479. Sweet Dreams Recap: PS I Love You by Barbara Conklin

It’s time! It’s time! This is the first of the Sweet Dreams Romance Recap Project, wherein I am recapping the first twenty Sweet Dreams YA romances, starting with Sweet Dreams #1,  P.S. I Love You by Barbara Conklin.

This book is a lot. It’s angsty and tragic, but there are some moments I remember so very clearly, and I probably read this more than 30 years ago. This was definitely one of my gateway books. What about you?

    So originally I thought I had read this one but I did not remember that ending. But I giggled all the way through the recap until the end. And then sadness. I don’t remember any of the other SD books I read not actually having the HFN.

  2. Erica says:

    I loved this book when I was a teen! It was the first contemporary (read: not historical) book I’d read with an ending like that.

  3. Kareni says:

    I enjoyed the recap, Sarah. I was in college in 1981 so knew of the Sweet Dreams books but never read them. I read books by Rosemary Rogers and Kathleen Woodiwiss but didn’t know the other two authors mentioned with them. Tell Adam thanks for the joke.

    I read it 40 years ago.

  5. Adeliza says:

    This reminds me of Saturdays spent begging my mom to take me to the mall to search Waldenbooks or BDalton for new books (which I would buy with money filched from Mom’s purse since the last trip – like she didn’t know where the money came from haha.)
