PS I Love You by Cecelia Ahern is a good one, I'm pretty sure it's Epistolary. The Georgia Nicholson series by Louise Rennison. And Holly's Inbox (both books) by Holly Denton (may have gotten the name wrong) are both great!

Good luck, and you're welcome. You could also try the book that I put on my list. I can't remember what it is off the top of my head though. :)
The Georgia Nicholson series is YA, but they're sooo funny. The first book is called Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging, or something like that. Nickelodeon made a movie out of it and I thought it was really cute.

Goodnight Tweetheart by Theresa Medeiros is another one.
I didn't realize Nickelodeon had made a movie out of the Angus book. Totally going to have to track that down!

Yeah, I can't remember who found the link to it online, but I was able to watch it online. And I liked it so much that I found it on Amazon or something like that. It's called Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging.
That's right, because the book is Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging! Sorry Leeba! I had it wrong!
