Overview

"In this sequel to her breakout bestseller ""TtyL"" (Talk to You Later), Lauren Myracle follows Maddie, Zoe, and Angela through their next year in high school. All hell is breaking loose. Angela has just found out that her family is moving to Oakland, California, and she seriously doesn't know how she'll survive. Sure, Angela is the perky one who's always helped Zoe and Maddie focus on the positive, but the truth is that without her friends, Angela is utterly lost. As for Maddie, she's once again lured by the glamour of danger, this time in the form of Clive, a pot-smoking hipster who wants to be ""friends with benefits."" Maddie is intoxicated with Clive's approval, so much so that she agrees to go on a pot run with him in downtown Atlanta. Guess what? Not such a good idea. And finally, Zoe. Sweet, good Zoe. At her after-school job at a daycare center, Zoe deepens her friendship with Steve, who works there, too. Zoe charts her own path of first love, complete with the tender, awkward, physical explorations that come with the territory. Will Zoe be the first of her friends to lose her virginity? And how can the Winsome Threesome survive separation?"

Angela, Maddy and Zoe are totally BFF-best friends forever-and tell each other everything in their constant instant-message conversations. Well, maybe not everything. Zoe doesn't tell Angela that she's hooked up with Doug, who's had a crush on Angela for ages. Zoe and Angela won't tell Maddy how worried they are that she's smoking pot to impress a boy. When Angela's family moves to California, she's heartbroken at being taken from everyone she knows. The friends try to stay in touch using IM, but Maddy's obsessed with her new stoner friends and Angela and Zoe are fighting over Doug. As the three resolve their differences, they confront sex, drugs and the miserable difficulties of social life at 16. The well-crafted IM-lingo of the prose is richly saturated with contemporary references (googlewhacking, The OC, the Taliban) which, while they might prevent the novel from aging well, keep it perfectly placed in the moment. A funny and moving take on friendship and adolescence. (Fiction. 12-15) (Kirkus Reviews)
