aliciaclarereads 's review for:

ttyl by Lauren Myracle

read for NEWTs 2019 readathon: Potions, A - polyjuice potion: read your friend's favorite book

Amber suggested I fulfill this prompt by reading her favorite book from 7th grade, so here I am!! I somehow escaped adolescence without reading this, and reading it for the first time at 25 is....... an experience. I did appreciate reading the 10th anniversary with the updated cultural references because lmao. The only thing they didn't update was Eckerd to Rite Aid, but man that name drop took me STRAIGHT to middle school.

Anyway I can't rate this book, because WOOF it's not great, but I appreciate how big a cultural moment this book was.
