Description

It's time for a new generation of readers to discover the phenomenally bestselling and beloved series, told entirely in messages and texts. With a fresh look and updated cultural references, the notorious list-topping series is ready for the iPhone generation. First published in 2004 (holy moly!), ttyl and its sequels follow the ups and downs of high school for the winsome threesome, three very different but very close friends: wild Maddie (mad maddie), bubbly Angela (SnowAngel), and reserved Zoe (zoegirl). Through teacher crushes, cross-country moves, bossy Queen Bees, incriminating party pics, and other bumps along the way, author Lauren Myracle explores the many potholes of teenagedom with the unflinching honesty and pitch-perfect humor that made this series a staple of young adult literature.

School Library Journal:

Both revealing and innovative, this novel will inspire

teens to pass it to their friends . . . nonnarrative

Myracle s approach is creative . . . an engaging

quick read . . . readers will cheer.

Myracle cleverly manages to build rich characters

and narrative tension without ever taking the story

outside of an IM box.

A surprisingly poignant tale of friendship, change,

and growth. Perfectly contemporary. ROTFL.

SnowAngel:

zoegirl:

yahootie!

SnowAngel:

i have a total adrenaline buzz going, even tho i am

completely and thoroughly exhausted. my muscles

r gonna be crazy sore tomorrow.

zoegirl:

i hear you. can you imagine how in shape we d be

if we did that every day?

SnowAngel:

we could call it the winsome-threesome workout-

of-the-century. we cld make an exercise video and

rake in oodles of cash.

zoegirl:

even my toenails are tired

SnowAngel:

*flops onto pretend bed and groans*

SnowAngel:

i told chrissy what we did, and she was like, u ran

up the escalator at peachtree center? that super-

duper long one?

zoegirl:

okay yes, but the critical point is that we ran up

the *down* escalator. you did explain that to her,

didn t u?

zoegirl:

that s gotta be the longest escalator in the world.

seriously, it s as long as a football field.

SnowAngel:

i nearly lost it when maddie stopped for a breather

and the escalator took her down, down, down. she

was all, noooo! i m losing ground!

zoegirl:

hee hee

SnowAngel:

but in the end we conquered it, cuz we can do

ANYTHING, baby.

SnowAngel:

it s like in the cave by my buds Mumford & Sons.

but i will hold on hope . . . and i ll find strength in

pain!

zoegirl:

god, i love Mumford & Sons.

SnowAngel:

i know. and that one particular song-it s like

therapy every time i listen to it.

zoegirl:

i like the line about wanting to live life as it s

meant to be lived.

SnowAngel:

i do too, and how even when things are hard, we

just keep going.

SnowAngel:

and do u know HOW we keep going? or at least

how *i* keep going?

zoegirl:

how?

SnowAngel:

cuz of u and mads.

zoegirl:

awwwww

SnowAngel:

it s true. true blue, me and u, and don t forget to

add maddie 2.

SnowAngel:

do u like my rhyme?

zoegirl:

very impressive

SnowAngel:

wait, there s more! er, let s c . . . since 7th grade they

did not part, they stayed connected in their hearts.

zoe s the good girl, maddie s wild, and sweet

darling angela is meek and mild.

zoegirl:

meek? hahahahaha! mild? hahahahaha!

SnowAngel:

fine, miss brainiac. U find something to rhyme with wild.

zoegirl:

and sweet goofy angela tends to act like a child ?

SnowAngel:

hey now!

zoegirl:

just teasing. you know i love you.

zoegirl:

i ve just got kid-type people on my brain, because

guess what? i got the job at Kidding Around!

SnowAngel:

wh-hoo! *happy dance, happy dance*

zoegirl:

there was a message waiting for me when i got

home. i m psyched.

SnowAngel:

toddlers. when do u start?

zoegirl:

zoegirl:

the thing is . . . i do.

SnowAngel:

zoe! noooo!

zoegirl:

saturday night s their busiest night! the director

wants me to come in for training.

SnowAngel:

but we were gonna watch Bridesmaids again!

and eat ugly carrots!

zoegirl:

i know, and i will miss eating my ugly carrot

very much. but we can watch Bridesmaids

tomorrow. that ll be even better, because that way

maddie can join us.

SnowAngel:

the point being that she has plans tonight too?

yeah, rub it in. u ve got yr job and maddie has her

cousin s wedding and i have a big old pile of poop.

thanks a lot.

zoegirl:

angela, you are such a drama queen. and you

don t have a big old pile of

. you have a

delicious bag of carrots! with hopefully at least

one ugly one mixed in for luck!

SnowAngel:

zoegirl:

you re not really mad, are you?

SnowAngel:

of course i m mad! *flames shoot from ears*

SnowAngel:

only not really, cuz this way i can watch as many

episodes of extreme makeover: home edition as

i want, and i will cry and it will be very emotional,

if u would just TRY the show then u would c what i

mean.

zoegirl:

umm . . . no

zoegirl:

but you know what s weird? and i mean this in

the nicest way ever. last year you would have

been totally upset if i d changed our plans at the

last minute. i mean, truly upset, with all kinds of

wounded hurt feelings. but this year, you re so

much more chill. why is that, do you think?

SnowAngel:

cuz i m a junior, that s why. *struts around in funky
4

junior-ness* cuz i can drive, even tho i don t have a

car. cuz i choose to live my life the way it s meant to

be lived, even tho i will be all alone on a saturday

night, and even tho there is seriously something up

with my parents, not that they ll admit it.

zoegirl:

there s something up with your parents? explain.

SnowAngel:

it s just this feeling i ve been getting.

zoegirl:

like what? and for how long?

SnowAngel:

i dunno, maybe a week?

zoegirl:

a week?! why are you just now telling me???

SnowAngel:

it s like they re hiding something, i can t explain it

better than that. i keep thinking that maybe i m

making it up, but then i think that i m not.

zoegirl:

hmm

zoegirl:

maybe it s a *good* thing they re hiding-like that

they re taking you to hawaii

SnowAngel:

i dunno, that somehow doesn t seem very likely.

SnowAngel:

but, whatever. i m not gonna worry about it, cuz i m

the new and improved Chill Angela. u think they wld

name a Barbie after me?

zoegirl:

definitely. for her accessory, she could have a tiny

iPhone.

SnowAngel:

no, her accessory would be a tiny picture of u, me,

and mads, cuz that s why i m chill for real. cuz no

matter what, i ve got u guys giving me my me-ness.

zoegirl:

maddie and i don t give you your you-ness. you

give yourself your you-ness.

SnowAngel:

you-ness. now there s a word for ya.

SnowAngel:

my granddad s name was eunice, btw

zoegirl:

your granddad? don t you mean your grandmom?

SnowAngel:

nope, my granddad. only he spelled it unus.

zoegirl:

ugh. what were his parents trying to do to him?

SnowAngel:

zoegirl:
