Wow! Thank you so much Rainbow. You've have given me so many good recommendations on this and other threads.

YA or any other genre is fine, Courtney.

If SF is okay, This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal el-Mohtar and Max Gladstone This Is How You Lose the Time War

You're welcome! I got bored and went a little crazy there finding titles, lol.

Do you have any interest in books where you can only read letters from one person and the other person doesn't write back?

Letters from the Inside

Any genre is acceptable

Yeah! That's fine. I didn't think that there would be too many books like that. Why write to a pen pal if their not going to write you back? I undersrand if its a fan letter like in Dear Mr. Henshaw

Or to yourself in Dear Evan Hansen

Rachel wrote: "Letters from the Inside"

Thank you, Rachel.

Yeah, I was thinking of Dear Mr. Henshaw, but also Dear Hank Williams for a one-sided pen pal relationship.

There's also P.S. I Miss You. The two girls are sisters who are separated, but one doesn't write back.

Thank you guys.

Daddy-Long-Legs and Dear Enemy are both epistolary novels that i would highly recommend

I Will Always Write Back: How One Letter Changed Two Lives is a great one. It's a true story about a girl from America who gets a pen pal from Zimbabwe, Africa as a school assignment. They become best friends.

Thank you RH!

Simone's Letters

A Pack of Liars

Lady Susan and Evelina are two very old school versions of this.

Cry Blue Murder by Kim Kane and Marion Roberts (darker than Letters from the Inside, but partially inspired by it, in my opinion).
Sorcery and Cecilia, by Caroline Stevermer and Patricia Wrede (regency romantic comedy with magic).

Oh, and Feeling Sorry For Celia by Jaclyn Moriarty. it comes before The Year of Secret Assignments.

Dear Dylan

This book always makes me laugh. Two older ladies (they're widows and I think they both have grown up children) meet at a wedding and start writing to each other about the ups and downs of their lives, which are quite eventful as they both get up to various escapades.
Ladies of Letters, New and Old

Kasey & Ivy is epistolary I think

Dancing in the Storm

If you are up for a non-fiction 84, Charing Cross Road is the true story of Helene Hanff and Frank Doel. He was a London bookseller and she sent him her book "wish list". From that, a 20-year correspondence started between them based around the books they loved.

+1 - Loved that book. Truly bibliophiles.

Very Sincerely Yours

Dear Sylvia

Dear Cinderella, which is a picture book where Cinderella and Snow White are pen pals.
