Review:

This book was very unique. I have read other books by this author and enjoyed them. P.S. I Love You is one of my all time favorite movies. Imagine my disappointment when I found out as I continued reading the story, that it was completely written via a collection of letters, emails and instant messages.

I was really hoping for more story, more interaction between the characters. The letters/emails did a good job portraying everything these families went through as they grew up. I liked that the second generation continued on with the writing as well, adding another aspect to the book.

Overall, this was a charming book. It may not have been written in a style I was comfortable with, but was cute non-the-less. If you enjoy Cecelia Ahern, this might be your next read. There is also a movie based on this novel, but I have yet to see it. The book was good enough that I plan to watch this one on the big screen! This book gets four glittery stars!
