This was an amazing book about 3 high school friends (Zoe, Maddie, and Angela). This book is all in the form of instant messages between the three friends. Here is the summary for the inside of the book: "On the first day of tenth grade, best friends Maddie (mad maddie), Angel (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 of emergencies, and Queen Bee encounters. Then a jerky boy sends peppy Angela into her 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 whole year?

Told entirely in instant messages, this smart, funny novel by Lauren Myracle, author of Kissing Kate, is about the humor, hangovers, and heartaches of high school, and the friendships that get your through it all.
