As might be expected, there is a falling-out among the friends.
Flourishes such as emoticons and Internet lingo add realism the book's title translates to "talk to you later," and Angela adds stage direction to her messages, writing "*stomps foot*" (when she believes Maddie is withholding information) or "*jumps up and down and squeals*" (when Zoe promises her a makeover). Though the main characters and the plotting seem familiar, readers will appreciate Myracle's portrayal of the supportive friends: they listen to one another, plan a surprise party and a road trip, and when Maddie is low, Angela and Zoe make her a care package with a poem that Angela calls "mushy but not 2 mushy." Their messages at times contain too much plotting to seem like realistic chats, but the style makes for an engaging, quick read. As they start 10th grade, social Angela catches her new boyfriend on a date with another girl tough Maddie is befriended, then humiliated, by a popular girl and "good little Zoe" finds herself crushing on a teacher who seems to be interested in her, too. Ultimately, the Internet Girls series became the ninth-most banned book between 20.Myracle's (Kissing Kate) approach is creative, even if her newest novel is somewhat formulaic: three best friends hash out their lives from new relationships to conflicts with one another through instant messages. Challengers content the book due to offensive language and sexually explicit content, as well as being unsuited for the age group and going against a religious viewpoint. The books received the number seven spot in 2007, the number three spot in 2008, the number one spot in 20. The Internet Girls series has often landed on the American Library Association's list of banned and challenged books. ĭespite the books' positive reception, the series became the ninth-most banned book between 20.
In 2004, the first book of the series, ttyl, gained attention for being the first book written entirely in the style of an instant messaging conversation.
