This book is innovative and witty. Since it's told mostly through email and texts, it often felt like I was reading a playlist script, which I definitely enjoyed. There were so many details that you don't think won't be brought back up again until they are, and it makes everything click in interesting ways. My only complaint was that it felt like the pacing started to drag by the end of the book, and that I wish characters had different typing styles to match their personalities and to help differentiate them as I was reading.
