Do You like book P. S. I Love You (1981)?
I remember reading this book back when I was still in high school. This is the book that launched Sweet Dreams booming success and enabled Sweet Dreams to capture a larger market share (in the Philippines at that time) compared to Mills and Boons.If my memory serves me right the book is all about a young girl who went to stay in Palm Springs over the summer and fell in love with Paul Strobe (?). The PS I love you is a sticker that she got which stands for Palm Springs I Love you but the guy gave it a different meaning for her.

It was summer vacation when I was in senior high school that I read this book. Teary- eyed on this one when Paul Strobe passed away, he is a boy next door type of guy, a rich kid but their richness could not cure his illness. When they went to Palm Spring, a certain tourist spot I think, Paul gave her a sticker PS I Love You, but this sticker as well gave Mariah a new meaning, it wasn't Palm Spring rather Paul Strobe I love you.As far as I remember, around 20 times that I have read this book. My brother's girlfriend gave this pocket book to me and I'm keeping it until now.

This book is one of the first romance novels I ever read. I found it at my local library when I was 10 years old which started my love for all things romance. As a 10 year old girl, this book moved me and I remember crying a lot for the characters. I decided to order a used copy from Amazon because I was curious to see how I'd feel about it as an adult.Well, I finished it quickly and it was quite nostalgic to read it. The writing is simple and not as earth shattering as I remembered it as a 10 year old. But I did feel a bit emotional at the end just as I did back when I first read it. I do love how this is an innocent, sweet first love and coming of age story about an awkward 16 year old who is unsure about certain aspects of life. By the end, circumstances lead her to learn, develop and grow as a character. I would recommend this to young preteens if they can handle some of the outdated 80s references.
