While Lily is spacing out in Chemistry one day, she picks up her pencil and scribbles a line from one of her favorite songs on the desk. The next day, someone else has written back to her on the desk! Soon enough Lily and the mystery student are exchanging notes, and lyrics, and even sharing secrets. When Lily finds out that her anonymous pen pal is a guy, she's flustered -- and kind of feels like she's falling for him. She and her best friend set out to unravel the identity of the letter writer -- but when the truth is revealed, the guy is the LAST person Lily could have ever imagined it to be. Now that Lily knows the truth, can she untangle her feelings and gather the courage to listen to her heart.
I had this book on my e-reader for a long time before I had time to read it, and was attracted to it by the fun cover and because I have read several previous books by Kasie West. I expected more of P.S. I Like You. I got the idea of the story, but I found the story a bit messy at many points. It took Lily quite a while to find out who the letter writer was, somehow the outcome was a bit odd, I didn't expect him to be the guy who was bullying her the most! Somehow this guy is a character I didn't care much about as a reader, I got the feeling he wasn't the right match for Lily. In the end things get complicated as maybe the letters where never meant for her anyway.
Overall I thought it wasn't Kasie West strongest book. I expected the story to be a bit different and a little less messy. Not my favorite.
