Description

In this sisterly PS, I Love You, an introverted young woman is saddled with fulfilling her late sisters final wish and completing her bucket list while millions of people follow along online.

Jodie Boyd is a shy and anxious twenty-something, completely unsure of what to do with her life. Meanwhile, her older sister, Bree, is an adventurous, globe-trotting, hugely successful Instagram influencer with more than a million followers. She's the most alive person Jodie knows until Brees unfathomable, untimely death from leukaemia. The Boyds are devastated, not to mention overwhelmed with medical debt, but Bree thought of everything and soon, Jodie is shocked by a new post on her sister's Instagram feed.

The first of many Bree recorded in secret, the post foretells a jaw-dropping challenge for Jodie: to complete Bree's very public bucket list. From fly over Antarctica to perform a walk-on cameo in a Broadway musical, if Jodie does it and keeps all Brees followers a corporate sponsor will pay off the staggering medical debt. Its crazy. Its terrifying. Its impossible to refuse. So, despite her trepidation, Jodie plunges in, never imagining that in death, her sister will teach her how to live, and that the last item on the list fall in love may just prove to be the easiest.
