P.S. Longer Letter Later

Yesterday I started reading a book called "P.S. Longer Letter Later". It is a novel that is based on letters. The people in the letters are Paula Danziger and Ann M. Martin. I am going to give a summary about the whole book because I was able to finish it yesterday. Before I get started I want to say that during this post I won't be talking about anything else except for the book because yesterday all I did was stay home and watch TV with my sister after my homework. The movie we watched on the TV was called "Wolves". It is about how a kid finds out that he comes from a long line of werewolves and must protect the people he loves with his "werewolf" form. However I don't want to get too far from the main reason I'm writing so lets start.

P.S. Longer Letter Later is book about two friends who were separated from one another because one of the parents wanted to move to a new place. That means that the only way they can communicate is through letters. The names of the two kids are Elizabeth and TaraStarr. While they are separated Elizabeth's family starts doing bad while TaraStarr's family is getting better. The girls write to each other about stuff they won't even tell their parents and are the best of friends. The show each other that they can depend on one another. It really is something worth reading. Now that they are older they combine their stories and letters to turn it into a book.

Well here goes nothing, the book starts off with Elizabeth writing a letter asking TaraStarr why she left. She seems to get all mad, but then says she's kidding. Its the beginning of seventh grade for both of these girls and they want to know all about how they each are doing.  After that Elizabeth just starts gossiping about stuff around the school she's in (and the one TaraStarr used to go to) like how one of the kids puked in the water fountain and how one of the teachers grew a mustache and it looks nice. Besides that she ends the letter saying that her sister (Emma) started PreSchool and hated it because she said she learned everything on "Sesame Street".

After this the whole story starts off in a good note and then goes to a bad note. Then it goes back to a good one later on, typical order of events of a book. After this letter TaraStarr's parents start to get better from their financial interests and Elizabeth's parents's financial interest starts to get a lot worse. Mostly because her father lost his jobbed all he has during this time is a bit of money for being fired. TaraStarr then starts talking about her school dramas while Elizabeth mostly talks about how bad things are going for her family. Her father starts to a bit drunk and seemingly sad. The same thing goes for her mother, except without the drunk part.

Then TaraStarr starts wishing Elizabeth the best of luck. She only says this because Elizabeth mentioned that during Christmas her father bought her a diamond necklace and her mother emerald jewelry. After wondering how he had the money to afford this she realized that he took a large sum of money from the bank to pay for all of this, way more than he could pay back. Apparently the father wants everyone to think that his family is doing well so with the little money they have he uses it to make them look happy and good. The good part is that later on Elizabeth's family sells their house and some of the stuff in it. Then with the money they buy an apartment and pay off the stuff they owe to the banks and companies. 

With this ending everyone is happy. Elizabeth helps start a poetry club in her school because it is her passion and TaraStarr performs in a play and does really well. Right before the book ends it talks about how TaraStarr's family has been doing so good that they can afford for Elizabeth to come and visit them. This makes the both of them really happy. Especially since Elizabeth lives in Florida and that is however near TaraStarr. The tow of them can't wait to meet each other and talk about everything between them. This really shows that when you have someone by your side that you can trust the both of you will always have each other's back.

There seems to be lots of different versions of this, but here is the one that I read. I remember that in the book one of the two girls said the title when writing their letter.
