I came to a bit of a realisation while listening to the third instalment of P.S. It's Always Been You I realised I shouldn't judge someone else's love story as wrong. Obviously, I know this already, but it's easy, as a reader/listener, to be judge and jury when the characters are not doing what you want them to do. I wanted these characters to put love in front of their careers. I wanted him to put Presley first. I wanted Presley to accept nothing but the best from Hunter.
With Presley and Hunter, I struggled to understand their dynamics. She was so understanding when it came to his adventurous spirit. Presley would not want him to give up his career and his travels. Now, if I was in her position, I'd be telling him to grow up and stop being so self-centred. Now with him, I struggled with his ability to walk away, jump out of planes risking his life and know that his loved one would be worried about him. Again, I'd be all...how could you leave me????
But, it obviously works for other people.
I guess what I'm trying to say in a very long-winded way, is that while this story was not my love story, it would probably be perfect for other readers. I sometimes forget that there are people in the world who don't want their loves to be in each other's pockets. So, maybe P.S. It's Always Been You could be perfect for you.
From a listening perspective...Andi Arndt does a fabulous job as per usual, but unfortunately, Scott Eastwood's narrating wasn't my favourite.
I liked this story, but I have to admit that it wasn't perfect for me.
