Snail Mail, No More

I think this is a very cute book 2. But it's not just fluff. These girls tackle some tough issues - having a parent that drinks too much, teenage drinking, first kisses, not telling parents everything and first siblings. I like the way the girls talk through email and work through it.

Do you have a best friend who never leaves your side? Would you do anything for each other? This is the relationship that Elizabeth and Tara have. Will everything suddenly change when one of them move away? Will they still be BFFS?

Elizabeth and Tara are best friends, and do everything together. When Tara moves away, Elizabeth's life will never be the same. When the pair figure out that sending letters through the mail takes too long, and that the messages they were receiving weren’t current. Elizabeth comes up with the idea to e-mail, but Tara doesn’t have a computer. When Tara finally gets one of her neighbors’ old computers, everything changes. Now they are more involved in the others life. Unfortunately, Elizabeth's father is show more a drunk, and has not seen Elizabeth, her sister or her mother in months. When a tragic accident occurs, Tara is immediately there to comfort her.

Snail Mail no more is a story of friendship, which everyone can relate to. This book had rich vocabulary, and real-life situations. Unfortunately, I found the format odd. Since the whole story was told through the girl’s letters, it was confusing. It was hard to follow, and left me questioning the authors' choice. This format threw off my reading, and was a bit annoying.

Even though the format was confusing, I still rated it 3.5 stars, for its strong message, “If you have a great friend, they will always come back, and still be involved in your life." I would recommend this book to any age, but mostly for girls. This was a good quick read, but not a reliable book. show less

This book is a Sequel to P.S Longer Letter Later. That book was a great book, and Snail Mail No More is also a great book. Snail Mail No More is a funny and enjoyable book. Elizabeth and Tara Star are very good friends, but they are totally different people. They dont live neer each other, so they talk through emails. Will the e-mail be enough to keep their friendship alive?

Two authors, two characters (one each) (duh), writing back and forth but this time they're not sending letters, they're E-MAILING! Omg how high-tech! Eh, it was kind of gimmicky but basically just any other penpal type of book when you get down to things. And not really one of the best.

I loved this book when I was younger, in middle school maybe. I read it a zillion times and just now I realized its a sequel... how did I never know that?

This book is a great continuation to P.S Longer Letter Later. The reader gets to continue on the story of the friendship between two young girls. There are struggles and different situations that come up. This next novel takes place via email rather than mail.
