TTYL by Lauren Myracle is a young adult book written entirely in computer IM language. The change in colors and fonts for each of the three girls make it easy to read, and the presentation and voice are both highly appealing to the teen reader.

Snow Angel, Mad Maddie, and Zoegirl have been best friends for, like, four years. This is the story of their friendship and their commitment to be there for one another, no matter what. Like when Snow Angel finds her true love (not the same one from a couple of weeks earlier), and falls apart when he cruelly dumps her. Like when Mad Maddie, in an effort to try to be in the "it" crowd, goes to a party, gets drunk, and finds herself in the middle of an Internet scandal as a result. Like when Zoegirl trusts the wrong teacher and finds herself in hot water.

Over and over, the girls come through for one another, even if they are in the middle of a fight. The emotions and relationships are real and the dialogue is cutting edge. The reader will most likely identify with at least one of the girls. You'll care for them so much you'll feel great relief when they bail each other out of one predicament after another.

This was a fun read and I can't wait to read the next books in this series.

Lauren Myracle strikes again, with another fantastic novel! This book I have to say is one of my favorite books. This book hooks you 'till the last page. I read it in 3 days but I'm a slow reader so that's pretty fast for me. You'll never want to put this book down. All teenage girls can really relate to this book. TTYL is all about 3 highschool girls that are trying to make it through their first year. The 3 of them have been best friends since 7th grade. They have a really good, strong, bond with each other. This book not only talks about boys but it talks about stuff that can teach you a lot. I don't wan't to give the whole book away but one of the girls go to a party and gets drunk. You are gonna die because theres not a sequel. Oh ya, and the whole entire book is done in IM's so that makes it really fun. It;s really fun to put yourself in one of the girls position. You can totally relate to all of these girls in different ways. I totally recomend that you not only get it from your library but that you buy it. It's totally worth it. There is so much more that goes on in this book that i want to tell you but my guess is that you want to find it out for yourself. I hope that my review helped you.

Sex and The City For Kids (without good writing)

Reviewed in Canada on April 10, 2004

Just picked up this winner in the Young Adults section of Border's for my about to turn thirteen year old daughter. As defined in the book description the target audience is 13-17. At least the creators of Sex and The City target their show to adults and don't enter it in this category. However the subject matter and crude descriptiveness in this book could have found it's way onto that show. If you don't believe me, pick it up at the store and see if you would be willing to read pages 10-11 aloud to a group of junior high girls'.(although doing so would probably subject you to arrest) It's bad enough the pressures on young girls' to be sexualized everywhere they look, but it would be nice if we could turn them loose in the literature for kid's; especially when the book jacket tells us of the author's credentials in writing for young people. Perhaps Larry Flynt might have a place for Ms. Myracle in his Letter's to the editor section.

I remember seeing this book in the bookstore when it first came out, but I never read it. After reading the book Upside Down Magic, which is coauthored by Lauren Myracle, I decided to give this series a try. Since I knew this book was published 14 years ago, I was shocked at all of the current references. The girls watched Scandal and Grey’s Anatomy. These references actually really confused me at first, until I read that it was actually an updated version if the book with current popular culture references! This makes the book relevant for today’s teens. I really enjoyed this story. It is told in a unique format, because it is only told through texts between three friends. They have to summarize some things they do outside of the texts so the reader knows what’s happening. The subject matter of the story was very serious at times. One of the girls has an inappropriate relationship with a teacher while another is bullied once an explicit video is posted online. These are realistic issues that can come up in any high school. This is a great book! I’m looking forward to the rest of the series.

I just wanted to say that I totally loved this book. All three girls are great and the story of their friendship is a joy to read. Praise to Lauren Myracle for having the courage to write this story as text messages and do such a fine job. I can thoroughly recommend this book as a great read.

IF YOU ARE MATURE AND HAVE HAD A GOOD UPBRINGING BY YOUR PARENTS, THIS BOOK WILL NOT BE A BAD INFLUENCE ON YOU!!!!!!!!!!! I am 13. I have just finished reading this book about 30 minutes ago. I loved it. I was short, took me less than 8 hours to read (unlike some books), and amused me. I do have to warn some people though: If you do not want your child reading stuff that normal teenagers talk about, do not be offended when you or your daughter reads pages 10 & 11 or any of the others like them. I understand that some people find that kind of stuff offensive and think it is too "mature" for their pre-teen/young teen. This book has no plot. There isn't supposed to be one. It is a book about 3 girls who have been best friends for 4 years (Angela: the outgoing one; Maddie: the wild one; Zoe: the calm Church-goer). They Instant Message each other all throughout the book and discuss what is happening in their lives. The stuff they talk about and/or do is mostly amusing and funny, but some of it can be just the thing some moms want their children to stay away from. The friends go through every-day normal things like break-ups and grudges and even embarrassing party moments that get the whole school talking.

Even though many mothers would think that since Maddie danced topless on a table because she was drunk, that it would be a bad influence on their daughters. Well, if that influences your daughter in a bad way, it's not the book's fault. Right now, I have no desire to go to a party, get drunk off spiked Kool-Aid, and dance topless on a table while boys throw quarters at me. Most likely, neither will you or your daughter just because a book character did it. Yes, there is cussing. Yes, almost all teenagers cuss. Don't say that your teen doesn't because your teen most likely has done it when you are not around and just lies about it. Everyone I know cusses (I know A LOT of people, even if they aren't my friends) even if it's only once a month. My teachers cuss, my entire school cusses, and you probably do, too. I didn't read the reviews before buying this book (I bought it because I love the author) and I was not offended and I don't think bad about Lauren. I suggest you read the book. Some parts are nasty, I know, but sooner or later, it'll all be a part of life. If you disagree with anything I'm saying, I'm sorry, but I really don't want a bunch of angry mothers commenting that I'm a bad kid or that I hang around with bad people if everyone I know swears. Thank you.

A fun and reflective read.

I really enjoyed this book, and I plan to read the entire series. It was funny and full of pop cultural references. The three teenage characters were interesting and relatable, if not a bit caricatured. Their conversations do have some "mature" content, but I wouldn't deprive any teen of this experience. These are the things that teenagers talk about and deal with - sex, delinquency, peer pressure, etc. This book could be a nice way to introduce these topics to a teen. That being said, I'm a 22 year old male, so take that as you will.

It wasn't my type of book, but it wasn't meant to be. I accidentally purchased this for Kindle while looking at it for my niece. Instead of requesting a refund, I decided to read it. While it wasn't my type of book, it is an interesting idea and it was well written. I was a teen during the whole AIM era, and I could definitely see my female friends writing like this. Definitely took me back. Side note my niece absolutely loved the book. So this rating is halfway between what we'd individually rate it.
