Technically, You Started It

Technically, You Started It by Lana Wood Johnson     340 pages

I grew to like this book very much.   It is sort of like penfriends only texting friends, however, when Haley receives the texts she is not entirely sure which of two people the texts are from.   She thinks she knows but does she?    They grow to share so many things in each of their lives and become very close though they never talk in person nor greet each other when in the same place.   Is it really who they think it is?    The longer it goes the deeper their sharing and how hard it is to be so intimate through their words revealing many things no one else knows about each other, yet, why when going to the same school, attending the same parties is there never a time to at least acknowledge each other?   Why is it everytime one of them mentions meeting the other has some calamity arise and they miss each other or just don't seem to hook up.   Life is a mystery and mysteries can often feel better than the big reveal or is that just the shyness talking when both seem to want to be together?   Good book, it takes you from the link of mutual friends to quizzical potential friendship to a multitude of opportunities for more.   Can they reach out and be there for one another or are they going to let each go to the social norm?     Good book.    Fun read.    The humor is very sparkling.   I would recommmend this one to middle schoolers on up.
