ttyl (Internet Girls)

This funny, smart novel follows the friendship of three 16-year-old girls as they experience some of the typical pitfalls of adolescence: boys, queen-bee types, a flirty teacher, beer, crazy parents, and more. Lauren Myracle has a gift for dialogue and characterization, and the girls emerge as three distinctive and likable personalities through their Internet correspondence. This light, fast-paced read is told entirely in instant message format, the first book ever for young adults to be written so.
