Book review of Ttyl by Lauren myracle

Lauren Myracle's Ttyl opened the girly side of me with her text message style and interesting story.
I have never read a book like this one before. Ttyl was written in text form and that made the book fun to read, but that also made the book hard to follow. I never really got the feeling that I was there with the girls. They were always talking about their day after the day had already happened. I always like a play by play when I read. Reading this book was enjoyable though because I had never read a book like this one. I always like to mix up my reading styles.
Myracle talks about three girls in her book. Angela, Zoe, and Maddie are best friends. Angela is the more outspoken one, and always looking for a boy to date. In the book, she has a crush rob and they date for awhile, but then he dumps her and she moves right on to the next guy! Zoe is more calm. She is shy and doesn't look for boyfriends. Zoe just lays low and goes with the flow. Maddie is harsh and rough. She is the tough one out of the bunch. No one messes with her but she does have a soft side. Maddie is also a little boy crazy. All of these girls remind me of the different types of people in high school.
In this book, the girls are starting their tenth grade year. They all get mixed up with the boys and then all of a sudden, Maddie becomes best friends with Jana! Jana used to be their enemy, but Angela and Zoe do not know why Maddie is friends with her. Jana tries to take Maddie away from the girls. While this is all going on, the three best friends are trying to plan a road trip, but Angela and Zoe do not want Jana coming. Do the girls get to go on their road trip with out Jana? Will everything fall into place before the trip? Read and find out what happens!
This book would be great for teenage girls. They would love to read the young, exciting novel by Lauren Myracle. This book will keep them entertained and turning the page.
