but i can't see how young people who spend all day texting and instant messaging would want to read the instant messages of strangers/characters in their leisure time. So, i am most certainly not the target audience for this book. if i wanted to talk to someone, i would walk over to them and use my mouth (LGM) i did not have a computer in high school, no gaggle of giggle parties in some chat room - in undergrad, i used my computer to write papers and play endless games of apeiron. My reaction to this book is probably a result of my extreme old age. the format of this book sets it apart as "unique", but it doesn't change the fact that these characters are utterly trivial and a book that is only IM's of teenage girls, with no interior monologues or action sequences or descriptive passages is more like a trap than a novel. So, these aren't diaries, but IMs, but the end result is the same. People like virginia woolf or anais nin can have their diaries published because they are either very intelligent and insightful or super sexy. This book is like when you find someone's diary at work (not a co-worker's diary - that would make you a jerk) and you idly flip through it until you remember that most people are fucking boring and their innermost secrets are totally dull and most likely misspelled. Holy f*ck - i h8 this book! *shakes walker and geriatric meds at sky*
