Madison McKay and Jeremy Drum have been enemies since freshmen year. Jeremy pulled a prank on her during Homecoming. Now both are running against each other for class president. Then Madison receives a partner for a pen pal program at her school. He calls himself Blue. She calls herself Pinky. After a few emails, feelings start to grow between them. Who is Blue? Who will be the next class president? What's this? A new couple? All questions will be revealed on election day.

I thought that there would be a "hot jock" that every girl falls for. The hot guy and nerdy girl become pen pals. And they shock the whole school by becoming a couple. Yeah, a guy and girl go out. But I'm not saying what social status they are. You can find out for yourself. My favorite part was when Jeremy confessed his feelings to Madison and when he kissed her on election day. The part that I love is when Madison was excited to meet Blue and she starts jumping on her bed singing "Ain`t No Mountain High Enough". This book kept me hanging after each chapter. I was shocked when I found out who Blue was. Who knew?

This was the first Love Letters book I read. It's a great story about finding yourself, letting go of the past, and love. Madison McKay is an all around overachiever. She has the grades, the skills, and the beauty, but not the boyfriend. She runs for junior class president and finds out she's running against Reed Rawlings - the rich, stuck up popular boy who thinks he and Madison are a match made in heaven - and Jeremy Drum, the handsome boy who humiliated her at freshman Homecoming and scarred her for life. The only way Maddy can get through is with her two best friends Piper and Alex - oh, and Blue the boy she's been e-mailing for her Heart 2 Heart pen pal program. She can tell him anything under the s/n Pinky - her goals, hopes, dreams, pet peeves, the pressure she's under - and he'll understand. As the end of her junior year counts down she'll find out the election winner, the loser and reveal the secret identity of her soulmate Blue.

Madison wants to run for school president. What dosent know is that Jeremy Drum, her archenimy, is also going to run. She hates him becuase her freshman year she ran for homecoming queen and she thought she won and he pushed her onto the feild to take her prize and she didnt really win, so she chased the float through the football feild for nothing and she was hulimated. But this year her school has a new pre\ogram, its called "heart to heart program" you get an email adress of another student and you coorespond with them withough knowing their name. Madison gets paired with a boy that calls himself blue. Eventually they start to like each other and decide to meet at the space needle, still they dont know the identy of each other. Madison figures out that its jeremy and is confused about how someone that was so cruel to her could be so sweet....this book is super good!! this is something that can happen in every day life and likley does to some people...it shows that lack of communication isnt all that great and that you should talk out your problems before you just assume....i really liked this book!!

This book was very sweet, modern, and fun. It is about a girl named Madison who is running for school president. One problem: her arch enemy is the person running against her. Where does she find her comfort? In the funny and charming Blue, her partner in the "computer pal" program at school. She is suprised to find herself falling for someone she never even met. But, it is more suprising finding out who he is.
This book was full of morals, misunderstandings, and romance. It was also different from other teen romance novels I've read. Now I won't go that far and say it was original, but it was different. Most teen romance has sex in some part or another. This book shows affection and love without having to prove it through sex.
If it had to have a flaw I would have to say the ending was predictable. But, it is made up in the charm and comedy of the book. I highly recomend it!

I fell in love with this book. It was so good I read it about 2 and 1/2 hours. This book is filled with romance, mistory, competition, and miss/understanding. I am 11 and I think that other girls around my age would probbily like as much as I do.

Madison and her enemy, Jeremy, are both running for school president. They've been enemies ever since Jeremy pulled a prank on Madison in 9th grade. For school Madison joins this "pen-pal" program and is paired with an anonymous person in Evergreen High. While the school election is going on the letters between Madison and Blue get intense. Blue is the anonymous person's nick name. Madison is practically in love with Blue so they decide to meet up. The day comes and Madison finds out that Blue is her worst enemy; Jeremy. Jeremy and Madison get a chance to talk about the prank in 9th grade and Madison came to find that it was not Jeremy who pulled the prank, it was the other canidate, Reed. So on election day Jeremy and Madison teamed up together. After election time Jeremy had talked to Madison on email about meeting up again, since the first time was a mess up. Madison agreed and so at 4 o'clock Jeremy was able to meet his pen-pal. Madison and Jeremy won the election and also became the school's hottest couple.

The character in this book is named Madison McKay. Madison is in 11th grade and attends Evergreen High School. She has two best friends named Alex and Piper.

This book was good. The author held you to the book at all times. There wasn't a dull moment, something was always happening. Also this book would be great for anyone who likes to read about love and romance.

Madison and Jeremy, her enemy, are both running for school president. They have been enemies ever since Jeremy pulled a prank on Madison freshman year. For school, Madison joins this pen-pal program and is paired with a student in Evergreen High. At the same time as the school election, there are letters between Madison and "Blue" getting passionate. Blue is the student's name, who is Madison's pen pal. Madison is practically in love with Blue, from his writing since they are so much alike. As they get to know each other they decide to meet up. The day that they were going to meet, Madison finds out that her pen pal was her worst enemy, Jeremy. Madison found out that it was not really Jeremy who pulled the prank, it was actually Reed, who was another person running for president. Then on Election Day Jeremy and Madison teamed up together to get back at Reed. After election time Jeremy had talked to Madison in an e-mail about meeting up again since the first time was a mess up. Madison and Jeremy won the election and also became the school's hottest couple.
I like that they were sending letters to one another and did not know who they were talking to, but they trusted and got to know each other. "Confession: I took your advice and tied to "care less" and I actually had fun. Jeremy wrote, "I made a few changed myself, and things are really starting to turn around, thanks to you." They are starting to like each other, but if they were not pen pals it never would have happened. He would not get the chance to explain to her what happened in ninth grade. Most of all, he would never have told her that he has always loved her.
Jeremy even told her personal things about him. "I put on the song, grab my hairbrush or my brother's Mister Mike, and sing at the top of my lungs- in front of the mirror. And as long as I'm confessing, I have also stood in front of my mirror with tears streaming down my face, just to see if I cry beautifully." They are so close on the internet by talking to someone that they don't really know, but at the same time they do know them. It is like they are secret friends, at first they were doing it for school as they started talking more it was for their own enjoyment. It is like the movie "You Got Mail." They are enemies and they end up meeting online. They don't know each other. In the end they get to know each other and fall in love.
My favorite part of the book was when Madison ran to the park to find Jeremy and they were not enemies any more. "I was holding Reed's place in the drinks line because he'd left to hear the announcement. When he came back, Reed told me you'd won. He ordered me to go tell you. "She found out the truth that Jeremy did not want to embarrass her, but Reed played an awful trick on both of them. " Two hours ago he tried to talk me into teaming up with him to beat you. I say let's beat him at his own game." They became partners and understood each other. Never again enemies, but a couple.

Madison McKay, Reed Rawlings, and Jeremy Drum were all nominated for student body president. Madison and Jeremy are bitter enemies. Reed is the rich populat guy. Every student is assigned a heart-to-heart pal. Little do they know Madison and Jeremy are heart-to-heart pals. As the election heats up so do the letters between Madison and Jeremy. They arrango to meet. Jeremy would wear a blue carnation and Madison would wear a pink carnationl. In the meantime Reed is trying to get Madison to team up with him. He took her on a date even though she didnt really want to go. She finds out that Reed just wants to team up with her so he doesnt have any competition. This is a really good book.Once I started reading it I couldnt put it down.

The fiction book Perfect Strangers by Jahnna N. Malcolm was a fun book to read. If you love romantic stories like I do you probably would like this book also. When you read this book you will want to have a first perfect love too. In my opinion this book was way too predictable. You just know after reading half this book what is going to happen next.
Always perfect, Madison McKay (Pinky) has fallen in love. A class project forces her to write to a secret e-mail pal, Blue. She is running for class president against her arch-nemesis Jeremy Drum. Is the e-mail pal who she expected? Will she be angry with the person who is supposedly Blue?
Jeremy drew my attention the first time mentioned because he was so kind, cleaver, and helpful. Every time he was talked about in the story you knew something was up. This line was about him and it drew my attention... Madison peeked around the concession booth and watched Jeremy Drum, his blue carnation pinned to the lapel of his black sports coat; search the face of every young girl who came by the space needle. If reported to another person I would say that this is a book that shows that you never know who you are talking to on the Internet.
This book was very predictable but good. I would recommend this story to teens about 12.
