Tenth grade really is just /so/ crazy. Maddie’s facing her driver’s test (and getting used by the Queen Bee), Angela’s going on bad dates (is 2 weeks the paper anniversary?), and Zoe’s discovering religion (while getting groomed by her English teacher). Mary takes Renee through the whirlwind instant message of Lauren Myracle’s ttyl, although the true miracle was finishing the book at all—it’s filled with horribly outdated slurs, bad takes on predatory relationships, and absolutely no character development. But it does have some funny reviews on Goodreads, and it brings back memories of Mary’s good old days catfishing on instant messenger sites.
