When a guy named Martin Nathaniel Munroe II texts you, it should be obvious who you're talking to. Except there's two of them (it's a long story), and Haley thinks she's talking to the one she doesn't hate.A question about a class project rapidly evolves into an all-consuming conversation. Haley finds that Martin is actually willing to listen to her weird facts and unusual obsessions, and Martin feels like Haley is the first person to really see who he is. Haley and Martin might be too awkward to hang out in real life, but over text, they're becoming addicted to each other.There's just one problem: Haley doesn't know who Martin is. And Martin doesn't know that Haley doesn't know. But they better figure it out fast before their meet-cute becomes an epic meet-disaster . . .

Kick off the convo with a theory, question, musing, or update
This was terrible. I think it’s entirely possible for an author to write an engaging novel that is told entirely through text. Johnson is not that author. The text messages are too disjointed to understand what’s happening. I understand that there would have to be some reading between the lines and realizing that the characters will be referring to events and conversations that we as readers haven’t witnessed, but so much was left out that I kept wondering if I’d somehow skipped a page or two. I only got 1/3 of the way through the book before giving up, and at that point I still didn’t have a sense of who the characters were, and I hadn’t been made to care about them.
