P.S. I Like You

This is maybe the cutest Kasie West book yet.

When I first read the synopsis, I wasn't sure how interesting or fun the letter writing thing would be if the characters weren't around each other. But the letters provided dimension and a different perspective on the characters.

Then when I started reading it, I had a little bit of a hard time getting into it. Like the first 50 pages or less. I think because the narration is a bit too simplistic, a series of short sentences, cohesive observations broken down into individual sentences. But without noticing I became nicely immersed in the story.

And even though I knew what was going on pretty much from the start, Kasie surprised me with how it played out. It was fun and exciting and there was one scene that I really wanted to go one direction and then it went another and while I was disappointed, the aftermath of that new direction was exactly what the story needed and led to some very nice scenes.

The characters are fun, and not just the main ones. There's a nice balance of surrounding characters that support the story well. And when a character says that someone is adorable, they've actually done and said things that make them believably adorable. It's a little Girl Meets World in that the awkward moments endear you to the characters instead of being off-putting.

Mostly, the whole thing is just super cute. The letters and the characters and how it all ends up. Super cute.
