This book is exactly what you think it is: a laugh-out-loud romance told through texts.
***
Tara is the new girl in town, and she's got junior year all figured out: lay low, stay out of trouble, don't trust anyone. She's prepared for everything.

meghna, can I ask you something?
something's up, I can tell
and of course you can is that even a question
do you think people always mean what they say?
that depends on what was said and what the situation was.
people say things they don't mean all the time, T
it's the intention that counts
okay, so imagine we're having a big fight
okay
and it's going pretty bad
okay...
I end up saying some things I don't mean, and so do you
and?
I say something on the lines of "I never want to hear from you again"
but obviously, it's not to be taken seriously
why would you say that if you didn't mean it?
NOT HELPING, M
so I say that and you take it literally
you stop talking to me and I don't know what to say
right
what should I do?
I mean it'll be so weird if I text him first because I was the one who said all that and lost my shot at a good, meaningful conversation while it was staring me in the face
I didn't even let him explain
Him?
Oh, so this is not a hypothetical situation?
This actually happened, didn't it
On Friday, yeah
it's been so hard not to text him ever since we had that argument and I kinda ended things
has he tried to reach out?
No.
Have you tried?
No.
ugh this sucks so much
maybe I should just forget he existed and move on with my life
forgetting it ever happened won't make it right
you have to text him, Tara
No matter how dumb you may look, you should tell him how you feel. You deserve answers, and he deserves to be heard
There's no telling if things will ever be the same again, but if you want something you need to stop moping around and work for it
what if he doesn't have an explanation? What if talking to him makes everything worse than it already is?
I feel bad about what I said, but that doesn't mean I forgive him
why don't you try telling him that instead
it might help you more than ranting to me will
oh, M. What would I ever be without you?
a walking disaster, for sure
for sure.
