I know this is a younger kidish book but I was just going through many of my old books that I have read and I found this one that I enjoyed last year. P.S. I Really Like You is about your average teenage girl named Jenny who thinks her life is totally miserable, and that she will never be best friends with her old BFF Addie Wilson who is now part of "The Pops" (as in Popular.) One day at school Jenny finds a not at her locker that is from a special boy and has a commpliment about Jenny and at the end of the message it says P.S. I really like you. Jenny has no clue who has written this note to her and is determind to find out. Who has a crush on Jenny...;)

OK, I really liked this book.Jenny has definitely changed from the beginning of the series to this point. She brought her friends together after a big fight. The Pops are not the most pleasant things to be around. Addie is so conceited an self-centered. It is either her way or the highway. There was a big fight about who lost the championship and Addie's plan wasn't working the way she planned, so she only wanted Jenny to fix her friends' dispute so that her business would work. I really liked Jenny as a character. It is a good book, but I suggest that read the other books that came before it.

I think that this book is a good book about what happens to you during middle school life, it tells how to solve problems, tell or keep secrets and work together and solve problems together. In this book there is a girl who starts getting getting love letters from a secret admirer and she want to figure it out in the end it turns out that the secret admirer are the pops who are a supper mean group of kids, then the girl has to deal with it and that is the lesson.

Lessons Learned From P.S. I Really Like You

1. No one likes anonymous love letters. Ever.

2. Fighting friends are the worse, and you should not take a side.

3. Mean girls will always try to mess with you. Rise above.

4. Every problem can actually be solved with some candy.

5. Middle school is better when you have convenient online quizzes to distract you.

Jenny got a letter from the boy and the one of pop saw that letter and they teasing Jenny by the letter. So Jenny try to find the person who wrote this letter and it's really interesting and great story. When I was in EAP Beginner, this book helps me to improve my English so if you are a EAP student, you can try this book.

A fun quick read. I think I would have definitely enjoyed it more when I was in 4th or 5th grade. It was a great reminder to what life was like back then and all the "drama" of those middle school years.
