Purchase options and add-ons

A heartbreaking―yet ultimately uplifting―epistolary novel about family, religion, and having the courage to be yourself.

"P.S. I Miss You is so moving! Evie's quiet strength and fierce determination are an inspiration. " ―Ann M. Martin, author of Rain Reign and the Baby-Sitters Club

"Jen Petro-Roy has created a character with the potential to be as iconic as Judy Blume's Margaret." ―Erin Dionne, author of Notes from an Accidental Band Geek

Evie is heartbroken when her strict Catholic parents send her pregnant sister, Cilla, away to stay with a distant great-aunt. All Evie wants is for her older sister to come back. Forbidden from speaking to Cilla, Evie secretly sends her letters.

Evie writes about her family, torn apart and hurting. She writes about her life, empty without Cilla. And she writes about the new girl in school, June, who becomes her friend, and then maybe more than a friend.

Evie could really use some advice from Cilla. But Cilla isn’t writing back, and it’s time for Evie to take matters into her own hands.

P.S. I Miss You by Jen Petro-Roy is a heartfelt middle grade novel dealing with faith, identity, and finding your way in difficult times.

“A touching story of sisterly devotion and self-discovery. Readers will cheer on Jen Petro-Roy’s sweet, strong protagonist as she overcomes challenging family circumstances to embrace her own identity.” ― Barbara Dee, author of Star-Crossed

"A heartbreaking but empowering story that’s impossible to forget… Readers will love Evie’s smart, funny voice and will recognize themselves in her worries, her questions, and her hopes." ―Kate Messner, author of The Seventh Wish

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully Done

It was sad but worth the read. It made me think about my own middle school days and how hard it was having crushes etc. especially being bi. I love how raw the story is and how it also tackles the topic of religion and that constant struggle with family members over sexuality and sin. I also love how it ends happily in the end for Evie.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Really Wonderful Book About Important Issues
Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2018
Verified Purchase
This is such a multi-layered, moving, wonderful book. It really breaks my heart that such a good novel that addresses sensitive issues so deftly couldn’t garner enough interest for a book tour precisely because of those issues, and the fear the attention would bring. Teenage pregnancy, religion, same-sex relationships—all of these things are so relevant today. I truly think young adults, high school, and middle school students would be interested in this book. The characters are real—Evie is portrayed so well, as well as her parents, June, and the rest of her friends. I think it’s really important that her parents play such a big role—it’s easy to forget Evie is only 10 at the beginning. I think the epistolary style works really well here. Life is full of unanswered questions and what-if’s. Every library should have a copy of this book, if not more. It should be on Summer Reading Lists. There’s so much about learning to think differently from what you’re used to, that just because it’s the way things have always been done doesn’t necessarily mean it’s right or that it even makes sense. Very highly recommended.

Absolutely amazing debut novel. Evie is so real and true to life, you climb right inside her skin as you read. The writing is accessible to tweens but doesn’t feel patronizing to adults, perhaps because it’s written from the point of view of a twelve year old girl. Make time to read it in one sitting if you can because if you try to put it down you will be unable to think of anything else till you back to it.

4.0 out of 5 stars P.S. Thank you Jen Petro-Roy!
Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2018

I wished this book existed back when I was in 7th grade. Our protagonist questions society's imposed morals on what's "acceptable", is it okay to like others of the same sex, parenting decisions, and religion! Wow, what a heavy load. I always compare quality middle grade fiction to Pixar movies. Kids see them one way where adults interpret them a little different and usually enjoy them immensely on a completely different level. This book does just that.

Why only 4 stars?

The author uses letter writing as a means of telling the story and it's a bit far fetched for the actual length of the novel. Also, the character writing these letters is supposed to be a 7th grader. Do 7th graders actually write this good nowadays? That being said I really did enjoy this book a lot. Also, the author wrote an interesting essay about it that I also think is worth checking out.

5.0 out of 5 stars An incredibly moving story!
Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2018

I sat down to begin this book, and ended up not moving for three hours, until I had finished it. It is a powerful and moving story of a 13 year old grappling with big questions about faith, family, morality, friendship, and budding romances. I was completely drawn in! Evie's voice is so real. As I read, I found myself recalling my own early adolescence in the same emotional, visceral way that I feel when I reread my old diaries. I also loved that while it does deal with some heartbreaking events, it is not a depressing book: there is humor and hope woven throughout. An excellent read for tweens, teens, and adults alike!

5.0 out of 5 stars I want to send this to my 12-year-old self
Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2018
Verified Purchase
This book is such a gift. Evie is one of the most complicated, relatable characters ever to grace the pages of a book for young people. Her earnestness, her love for her family, and the way she takes her world so seriously reminded me a lot of my younger self. In as a queer-identified former Catholic, I wish I could send this book back in time and give it to my 12–year-old self. Since I can’t do that, I’ll be giving a copy to every young person (and some adults!) I know.

2.0 out of 5 stars So promising, but ultimately so disappointing
Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2018
Verified Purchase
I was so ready to champion this book. A story of a girl with a crush on a girl who grapples with big questions of religion and the teen pregnancy of her sister? Count me in! And at first, Petro-Roy delivers. Evie's voice is fantastic, the relationship with June is adorable and authentic, and the religious and morality questions break necessary new ground.

[SPOILER] But the tragic event in the last fifth of the book is so devastating that all of the promise and charm of the first 4/5 is lost. Petro-Roy tries to regain the hope in the last few chapters, but it's unrecoverable. Because of this tragedy that feels out of place -- there for shock and drama, not part of a true character or plot arc-- the book is no longer about a positive queer relationship or a girl learning about life and herself, it's just another sad book about grief and loss.

And... though I don't think this was the author's intention, it reads as homophobic and slut-shaming. Did this tragedy happen because Evie is gay and her sister had sex as a teen? Why can't we have positive gay stories with happy endings? Why can't we have stories where pregnant teens are able to thrive? Why does there always have to be a tragedy to "give it meaning"?

This book had so much possibility, but I won't be recommending it to kids because not only was I disappointed by the shock-value ending, but I don't want them to equate queerness or teen pregnancy with tragedy. Such a missed opportunity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Handles complex themes with incredible skill
Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2018
Verified Purchase
This was an excellent book, relatable for adults and I suspect for the intended middle-grade audience as well. I certainly would've loved to have it when I was in seventh grade! I enjoyed the format and found the main character's voice authentic for her age while remaining compelling to older readers. I was also caught completely off-guard by the ending -- in a good way.

Evie's story is an emotional journey that runs the gamut from laughter to tears and back. If I knew any kids in the middle-grade age range, I'd buy them copies of this book; in the meantime, I'll settle for recommending it to all my adult friends. Easily 5/5 stars!

This was stunning. It tackled difficult topics in an extremely sensitive way and I am in awe. It filled my heart with so much joy, broke it then the broken pieces were glued back together through Evie’s letters and strength. I shed a few tears along the way too, and then again at the beautiful ending.
