Product Description
From School Library Journal
Grade 10 Up—The "Winsome Threesome" are back for their senior year, and boy, do they have a lot to talk about! This third and final installment about Maddie, Zoe, and Angela takes the girls in new directions, and, with Jana (the series' antagonist) back with a vengeance, they are struggling to retain their "bff" status. Rife with the daily drama of modern-day high school, the book's appeal is widespread. As before, the story is told through a series of instant-message and chat-room conversations and is written entirely in that "language," which also adds to its appeal. Suddenly, 200-plus pages don't seem like a lot, and reluctant readers gain a sense of achievement having breezed through what appears to be quite a lengthy novel. Be aware that as these teens mature, so does the book's content. Reading the first two titles helps with understanding references to past events but is not necessary to enjoy this one. Well written, thoughtful, and well developed, this novel is the perfect conclusion for this series.—Erika Kwasnik, Norwich High School Library, NY

From Booklist
The third book in Myracle's online chat trilogy, which began with ttyl (2004), finds Zoe, Angela, and Maddie spending most of their time considering boyfriends, college choices, and getting the better of a nasty classmate. Readers will recognize each girl's distinctive voice, personality, and particular chat style, all of which have remained consistent across the series. In this book Zoe loses her virginity--in her typical, carefully planned fashion; Angela has her pride damaged by a guy who first gives her a Jeep; and brash Maddie, who avoids getting into a romantic quagmire, sets the pace for the friends' rebellion against their parents' choices of colleges. This will certainly appeal to the characters' peers, but it's also a good choice for adults who want to know what's happening in teenagers' lives. Francisca Goldsmith

Parents beware!, Aug 27 2009
By Margaret - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: l8r, g8r: Internet Girls (Paperback)
This book is marketed to the pre-teen/early teen crowd, but it is completely inappropriate for the 11-15 age group. There are graphic descriptions of both oral sex and the loss of virginity, as well as profanity, alcohol use, extra-marital affairs, and an overall message that pleasing a boy sexually is a prerequisite to becoming a woman. After performing her first sexual act on a boy as a "going away present" ("cause i won't c him for a week") one character actually exclaims to her friends, "I feel so proud of myself!" I can't imagine a worse book for a girl.

Sends Teen Girls All the Wrong Messages, Dec 15 2009
By Allison Strine - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: l8r, g8r: Internet Girls (Paperback)
My 6th grader brought this book home from a friend, and I was shocked, I mean SHOCKED (and I'm no prude), at the themes in this book. The storyline follows three high school seniors IMing with each other. They discuss in lurid details one girl's loss of virginity, as well as oral sex (in detail). One girl goes to a doc for birth control pills. They talk about drinking and partying as if it were the norm for a senior. There's an escalating theme of hatred as two sets of girls do increasing cruel things to each other, including one girl placing a Craig's List sex ad with another girl's home phone number. (The author seems to think it helps the dramatic tension to actually spell out the sex ad to the reader, in all its f-word, multiple orgasm glory.) One girl takes a gift of a jeep from a boyfriend she was about to break up with, but now decides to string along. Throughout the story, there's no feeling that the characters are anything but shallow, image-obsessed, crude, amoral people.The thing that made me feel saddest about this book, aside from my daughter's innocence being dissolved after reading a tiny bit, is that this series of books are so popular. With all of the wonderful books out there for teens, this crap is part of a New York Times best selling series. Really? This is what we're spending our money on?
This book makes me want to have rating systems on kids' books. It was that gross.

Horrible Read, May 21 2008
By H. Dozier "mom2girls" - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: l8r, g8r: Internet Girls (Paperback)
This book is so poorly written even if it was appropriate for children to read they should not. This is a 4th grade reading level at best yet geared for 15 year olds?? Why is the writing so moronic maybe it has to do with the three main dumb girls and the poorly written plot? Don't waste your time or your brain cells on this one.Caution to parents this book is not appropriate for children, don't be fooled by the cover and low reading level.
