Decent Sequel

This is the second book about Tara-Starr and Elizabeth--best friends from when they were little. In the last book, Tara-Starr had just moved and she and Elizabeth were corresponding through the mail. Tara-Starr supported Elizabeth through Elizabeth's father's drinking and loss of his job and then his abandonment of his family. Elizabeth supported Tara-Starr when her irresponsible parents got responsible and decided to have a baby.

At the start of this book, the two girls are getting ready for eighth grade. This year they are also getting e-mail! It seemed that the lives of Tara-Starr and Elizabeth had finally calmed down. But then through their e-mails we learn that Tara-Starr is still resentful of her coming sibling and Elizabeth is still having trouble accepting her father's problems. Both are having triumphs and tribulations at school with friends and with boys. Can their long-distance friendship survive another year?

I liked the unpredictability of the story. It seemed realistic instead of fictional. I liked that everything didn't work out into a happy ending, and I liked the ways Elizabeth's and Tara-Starr's families related, and how the girls interacted with their friends. However, some of the ways the letters back and forth were worded seemed too adult for people this age. The writing wasn't as authentic as it could have been.

Snail Mail No More

I didn't understand how much people miss when they move, until this book. Tara Starr and Elizabeth are two totally different girls dealing with a lot. From school problems, to friends and family they go through a lot, and without your best friend a walk away it can be hard. After a tough move the two friends have to keep up with each others good, bad and sad news by the computer.
Elizabeth lives with her mom and brother. There dad left them one day with no reason except that he no longer wanted to stay. Throughout the story she suffers the effects of having no dad. She's a plain, ordinary school girl working her was through. Elizabeth has a small group of friends, and of course a guy who she likes.
Tara on the other hand is a wild and crazy kid who makes friends easily. She lives in a small apartment with her mom. Although money can be an issue, she always finds some way to talk to Elizabeth, weather on the computer or phone.
I related this book to my life, because I have moved a lot and have had the trouble of making new friends. I am mostly like Tara because she is an outgoing person. I live with both parents unlike Tara who only has a pregnant mother, but most of the time I feel I only have one. She suffers a lot of pressure from her friends just I like do. I have learned, just like Tara that each time you move your personality moves with you. According to Elizabeth, Tara has changed after she moves.
It's hard having to type out your life update in one email, but Tara and Elizabeth are able to hold their friendship very well considering the things they go through.

snail mail no more

The book is about friends and family e-mailing each other. There are two girls, Tara and Elizabeth. They e-mail each other about what's going on thier life. The part I liked most in the book was when Elizabeth and Tara e-mailed each other because e-mailing someone is fun.I like the part when Elizabeth wants to go visit Tara and her family. Page #4 is my favorite because Elizabeth's mom says that July is a good time for Elizabeth to go to visit Tara. Tara wants to make a party for Elizabeth and have fun with her family. The book was ....so....so fun and a cool book. I don't have any questions about it. I recommend this book because is cool and fun. Some pages are sad, but I liked it so much anyway.

Elizabeth and Tara*Starr are nothing alike. But despite their differences and the distance that separates them, they still communicate regularly, now via email. Will they be able to help each other through the difficulties that face them?a new sibling and an alcoholic father? Or will their differences finally cause them to drift apart?
