      TTYL is yet another of those titles that I decided to read primarily because it has been frequently challenged in libraries. From what I can see the challenges are likely based on some sexual discussion and maybe a few bad words. The story is told entirely in instant messages, with all the lingo and abbreviation that entails. The characters are three best friends in high school, each with their own distinct personalities and issues. The book covers obsessive high school crushing, inappropriate teacher interaction, religious searching, and the old standby of betrayal by fickle friends. It all boils down to a fast and trendy book with a true-blue friends-til-the-end message that will likely draw in reluctant readers who find books written in traditional prose too time-consuming. Not my favorite book, but it has its place.
    • 4/5
      I decided to read this book for a bit of light easy reading and that is exactly what I got. I enjoyed the book. ttyl is written as IMing among friends. The book was a nice read. It was interesting to see how when something is written it can be interpreted in many different ways.

      Title: TTYL Author: Lauren Myracle Publisher: Amulet Number Of Pages: 229Summary from back of book: Told entirely in instant messages, this smart, funny novel is about humor, hangovers, and heartaches of high school, and the friendships that get you through it all. On the first day of tenth grade, best friends Maddie (madmaddie) Angela (SnowAngel), and Zoe (zoegirl) vow not to let school stupidness get them down... or split them apart. But as the weeks pass and the instant messages accumulate, it's clear that tenth grade will be a roller coaster ride of boy temptation, math torture, donut emergencies, and Queen Bee encounters. Then a jerky boy sends peppy Angela into the dumps,tough Maddie makes a mistake that has the whole school talking,and good girl Zoe gets in over her head with a flirty teacher. Will the winsome threesome make it through the year?Review: When I got this book I thought that a book in instant messenger sounded interesting. I finished the book a few hours later and thought about it and I like all three characters a lot. Lauren Myracle did an excellent job on this book and I will pick up the other books in the series soon.I recommend this book if you like instant messenger, young adult novels, and Lauren Myracle

      Myracle's ttyl captures the reality of the digital teen's world. Written in IM conversation, three best friends share thoughts about parents, school, boys, and sex with all of the high school drama that captivates modern teenagers. The plot could be more interesting and sometimes the dialogue is a little forced, but this book deserves recognition for connecting to teen readers in a their language. Myracle's IM format raises some interesting questions about modern fiction: is this just a gimmick or is this the future of young adult lit? I view it like a modern version of a diary.
    • 3/5
      The book is entirely written in Instant Messages between three best friends during their sophomore year in high school. Easy to read, fast-paced and unique, this book kept me reading to the end. I wanted to read this book after seeing a local news story of some mom's protesting this book being in their kids school library. Now, there is some sexual content and use of profanity but nothing that really shocked me. I am knot a teenager, but I was once. This was all stuff I would have chatted with friends about at sleep overs. However, the problem they had was that it was in the middle school. They had no problem with it being read by high school age kids they just didn't want their pre-teens reading it quite yet
    • 3/5
      The inside of this book is a collection of online chat groups. The whole story is written in abbreviations of words and phrases. The title really expresses the inner book. The three emoticons show the personalities of the girls this book is about. Three girls, Zoe, Angela and Madi are going through high school, and experiencing the drama that comes with it. They face challenges together and TTYL talks about their lives. Their new friendships and bad decisions. Madi is a tomboy who develops a friendship with the school's popular girl, Jana. But her friends think that she is being used for her car and ability to drive. She makes a decision that could change her life forever. Angela is caught up in young love and can't get over the boy that she dated first. But will she find love in an unsuspected boy? Zoe finds she loves going to church, but with her English teacher. She rides with him there, alone and back to her house, alone with him. He starts to give hints about liking Zoe. But she cant seem to turn down a date with him. This book would be a lot better if it wasn't written all in text. The plot was good but not interesting enough for me. I feel like they should have had more emotions towards the situations that went on. The book loses tons of detail when you have it all in texting form. We don't really get to know the characters individually either. You have to infer a lot of information, like gaps in time and what went on during the day. This book would be good for you if you like to infer. If not, you probably would not enjoy TTYL.
    • 5/5
      This book was about three girls and how their lifes were in school. Their lifes in middle school and all the way up to high school. I loved this book, it is probably the best book I have read so far in school. I could realate so part of the book and what emotion they are going through. There are fights and make ups between the three girls, and I know that every girl has those fights and make ups. I could also realate to one of the girls in this book. She is the one who mostly gets in trouble.

    • 4/5
      _ttyl_ tells about a few months in the lives of three 15-year-old sophomores - Angela, Maddie and Zoe - who've been best friends for years. However, when sophomore year begins, each girl faces some serious conflict which challenges their friendships.This whole story is told in instant messages between the girls, complete with IM slang, which can get a bit confusing. What I found very fascinating about this story is the whole idea of unreliable narrators - everything the reader learns about the events in the story is filtered through the eyes of the character telling the story, so we get zero unbiased views. I also liked the dynamics between the characters, as well as the way they truly looked out for one another, even while fighting. I read _ttyl_ for a teen book discussion group, and I'm excited to get the group's views on the book: did they think the format was a good way to tell the story? What are their thoughts on privacy and the internet? Do they, like Angela, ever wonder "how much of other ppl r just images they made up. like maybe ppl lie about all kinds of things - how would we ever know?"
    • 4/5
      Far from being precious, the format proves perfect for accurately capturing the sweet histrionics and intimate intricacies of teenage girls. Grownups (and even teenage boys) might feel as if they've intercepted a raw feed from Girl Secret Headquarters, as the book's three protagonists--identified by their screen names "SnowAngel," "zoegirl," and "mad maddie"--tough their way through a rough-and-tumble time in high school. Conversations range from the predictable (clothes, the delicate high-school popularity ecosystem, boys, boys in French class, boys in Old Navy commercials, etc.) to the the jarringly explicit (the girls discuss female ejaculation: "some girls really do, tho. i read it in our bodies, ourselves") and the unintentionally hilarious (Maddie's IM reduction of the Christian poem "Footprints"--"oh, no, my son. no, no, no. i was carrying u, don't u c?").But Myracle's triumph in ttyl comes in leveraging the language-stretching idiom of e-mail, text messaging, and IM. Reaching to express themselves, the girls communicate almost as much through punctuation and syntactical quirks as with words: "SnowAngel: 'cuz--drumroll, please--ROB TYLER is in my french class!!! *breathes deeply, with hand to throbbing bosom* on friday we have to do "une dialogue" together. i get to ask for a bite of his hot dog.'"Myracle already proved her command of teenage girl-ness with Kissing Kate, but the self-imposed convention of ttyl allows a subtlety that is even more brilliant. Parents might like reading the book just to quantify how out of touch they are, but teens will love the winning, satisfyingly dramatic tale of this tumultuous trio. (Ages 13 to 17) --Paul Hughes(Taken from Good Reads)My review contains slight spoilers*towards the very end.I thought it would be hard to read this book because it would be written in text language, but it was simple. I saw the objectionable parts, but in actuality they were learning opportunities. The story begins with an overly happy Snow Angel dispersing daisies to both Mad Maddie and Zoe Girl. I don't think a more unlikely trio could be found than these three. Snow Angel/Angela is all about clothes, makeup and boys. She is vivacious and eternally happy. Mad Maddie/Madigan is no nonsense tough and tomboy all the way. She dresses tough and nobody messes with her. And Zoe Girl/Zoey is reserved, perfect, quiet, the voice of reason and a blend in the crowd kind of dresser. In any case, they've all 3 been BFFs since seventh grade.The beginning of tenth grade is a beginning of changes for all of them. Angela falls fast and hard for a boy she dates for a week and then stalks him when he decides he likes another girl. It shakes her confidence and she can't seem to let go of him. Her friends are ready to pick up the pieces when she's crushed, but they aren't ready for how she reacts and don't listen to their advice telling her it's over.Maddie becomes friends with the teen queen Jana who she couldn't stand just days earlier and starts ditching her friends for Jana. Angela cannot understand and Zoey tried so keep the peace between the two. Maddie continually defends her friendship with Jana and she and Angela grow further and further apart. In the meantime though, Maddie is telling Zoey things she tells her not to tell Angela and telling Angela things not to tell Zoey.And then there is Zoey and Mr. H. He's invited her to Young Life on Friday mornings which she attends and enjoys. He picks her up at her house and takes her to the meetings. Then he asks her to church. She attends and enjoys it. And then it's bingo at his mother's nursing home. All the time she's convincing herself that it's all innocent while Angela is telling her it isn't and Maddie is just making fun of the religious part of it. Zoey isn't sure what it is.Then Halloween night, something happens to Maddie that changes everything and tests their friendship to its boundaries. Will it survive and will they be there for each other when another one of the trio needs their support and rescue? Some more controversial scenarios include scenarios that showed what can happen when you drink alcohol and the other cautions about student/teacher relationships. I think Lauren Myracle handled both very well and the characters she chose to deal with those were the right ones. It was a great book and I can't wait to read the others. I definitely think this is for the 14 and up crowd but it's very timely especially with how readily available alcohol is to kids these days and more and more teacher/student relationships are being reported, whether consensual or not. Myracle shows the manipulation that can happen and how all of a sudden you're stuck or trapped into a situation you can't believe you're in.

      very entertaining. i love how the girls interact with eachother, and play out a story of teen drama. Of course I've read all three!!!!
    • 3/5
      This book is written entirely in IM chat between three 15-year-old girls. It took me several pages to get the hang of reading it. It's hard 2 read IM when u aren't used 2 it! This book is very popular among it's target audience, but it has stirred up a lot of controversy among parents who think the subject matter is too mature and the language too crude. Reading TTYL made me think back to when I was a teen and how I kept in touch with my best friends. We wrote notes back and forth all the time, which I'm guessing is a dead art by now. Why write when you can text? We also spoke on the phone for hours at a time, which drove my parents crazy because we didn't have call waiting. People would complain to my dad that they could never get through when they called our number. The girls in this book had virtually constant access to each other through IM and it was interesting to see how it affected their relationships. I won't be reading the rest of the series. I guess I'm too old for it; I just prefer a more traditional style of book. I never chat with my friends through IM. For some reason I just can't stand it and I don't have much interest in reading other peoples' IMing.
    • 1/5
      This is... I only have one word for this book: embarassing, for the reader and the author. I've only read this book because I liked the first novel I read from Lauren, but come ON! This book was the worst novel I've ever read. Not only was the dialogue shallow but the characters... I don't know what to say. Whoever gives this book more than 2 stars is a total mainac! I'm not even going to talk about the writing, when there wasn't even a real plot and the whole book was set in a chat room!I thought becuase Myracle isn't a bad writer she would pull something off (my friend recommended me this book) but boy was I wrong. To say the least, no plot took place, all they talked about was their boyfriends and parties, while all the while Lauren thought her characters were smart? If you told me this was a mocking of the real TTYL I would have believed you. All critisism that exists for this book, I agree with. I'm sorry, but this is the worst book I've ever read and I don't think I'd even recommend it to an enemy much less a friend. Oh and I forgot, there wasn't any writing! I get it, the author wasn't "writing" the book, she was scribling lines of dialogue between characters that didn't exist and a plot that didn't take place. If you haven't figured it out already, I would not recommend.
    • 4/5
      I really liked this book. It is a fun take on traditional epistolary novels (Feeling Sorry for Celia, The Year of Secret Assignments) which I also love. This book delves into the realms of IMing with your friends Zoe (zoegirl) - hyper good girl, Maddie (madmaddie) - hard on the outside, soft on the inside and Angela (SnowAngel) - complete prep (*woot woot for the preps!* says angela whilst stomping feet and cheering madly)I think that it is so real and funny. The girls are complete best buds no matter what gets them down... and there is a lot to be gotten down by in 10th grade! Mean boys, obscene pics, and creepy teachers... These girls will take it all heads held high... Well, more like keyboards held high!
    • 2/5
      I'm almost not sure what to say about this book. It was ...immature and unnecessarily over-dramatic. It was definitely a young adult novel, but it felt like the girls were too young to be involved with that they were involved in. Or that they just approached it in a ridiculously immature way. They were definitely just TRYING to create drama, which really bugged me. I can't stand people who make drama for the sake of making drama. Just ...why? They really lived up to the stereotype of dramatic girls who give the rest a bad name. You know the ones I'm talking about. I wouldn't recommend this for any young readers for fear of teaching them that this how your young years are meant to be spent, or to older readers who I feel would be just as irritated with this book as I am.

      A story of the trials and tribulations of high school told through a series of IM sessions that take place between the 3 main characters during the first few months of their sophomore year. The characters, the emotions, the friendship, and support ring true and keep the pages turning.
    • 4/5
      This book was fun because all of it the novel was written in instant messaging. It is about three girls going into their second year of high school. They sonfront new problems such as making new freinds, chosing bad actions and much more. I would suggest this book to preteens and teenagers.

      Angela (SnowAngel), Maddie (mad maddie), and Zoe (zoegirl) are best friends just entering their sophomore year of high school. Everyone tells them that high school friendships don’t last, but these three friends are determined to prove the nay-sayers wrong. Through instant messages, they exchange heartache and laughter, personality quizzes and rants about their rude classmates. Angela falls too hard for the wrong guy, Maddie tries to fit in with the “in” crowd (with disastrous results), and Zoe gets in over her head with a young English teacher. Through their individual ups and downs, however, they learn that they always have each other, and that friendship transcends all the obstacles that might try to come between them.Lauren Myracle’s TTYL is especially fun to read because of its sheer creativity. I’ve never read anything told entirely in instant messages, and once you get past the “Internet speak” (srsly, wat happened 2 the days wen spelling mattered?) you find a charming story in a unique format. I’m very impressed at the way Myracle develops her characters through just IMs. The originality and engagement of the plot fell short—the issues were slow to develop and not discussed as deeply as they could’ve been—but on the whole, TTYL is a satisfying novel for the new teenage girl. This is a great way to get tweens into reading.
    • 3/5
      TTYL is a novel built entirely on novelty. As the first book to be written entirely in IM’s (instant messages), TTYL will undoubtedly capture the attention of high school students for its quirky and unique format, but will probably not have the shelf-life of more intricate pieces of literature. Sadly, TTYL might be a book “of the times,” but it won’t be a book “for all times.”I initially read TTYL because it was identified as 2009’s “#1 banned book” by the American Library Association, and I wanted to see what all of the fuss was about. Surprisingly, the book is actually pretty PG… with some very notable exceptions: occasional sprinklings of adult language, teen alcohol consumption, intoxicated stripping at a party, and a handful of crude references to human body parts. However, apart from these “mature” moments, TTYL is pretty tame – especially when compared with what kids can see on MTV or Comedy Central at any given time of day.The plot of TTYL revolves around the trivial and not-so-trivial life events of the self-proclaimed “winsome threesome,” a trio of intelligent tenth-grade girls who are navigating their way through the strange and confusing world of high school. One character, Angela, is the prototypical boy-crazy teen; another, Zoe, is the sweet and studious type; the last, Maddie, is the brave and adventurous girl who is dangerously susceptible to outside influences. Essentially, TTYL is a cautionary tale: it warns teens to not consume too much alcohol at parties, date their English teachers, or (most importantly) abandon their friends. That last piece of advice provides the binding theme for TTYL, as all three of the main characters discover just how important it is to have friends who can accompany you through the hard times of high school.One big challenge for Myracle is that most of the action in the novel takes place “off-screen” (get it?), as we are only allowed to see what each of the characters writes about her experiences. In some ways, this is actually a more accurate reflection of reality: we oftentimes only learn about our friends’ experiences as they recount stories and events, not because we are there ourselves. Likewise, the IM format of the book also requires that Myracle rethink the storytelling paradigm and find new ways to differentiate between her main characters. In order to distinguish between the voices of the three protagonists, Myracle uses different font types and colors – a device which requires some patience at first, but which eventually becomes easier to read. The fact that Myracle is able to create distinct voices for each of her three characters is a testament to her creativity and craft, though it doesn’t entirely make up for the lack of a stronger storyline.The target audience of TTYL is high school girls – young women who might see their own lives and character traits reflected in Zoe, Maddy, and Angela. In fact, since I purchased TTYL for my school library, I haven’t been able to keep it on the shelf: a flurry of high school girls (not a single boy has checked it out yet) find the book, plow through it in a short period of time, and return it well before the due date. While few of these girls will date their English teachers or get photographed naked at a party, they will undoubtedly find their own personal friendships tested by life events. Because of this, TTYL will provide these girls with a sneak peek into the world of “what-if,” and they will hopefully learn some life lessons from the trials and tribulations of the main characters. These same girls will most likely enjoy the quirkiness and originality of Myracle’s tech-savvy storytelling; however, once they look past the novelty of the IM format, they might see TTYL for what it essentially is: a forgettable, mediocre afterschool special/Lifetime movie of the week.

      The first book I´ve read that is written in IM language and it was a fun read, dealing with issues very relevant to young adults. I think high school girls would really enjoy the characters, the storyline, and the writing style. It would be a great book to use in the classroom to discuss the differences between informal and formal writing styles.

      Thie book is about three best friends and you follow thier lives by reading there IM chat. The whole story is on the computer, and not going to lie it gets boring. I did finish the book but I wish I droped it, it kinda is a "summer book". What I call a "summer book" is a book that really should be saved for your free time not for your school reading assignment. TTYL is also really predictable I could tell what was going to happen at the end by the first two chapters. I would reccomend this for a free time book if you like easy quick books, but don't read this for school its not going to get you anywhere.

      Not a good book at all, definitely one that I would not recommend to boys, and only to very immature girls. However, the reason that I did read it was to gauge its' raunchiness after all of the censorship claims I've heard of this book. Most of the truly offensive stuff comes at the beginning, but then becomes fairly mild with conversations similar to what many girls have. There definitely is some redeeming value to the book that transcend its' bad reputation, mainly in how online conversation can be both harmful and beneficial.
