Even though summer is over, it’s not too late to find a good beach book and read it. TTYL is one such book, comfortably airheaded and delightfully sincere, that provides everything a good beach book is.
Myracle writes in the manner of instant messaging, which provides her characters with frank personalities and attitudes. One thing I love about this book (series, actually. TTYL, TTFN, and L8R, G8R) is how each character is individual and real in herself. Angela (SnowAngel) is spunky, boy-crazy, and sparkly. Maddie (madmaddie) is tough, independent, and rebellious. Zoe (zoegirl) is quiet, introverted, and ambitious. These three “Winsome Threesome” are diverse enough to appeal to any range of readers.
Throughout the book, each girl gets herself into a series of scrapes. Battling boys, teachers, and the “Queen Bee,” Angela, Maddie and Zoe learn that friendship is tough, but being friendless is tougher. This sort of story makes me want to curl up with a bowl of ice cream and tell all my friends how much I love them. Be warned: Boys may not appreciate this series as much as girls will.
For added fun, read it out loud with two of your bestest buds.
I agree-this is definitely one of those books that I want to read aloud with my friends on a get-together or sleepover!
I’ve been thinking about how there has been a lot of controversy on this book because of the fact it’s ALL written in instant-messaging language. Personally, I think it revolutionizes the way we think of the English language.
It’s an awesome, and Lauren Myracle is a very talented author.
I completely agree! The thing I liked most abotu this book was that I felt like it was so realistic. Its the kind of book that can help you deal with your problems. This book made me realize so much! I love the series & Lauren Myracle is definitly 1 of the best authors out there!
Hey, you aren’t alone! They are pretty good books.
