This book vaguely reminded me of the movie P.S. I Love You, however I think the book came before that movie. But all aside, I thought this was a great book. She is a wonderful writer, and while reading I felt as though I was there with Ginny to every place she went. I escaped overseas with her, all the while in the comfort of my pajamas. LOL. This book presents a good message although, life is not to be spent wasted. You should make the most of it, and never take it too seriously. You should do spontanous and crazy things. I would mostly recommend this is ecleptic persons and teenagers.
