annfoster 's review for:
Technically, You Started It
by Lana Wood Johnson
Here's the thing: through some magical alchemy, Lana Wood Johnson is able to fully create an entire world and two fully-formed characters involved in a HEARTBREAKINGLY SWEET romcom situation, entirely through text messages. How??? is that even possible???
It's one of those books where I was powering through the end like, WILL THEY OR WON'T THEY GET TOGETHER, and again: magic, because this tension was created entirely through TEXT. MESSAGES.
I loved the bi/pansexual and demisexual/ace discussions and rep here, too. Somehow reading peoples' texts makes you feel even closer to them and their thoughts than conventional narrative, and showing how Haley and Martin live their everyday lives helped really explain what their orientations were and what that meant for them personally.
SUPER RECOMMEND!!!!
