the author packs an emotional punch with this one. 

a coming of age story following a chronically online black girl, Stringfield touches on love, friendship, ambition, familial expectations, and more all through the unique style of blog posts, social media posts, and text and email correspondence.

 the chapter about outgrowing friendships hit hard, but it's so fitting for the age of the fmc!

This book was just alright. The romance took a backseat and it felt like a lot of random things were happening that had nothing to do with the main plot.

 This book completely stole my heart. <3
 It follows Sydney Ciara Warren, a college freshman trying to find her voice—offline and online. As she adjusts to life without her best friend and steps into the chaos of campus life, Sydney finds comfort in her blog, her tweets, and eventually... a certain someone online known as YoungPrinceX
But what really makes this story shine is how real it feels. Told through a mix of narrative, blog posts, and social media, it’s fresh, emotional, and deeply relatable. Sydney’s growth, her quiet strength, and her journey toward bridging digital confidence with real-world vulnerability? Beautifully done. 
Ravynn K. Stringfield is officially on my must-read list.

This was a story told in tweets, texts, blog posts and emails. It was a very interesting way to convey a story. I liked the growth that Sidney had through her freshman year in college. I love how she questioned her writing and activist views. Good read if you like YA coming of age.
