This book is a powerhouse of feelings. It left me in stitches and tears and is a story I won’t soon forget.

And I don’t want to.

P.S. I Hate You is the story of Maddie and Dominic. When Maddie’s beloved older brother, Josh, dies at a young age, he leaves Dom in charge of executing his will. Hurt by the perceived slight of being overlooked for his best friend, Maddie demands her “inheritance.” She never anticipated a cross-country trip with Dom, the one person she wanted to forget all about.

Maddie and Dom have a complicated back story that slowly comes into focus chapter after chapter. He is the boy she always loved, the one she shared so much with, and the one who left her and broke her heart. She is the sharp and captivating girl who got away, the one who Dom is willing to do just about anything to get back into his arms.

I loved Maddie’s humor and sarcasm. Her personality jumped off the page and endeared her to me immediately. Her pain, grief, and sadness are equally palpable and hit me hard. I saw a lot of myself in many aspects of Maddie’s character.

One of the best books I’ve read all year, P.S. I Hate You, is funny, smart, heartfelt, romantic, and well-written. It is an excellent story, and I will definitely be rereading it soon.
