Technically, You Started It by Lana Wood Johnson

1.0

This was terrible. I think it’s entirely possible for an author to write an engaging novel that is told entirely through text. Johnson is not that author. The text messages are too disjointed to understand what’s happening. I understand that there would have to be some reading between the lines and realizing that the characters will be referring to events and conversations that we as readers haven’t witnessed, but so much was left out that I kept wondering if I’d somehow skipped a page or two. I only got 1/3 of the way through the book before giving up, and at that point I still didn’t have a sense of who the characters were, and I hadn’t been made to care about them.
