Questo libro è super cute e super nerd, con personaggi adorabili anche se difficili da "capire" visto com'è strutturato il libro stesso: solo messaggi tra i due protagonisti.
è una storia molto semplice ma complessa allo stesso tempo perché ti devi destreggiare nel capire (almeno all'inizio) su cosa succede a loro al di fuori del telefono.
Puoi vieni rapito quando "capisci" (anche se super telefonata come cosa) del plot twist che arriva da metà libro in poi e il finale è dolcissimo.

This was cute and I loved the format but I had a hard time following the events that happened outside of the text conversations.
From the first sentence, you’ll be caught up in this cute story of mixed signals and mistaken identity. Through shared classes at school, Haley knows not one but two boys named Martin Nathaniel Munroe II, but that doesn’t mean she actually speaks to either of them. What starts as an innocuous text message turns into a complex friendship with one of the Martins, full of late-night chats and the revelation of their deepest secrets. But which Martin? The one she can’t stand or the one who’s... tolerable? Haley thinks she knows, but is she right? The dialogue between Haley and Martin - entirely in text messages - is witty, often awkward, sometimes snarky, and beautifully captures all the complexities of moving past friendship to something more.
here are some thoughts :
ー it would have been better if i did not know she was speaking with the wrong guy from the start. figuring it out by myself would have made this way more fun
ー i've seen some people complain because it's not how teenagers talk/text but that's exactly how i text/texted so i'm GLAD the author wrote this way. it's way better to have the characters talk like adults instead of them using the cliché stuff we see in tv shows. (& i think i would have stopped reading if there was too much slang) + the way they text really suits the characters : they both love english so i think it's normal they're paying attention to the way they write. maybe a few lol or ahah could have been added here and there to make it a little bit less formal sometimes, but overall i was not bothered at all
ー same goes with emojis and gifs : i don't use them either. though the way she said she does not like them sounded arrogant like 'i'm better than using pictures' chill girl, just say you prefer typing what you mean
ー she said "weird" over 50 times and IF SHE SAYS IT ONE MORE TIME I SWEAR-
ー it was great that the hate she has for him at the beginning was not that deep-rooted and turned out it was kind of by default because of her bff hates him and because she does not really know him that well + it's nice that her 'hate' for him wasn't academics related
ー yes, i fangirled a few times
ー i enjoyed this book, but reading texts ends up being a little too boring for me, it would have been cool to have some graphic-novel-type-of-breaks maybe??
ー i've also seen people say she's constantly flexing with her niche fan facts but i actually think she's just not used to have someone to talk about the things she likes/she's interesting in since her friends don't seem to have the same interests as her so she's just really happy to have found someone who's asking her questions for once (like at some point she tells him their relationship is what she thought friendship should be like so it literally shows she can't speak of all this stuff with her friends). i know that when i *finally* find someone who has the same interest as i do, i can't shut up so same girl ahah
ー who forces their friends/child's friends to go to church? especially if they're not religious. & i understand it was probably to create drama, but why would the parents ask them to give them their phones? they're 16/17 years old, i'm sure they were old enough to understand they should not use them
ー there is really nothing wrong with disliking what other people like, but the way she was justifying herself… it was very 'i'm not like other girls' of her, which was tiring in the end
ー i know they're in hs but her friends are really annoying and childish (especially considering the fact that they're 16/17). chloe and haley's bff bonded over the fact that they have the same ex and suddenly decided to make it a mission for them to warn the potential next girl this guy is going to go out with? they're not being nice or thoughtful, they're just petty they go ditched lol
ー i love it every time they ask each other if everything is ok at home!!
ー now i want to go smell bookstores too
ー the ending was a little too abrupt for me, but heh good for them
ー also thank you for teaching me about demisexuality

I really enjoyed this book. I liked how it was set up with just text messages. It would have been interesting to have like chapters from their point of view to see what they thought not over text. At least Martin who knew that he liked her and was “hanging out” with Hayley when he knew she thought he was the cousin. I really appreciated how she kept calling him a clown because I love calling people clowns. A great debut overall!
i mean....the entire premise is stupid but it was quick and not awful? idk i just don’t get how someone could be so oblivious to who she was talking to for MONTHS?? like come on now, you’re gonna figure it out especially if you’re just like so super smart (like the book liked to keep reminding you
Another interesting one, fun follow along as a reader I got the difference pretty fast, but hate that it took too long for her to figure it out.
This was cute. It was written entirely in text message though and I can't help feeling like it could have been a better book if it wasn't. Basically it's about a girl who gets a text from one of her classmates who has the same name as another classmate and she mistakes one for the other and they proceed to text all summer while she thinks she's texting someone else. It was fluff, but nice fluff. I liked it pretty well.
I think 2019 Katie would have appreciated this more than 2022 Katie... Also how is Haley so unaware she doesn't know the nicknames of people she's gone to school with her entire life? Being able to not realize who someone is for an entire summer is quite impressive, honestly.
