  <default_description>This book is the much anticipated sequel to the New York Times bestselling book, Stargirl and centers around &quot;the world's longest letter&quot; in diary form. It picks up where the previous novel left off after Stargirl left Mica High and describes her bittersweet memories in the town of Mica, Arizona along with the involvements of new people in her life.

In Love, Stargirl, we hear the voice of Stargirl as she reflects on time, life, Leo, and - of course - love

    <body><![CDATA[I put off reading this for the first few months that I knew it was out there.  I always get nervous that the sequel won't live up to the original.  But, alas, I was wrong.  This book is just, if not, as endearing as Stargirl.  Here, you get to see Stargirl inside out.  Instead of just being a prairi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/8180284">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Love, Stargirl was every bit as good as Stargirl. It picks up after she moves away from Arizona, and is told in the form of a very long letter to Leo. We get to know much more about her, and she is every bit as unusual and unconventional as her name.<br/><br/>I love this story because its message ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/12921315">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Although I still liked this book a lot, it wasn't as good as Stargirl.  I felt like it wasn't quite the same girl as in the first, even though it was in her voice this time.

    <body><![CDATA[This was an amazing sequel of Stargirl, written in first person in the form of a letter/diary to Leo from Stargirl. <br/><br/>After Stargirl moves away, she misses Leo, and is depressed for a while(as depressed as a spunky girl like her can get). Her pebbles in her happy wagon get uncommonly low. ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/41341355">more...</a>]]></body>

Open-ended somewhat, and I wanted to know what happened next.<br/><br/>This is a sequel, I guess, a what-happens-sort-of-next and this time it's narrated by Stargirl.
