Disclosure: Got an advanced reader copy for free from LibraryThing Early Reviewers in exchange for an honest review. Nobody (including the author, publisher, or LibraryThing) had any say in this review and didn't read it until it was public.

This book was different from other books that I have read (and that you will probably read), it wasn't bad different, it was just different.

Sometimes the book was very vague, but other parts had very much detail. It made for a nice change but it did make it harder for me as a reader. Sometimes the book seemed more like a short story, or a journal, but some readers may appreciate it.

The characters (Jamie and Taylor) sometimes say what is on their mind, and sometimes say the exact opposite of what I was thinking. To me some of it came across as rude, but without more details it's hard to say.

In this book you not only get to read the characters text messages, but also online searches, which allows you to understand the character in a different depth. It's not something I've come across in my reading but it was nice.

If you are reading this on a e reader then do note that the icons and pictures in the book may not show or look weird. Some of them do add to the story, but if you don't seem it doesn't doesn't mean you will miss something.

The way the book was written, as text messages, could be great for some readers but also annoying for others because of the many lines and small amount on each line.

As with many books, there are a couple of times where I felt like it was filler, just added to meet some requirement, and provided nothing in return. I felt the author could have not included them and the story wouldn't have changed much.

Some parts of the books felt like reading poetry, or watching a true crime story. I don't know if the author intended that, and I certainly didn't expect it but it felt like a nice change in the book.

In the later part of the book, it seemed like the author wasn't how to continue the book but had to in order to wrap it up.

The last messages in the book seemed like a run-on letter without any real purpose or expectation of a reply. It kind of left the book in a spot where it could be finished without any real conclusion.

In my advanced reader copy, there was some weird formatting, spelling, unneeded capitalization, and unfinished messages throughout the book. I thought it was due to a convert I made, but the pdf copy I got from the author included it. My copy also didn't included a table of contents, which made it hard to keep track of reading progress, the page numbers were messed up, and felt like I didn't know when it was a good time to stop reading for the night.

Overall, if you are looking for a change in your books and the description of the book sounds interesting to you then give it a try but don't expect a blockbuster book.

I’d be in the library."
