5.0 out of 5 stars
Two spirited girls sharing very different lives,
By A Customer
This review is from: Snail Mail, No More (Hardcover)
I loved P.S. Longer Letter Later, so I was looking forward to this book. I was not disappointed. The book is well written and riveting; the reader cares about the two girls and their families. Some very challenging (new sibling) and difficult (alcoholic father) family situations are discussed with sensitivity and skill, as are the beginnings of interest in romance. I could really hear the voices of the two protagonists as they begin to confront the issues that face all young teenagers today.

Snail Mail Does Not Fail!,
By Shari Fesko (Michigan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Snail Mail, No More (Hardcover)
I am a 30 year old and after reading this novel (in one night) I was taken right back in time to my teen years just as I was in the original book PS Longer Letter Later. A fellow younger reviewer felt some of the behavior and language of the characters especially TaraStarr did not ring true, but in my opinion that is not the case. There is always those few that go their own way and thats Tara as you see in her emails to Emily the much more conservative teen. Through these emails you see the girls discovering the pain and pleasure of growing up while trying to keep their friendship going despite the miles between them. Time and again they point out to each other how different they are but in the end despite having other "best friends" they always come back to each other. I also have to disagree with the recommended age on this book I am a Teen librarian and have PS in my Teen area where it goes out a bunch I just had the childrens area give me Snail Mail which I had not yet ordered and now do not have to. This really is a book about middle schoolers that deserves to be read by middle schoolers and anyone who has any interest in middle schoolers (especially those like myself who work with this age).

Snail Mail No More,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Snail Mail, No More (Hardcover)
The book "Snail Mail No More" is a wonderful book. The protaginists are named TaraStar and Elizabeth. They are both 13 years old and best friends but TaraStar lives in Ohio and Elizabeth lives in New Jersey.Their goal is to make their friendship last. Their barrier is that their own conflicts may get in the way between the two of them. One conflict is that Elizabeth's father left her and her family or another on is that TaraStar's mother had a baby. Their lives are changing and it's hard for them to keep a long lasting friendship.The author's style of writing is very interesting because it's all in e-mails. I really liked how the author did that because it makes the book fun to read and is not like anyother regular book. I really liked this book and I could read it as many times and it still wouldn't be boring to me. It's honest about things that happen and things that might happen to anybody. It has humor and it is also sad. I loved it and is a great book.
