P.S. I Miss You Audiobook by Jen Petro-Roy

On a quiet Sunday morning, I found myself nestled in the cozy nook of my sunlit garden, a steaming cup of herbal tea in hand and my headphones snugly in place. The gentle rustle of leaves and the distant chirping of birds created the perfect backdrop for diving into “P.S. I Miss You” audiobook by Jen Petro-Roy. As someone who cherishes stories that explore family dynamics, identity, and self-discovery, this audiobook felt like it was written just for me.

The story revolves around Evie, a young girl grappling with the absence of her older sister, Cilla, who was sent away to a strict boarding school after becoming pregnant. Evie’s confusion and heartbreak are palpable as she tries to make sense of her parents’ harsh decision and her sister’s silence. What struck me most was how relatable Evie’s emotions felt – her longing for connection, her struggle with faith, and her growing feelings for the new girl in her class. These themes resonated deeply with me, reminding me of my own teenage years when everything felt so intense and uncertain.

Madeleine Lambert’s narration brought Evie’s voice to life with such authenticity and warmth. Her tone captured Evie’s innocence, frustration, and vulnerability perfectly, making it easy to empathize with her journey. There were moments when I found myself pausing the audiobook just to reflect on Evie’s internal conflicts – her desire to stay true to herself while fearing rejection from her family and community.

One scene that particularly moved me was when Evie finally confronts her parents about their decision to send Cilla away. The raw emotion in Lambert’s voice mirrored my own feelings of anger and sadness at the injustice of it all. It made me think about how often we judge others without understanding their struggles or considering their pain.

By the end of the audiobook, I felt a mix of emotions – hope for Evie’s future, sadness for what she had lost, and admiration for her courage to question everything she had been taught. “P.S. I Miss You” is more than just a coming-of-age story; it’s a poignant exploration of love, faith, and the complexities of family relationships.

If you enjoy heartfelt narratives that challenge societal norms and celebrate individuality, this audiobook is a must-listen. It left me reflecting on my own beliefs and relationships long after the final chapter ended.
