ttfn book review
The book 'TTFN', by Lauren Myracle, is a sequel that is written in IM form that gives a perspective of a girls life in high school but also relates to middle school teens. The book is about a group of three best friends, Maddie, Zoey, and Angela, that are very close that hate another group of three friends but is mainly based on the enmity of one girl named Jana that tries to breakup the three best friends, The two other friends of Jana finally realize her crude ways and slowly slip away from her and as there friendship is just about to crack, the two friends have the stupidity to fall back into her lying ways as she convinces them that she is a good person. The Main characters in the book are Maddie, Zoey, Angela, Jana, and Angelas boyfriend, Doug. Angela is a preppy senior in high school that has the popular boyfriend, has many friends, and can get any guy she wants when her and Doug start to have relationship problems. Zoey is a sports fanatic that likes to go out and party but at the same time she keeps her studies up as the senior year flies by and the drama gets bigger. Jana is the girl that is stuck-up, she thinks the whole world revolves around her and she doesn¿t care about the feelings of others until something in her own life goes wrong. Maddie is the non-girly girl, that would rather hang in and watch a movie in sweatpants than go out and party with Angela and Zoey with the boys. Doug is Angelas boyfriend that she loved until he gets caught doing something with Jana which forces them to breakup and causes Angela to be depressed and doesn¿t want to fight back with all the problems with Jana because she is so upset. 'MadMaddie: No matter what Jana does 2 make/break us, it wont ever be as strong as our friendship.' Maddie is always in the middle of the drama so she knows what they can try to do to break Jana, and she influences her two best friends, Zoey and Angela in a positive and negative way. She can sometimes come off as kind of mean, because she always seems to find revenges on Jana and tells Zoey and Angela about it and Angela is the one who has no problem going right out in public even if it does mean embarrassing Jana or herself. She can also come off in a positive way because she tells them how they will always be friends and if it wasn¿t for Maddie, the three best friends would have never made it to the end. I think when Maddie says this, it puts a whole different perspective on how good those three girls have it as a friendship. Maddie always looks on the bright side towards all of the drama, feelings, and hearts that get hurt during this whole book. I do agree with the book in terms of how the best friends didn¿t stop until they got what they wanted. I also didn¿t think there were any serious errors in the book, everything was well explained and it was a book that I didn¿t want to put down because every time I flipped the page I got anxious of what was going to happen next. I liked the way the book was written, in IM form, I found It unusual that the author actually knew that some girls do treat each other badly and 'IMING', is a major part of being a teenager. This book does relate to my life in ways because I have friends that hate other people and we do tend to start fights and drama, but no one ever stops until they are satisfied. Jacqulyne Santullo
