I think it was David Beckham who said that hindsight is a wonderful thing. Well if you could turn back time to when you were sweet 16 what advice would you give yourself? With Love from Me to Me is a collection of letters written by some of Ireland’s best know people to their 16 year-old selves.

Contributors include Joe O'Connor, Roisin Ingle, Ray D'Arcy, Sonia O'Sullivan, Maeve Binchy, Cathy Kelly, Andrea Roche, Jason Sherlock, Nell McCafferty, Senator David Norris, Ross O'Carroll Kelly, Ardal O'Hanlon and Victoria Smurfit.
