Product Description

From School Library Journal

Grade 9-11–Best friends Angela, Maddie, and Zoe are back for their junior year in this sequel to ttyl (Abrams, 2004), also written entirely in text-message format. Zoe has recently started working with Angelas former crush, Doug, at Kidding Around, a daycare. Zoe is not sure how to tell her that she likes Doug, and just when she gets up the courage, Angela drops the bomb that her family is moving to California. Maddie is in love with Clive, who doesnt mind spending time with her and even occasionally making out, but hes in love with someone else. He is witty and charming and DEEP. He is also a pothead. In her efforts to keep him interested, Maddie begins smoking pot. As her friends put up protests, she gets defensive and tension ensues. Angela attempts to make new friends, but misses her old ones fiercely. She also misses having a romantic interest. As a result, on New Years Eve, she drunk dials Doug. He breaks the news that he is now with Zoe, which exacerbates her loneliness and feelings of isolation. Confrontations result but the three friends resolve their differences. This is definitive chick-lit, a comfortable read that explores sexuality, drugs, depression, and learning about oneself. Myracle does an excellent job of developing the characters and a plot that is easy to get into and fun to follow.–Emily Garrett, Naaman Forest High School, Garland, TX

From Booklist

Gr. 10-12. This sequel to the popular ttyl (2004) is just as satisfying as the first book. Now 16, Atlanta teens Angela, Zoe, and Madigan continue to cope with the issues related to romance, family problems, and their own friendship. Once again the story is written mostly in instant messages, with the narrative unfolding in three distinct voices and in the girls' interactions on the screen. This time, Madigan becomes involved with booze, pot, and another girl's boyfriend; Zoe worries that she's frigid; and Angela must move to northern California. The friends commiserate, support, and counsel one other--not always wisely but certainly credibly. There's some crude language as readers are drawn into the girls' intimate conversations, but the dialogue always rings true. Myracle's only misstep is homesick Angela's decision to run away and return to Atlanta. Fans of ttyl will want this second helping, but readers need not have read the first book to enjoy it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not redeeming, Sep 25 2007

This review is from: TTFN (Ta-Ta for Now) (Paperback)

Just because some kids do drugs, swear, and have sex does not mean we need to glorify those for all kids. Didn't find anything redeeming enough in the book to pass it on to any teens. It went in the recycling. Hopefully it will do more good made into something else.

I don't like giving a bad review - but felt inclined to in this case.

1.0 out of 5 stars What a surprise, Jan 11 2009

By Laura Ready - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: TTFN (Ta-Ta for Now) (Paperback)

My daughter received this series for Christmas. I was appalled after perusing them. The previous Lauren Myracle books were full of promise. These are full of trash. We took them back and purchased three more appropriate books.

1.0 out of 5 stars Trash, Sep 18 2007

By E. Gagnon - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: TTFN (Ta-Ta for Now) (Paperback)

I bought this book for my daughter only after asking the salesgirl in the store if it was appropriate for a 12 year old, I was assured it was. Last night my daughter came up to me and asked what a bl*wjob was. Apparently this is discussed in the book. Needless to say she will NOT be reading anymore books by this author or in this series
