I have read PS I like you 2 times now and I will say that the first time I read this book, I felt soo cheated. If I remember correctly (Since the first time I read this was back in 2016) I had just finished reading Faking Normal(careful with this). Which P.S. I like you is a lot like it in the fact that they start writing lyrics on a desk and they come together through music and they did not know the identity of the other person and they try to set up a way to either finally meet up or find out which doesn’t turn out the way they want it at first. After re-reading P.S. I Like You, I did end up loving the book sooo much more the 2nd time around. The story is cute, I do love the plot and the way Kasie goes about it, (I just L O V E Faking Normal, so it initially felt like a knock off.) But P.S I like you, gives you a look into friendships and how even if you get into an argument with your best friend and have resentment towards them, you can overcome it and continue with your strong friendship. I honestly don’t feel like she is necessarily caught between 3 boys, I think she just finds them intriguing and is wanting for her mysterious lyric boy to known already (and not the one who it ends up being until she finally wakes up) and is trying to find them in these boys which her friend tries to push on her. I can relate to the crazy family so that was fun. I do wish we saw more of Cade or maybe him being even more apologetic of how he reacts to people, but we see his reasoning and I hope Lily helps him change his ways about this.
