Book #49: P.S. I Like You by Kasie West

Another super-quick Kasie West read. I liked this one even better than The Fill-In Boyfriend which I read over the weekend, because Lily, the heroine was so much more interesting. She is a total hipster with a big family and is really shy and awkward. One day she writes some lyrics on the desk in her chemistry class, and the next day she sees that someone else has written back on the desk to her. She begins a conversation through letters to this mysterious person, first about music they like, and then about more personal family issues--while keeping it totally anonymous. The rest of the book she gets more and more interested in this person, and spends a lot of time trying to figure out who they are and once she does, what to do about it.

I liked how Lily had a big family (three siblings) and they all seemed to get along and work well together, even if they were always in each other's stuff. She liked her family, even if they bugged her sometimes. I also liked how the mysterious love interest turned out to be her arch-enemy (not totally surprising), but it was cute how they both overcame their antipathy towards each other through their letters. The romance was really cute in this one, and I really liked it. This book went really fast too, but it was a really cute, fun read.
