L8R G8R

About two weeks ago I started reading TTYL, a book told totally out of instant messaging. Currently I am read the last book in the series, L8R G8R. Maddie (madmaddie) Zoe (zoegirl), and Angela (Snowangel), are in their last year of highschool! I'm only half way through and I cant imagine what else could happen! Usually in the past books in the series (TTYL and TTFN) have had a sudden unexpected twist at the last couple days of the book. So far Maddie and Angela have been spending a lot of time together, getting closer and closer, while Zoe (though still 'true blue' with Maddie and Angela) has been drifting away, spending more and more and too much time with her boyfriend, Doug. Angela, though she refuses to admit it, seems to be slightly falling in love with Doug who has been in love with Angela, up until Zoe came in!
Through out the books you can so easily imagine what their life is like. Although instant messages aren't descriptive its nice to know what other people are thinking, not just the main character. And through it, its so easy to pick favorites! With girls abandoning each other and what they do, told through the messages, everyone has their own favorite. And it depends with the book! For example, each girl changes through the books. Another life lesson and another mistake made. So you'd think that in their Senior Year of high school they'd have it all figured out.
But nothing comes easy!
This book is great, and a fast read. It's hilarious (though the humor is pretty PG-13), sweet and very hooking. I recomend the whole series!

About a week ago I started reading a book called TTYL. It's told completely out of instant messaging, so of course theres those "I shouldn't say this cause it'll be online forever but..." moments. I haven't finished it yet, but it so far it's so good.
Basically it's about three highschoolers life's... in high school.
Theres Zoe, the saint-like, perfect-at-everything, super-sweet, Maddie, tomboy, mad-Maddie, funny, and Angela, the hopeless romantic, drama queen. The "winsome threesome" all go through different twists and turns of their first couple months of high school.
I could not put this book down, last night I took a good three hours "getting ready for bed". The book is so funny, and even if you don't like to read you'll love this book!
The book has a series so it probably wont have any ending. It's the kind of book that you wanna read the last chapter, just to see what's gonna happen. Since it is written through iChat don't expect any amazing metaphors or spectacular descriptions. Though it isn't set up like normal books it still has all the clever writing and amazing wit. The characters are hilarious and everything they do is too. Its not from any one persons perspective so you hear all the other characters think about each other versus just the main characters. Of course they have opinions on each other so the story is more relatable. Some of the times I want to slap the characters for being so dumb, or think about what I would have said.
I completely recommend this book! It's so good!
