finally takes action. She writes a series of letters to the people she loves unloading all the things she’s been holding back. And she waits.
But in the morning, she’s not dead. And worse, the mail is already reaching people’s doorsteps. Will the letters be the wake—up call Becky needs, or just the next step in a never—ending downward spiral?
With sparkling wit and compassionate insight, Chloe Seager chronicles the ups and downs of figuring out how you want to show up in life—for yourself and for the people you love.
For Becky’s 29th birthday, a tarot card reading leads to a series of life-changing decisions.
Author Chloe Seager gives Becky an opportunity to share her true feelings about those around her in P.S. You’re the Worst. Rather than keeping those feelings to herself, Becky impulsively sends them in the form of six letters.
The fallout is sudden and explosive. As Becky faces her friends, a former boss, a man who holds her heart, and her mother, she wrestles with the aftermath.
Becky’s character oozes dysfunction. She’s jealous of those around her, yet can’t seem to get the momentum to pursue her own interests. An acerbic wit serves as a solid foil amid the messiness of her life.
P.S. You’re the Worst tracks a woman’s journey of self-discovery as she works to repair damaged relationships.
Chloe Seager is a director and literary agent at Madeleine Milburn Agency. She lives in London and in her spare time she likes listening to noughties emo music, watching reality TV and shouting at Spurs games. Her debut adult novel Open Minded centers on relationships in all their diverse and messy glory. P.S. You’re The Worst is her second novel and focuses on the chaotic, confusing process of becoming an adult and figuring out what you want from life.
