It ...I absolutely loved everything about this book. It was clever and made me look up the Dave Matthews Band. The only thing I didn't like was that it didn't tell what happened to Emma and Josh. It would have been cute to have their Facebook pages in the back to see what happened to them. But I swallowed this book up in an amazing less than 24 hour period. Buy and enjoy:)<br /><a href="http://www.seattlewalimo.net" rel="nofollow">Limo Service</a>grace crawfordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08741536528167580928[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5088300628482028524.post-49990500475586053232012-09-20T13:19:39.774+01:002012-09-20T13:19:39.774+01:00You're completely right about the text issue a...You're completely right about the text issue and the "Good Day" comment! I've never heard someone from Britain to actually say it myself and my cousin lives in Liverpool! LOL. I read the book, too, and I also liked Josh more than I did Emma (I actually found her a little immature and too self-involved)!

Although it is somewhat logical to think that if something existed, that many people would know what it is. I for one did not know what html was until a few months ago. Of course, it may be due to my own ignorance of technology *sigh* But overall, I still think that your review was very thoughtful and had great points c:Grace Lohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14719079692317119729[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5088300628482028524.post-2024446568101372492012-07-13T16:59:27.546+01:002012-07-13T16:59:27.546+01:00I think this might be an enjoyable read. it's ...I think this might be an enjoyable read. it's fun to see a small thing like facebook updates incorporate in the story. i love the idea anyway. great review.miscellaneoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14347920620022031906[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5088300628482028524.post-86006035490804161662012-06-22T11:51:32.640+01:002012-06-22T11:51:32.640+01:00Jaycee: I hadn't thought about imitating Austr...Jaycee: I hadn't thought about imitating Australians... not that I do that much. And again, that's probably a really horrible stereotype for them as well! <br />Thankfully, there were no English characters in the book, just this one mention, but it did end up sticking out for me. Still enjoyed the rest though!Pen to Paperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09491873918497350940[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5088300628482028524.post-44501027968063463962012-06-22T11:17:40.502+01:002012-06-22T11:17:40.502+01:00The only time I've said Good Day is in an Auss...The only time I've said Good Day is in an Aussie accent - well very ishy Aussie accent, but that was more of a G'day, so like you said they got us so wrong in that, I do wish they would research this "English character" more as this kind of nonsense can spoil the whole book for me as I feel the author has let themselves down & how do I know other facts in the book are not incorrect.Jayceehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14812005762727938995[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5088300628482028524.post-73397757449533093052012-06-22T10:25:57.373+01:002012-06-22T10:25:57.373+01:00Thank you hun, it sounds like a good book!

I just thought I'd research cell phones in 1996 and see what they were like, to see if text messaging was around then, which it apparently was. I shall take that back then :P<br />But GAH, the Good day thing <i>really</i> irritated me - to the point where, even though it was quite a small thing, I still remembered it when I finished the book, and came to write my review notes :P <br /><br />Jen: You can have my copy next time I see you :) xxPen to Paperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09491873918497350940[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5088300628482028524.post-5547157135199381362012-06-22T00:09:08.504+01:002012-06-22T00:09:08.504+01:00Great review Dani!!

I'm glad you enjoyed the book as I saw a video you did when you were a bit into it.caroline.taylor078http://www.blogger.com/profile/13354715443772243466[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5088300628482028524.post-14550489571066936342012-06-21T16:41:01.032+01:002012-06-21T16:41:01.032+01:00I almost bought this book at the bookstore yesterd...I almost bought this book at the bookstore yesterday, and now I kinda wish I did!
