    I just read PS I Love You....it's not a bad little story, and I'm sure it will be a good movie, but I did start to wonder if she got published because of who she is. Her writing really is very basic in it, and a lot of the situations are kind of corny. Or is it just me?

    Now I'm reading "If you Could See Me Now", and it's way, way better. It's not taxing, or Pullitzer standard, but it's original and very enjoyable.

    yeah, i agree with you! (and I thought it was just me who found the situations in it 'babyish' !) for example, the scene where the heroine and her friends dress up as princesses or something to get entrance to a nightclub, I was like wtf??!! How is that funny or even amusing. Maybe it would be if another writer wrote about the situation. I like the story but its written poorly.

    Considering how many great books never get published, it really is a wonder how this one did. As you've both said, it wasn't a bad story, (although there was a very similar story in either the Twilight Zone, or Outer Limits, but that had a more sinister ending :D ).

    It could've been a lot better but at least now I know to avoid the movie like the plague.

    No, the movie is a must see! It has Gerard Butler in it. :) I'm shallow, I know....
