So funny! I can only think of one or two other books that made me laugh out loud as much as this one did. I love that it was just the texts, one or two per page and easy to read with no filler. That made it easy to breeze through whenever I had time and needed a laugh.
When I first got it, I had a neighbor borrow and finish it within a few hours because it was so hard to put down and as soon as I finished it, I passed it on to my family. Definitely a great book to share and just be glad you're not one of the people in it.

An entertaining read for anybody who has ever sent or received a text.
In this incredible and wonderful period of Smartphones, it is all very likely that humanity will look back on this time as the remarkable invention of the iPhone and the power and ability that was unleashed with this invention. And with this marvelous invention there was texting; and with this fantastic ability to text, there was . . . autocorrect. For those who aren’t in possession of an iPhone, or may not be familiar with it, one “perk” of the texting application is the autocorrect feature that facilitates one’s typing using the touch screen to automatically complete words and make (supposedly) it much quicker and easier to text.
Of course, the adage: “With great power, comes great responsibility” is powerfully true in this case, as this feature has led to innumerable errors, faux pas, and hilarious results that have now become infamous on the internets, dutifully and thankfully collected at the brilliant autocorrect website, Damn You Autocorrect. And now the cream of the crop of entertaining autocorrects are collected in this perfect book to just have hanging around anywhere in the house or at work, or just about anywhere in the world, Damn You, Autocorrect! And here are some highlights from this must have book:
Texter #1: “I just fell off the chair at work.”
Texter #2: “Are you OK?”
Texter #1: “Yes. I think I scared my coriander.”
Texter #2: “Huh???”
Texter #1: “Co-workers.”
Texter #1: “I just had a great dump. I MEAN HUMP1 AHHHHHHH Frick I mean lube. LUNCH. I MEANT LUNCH.”
Texter #2: “Well, whatever it is, I hope it was good . . .”
Texter #1: “I wish we were moving tomorrow.”
Texter #2: “Not long.”
Texter #1: “I know I just need to stay busy.”
Texter #2: “You can always work on the stiff in the garage.”
Texter #1: “The stiff huh. Sounds kind of morbid.”
Texter #1: “Traffic crap – new eta is 430.”
Texter #2: “Almighty. Altitude. Danger. Blast! What I mean is, alrighty.”
Texter #1: “Ha that’s awesome. I thought you were having a mini melt down! :) We are 15 min out.”
Texter #1: “My neck hurts so bad. I slut wrong. Sleep. Jeez.”
Texter #2: “No u slut right. Trust me.”
Texter #1: “Shut up.”

These are hilarious! Had me laughing uncontrollably!
SHABAKA! I haven't laughed that much in I don't remember how long and there were parts that nearly drove me to tears (from laughing too hard). I really needed something like that - a light, non-complicated read that would keep me entertained. And it's only the third book this year to get the whooping 5 stars. Maybe it's no literary masterpiece but anything that is so ducking hilarious deserves a high rating. It's probably one of the few books that I'm inclined to go back to because there are such gems inside that I feel I should get reminded of them every now and then.
This was a hilarious short read. I actually got tears in my eyes from laughing so much. There are awkward embarrassing texts to and from parents, mortifying autocorrects from co-workers, good natured ribbing from friends, and who knew cooking and food texts could be so funny?
Since this book is a compilation of messages from different sources, I also enjoyed the differences in humor and relationships in each message. There are texts where you can see that the relationship between the two people having the conversation is really good and they make jokes out of the autocorrect fails, there are texts where the people don't get each other's humor, there are the serious replies, the lame replies, the awkward, and so on. It was like observing different relationships put in a humorous situation at play.
This is a recommended quick read guaranteed to lift your mood.
