Read Bottom Up

This book was interesting and completely different than anything I've read before. It was written completely in email and text messages. Madeline and Elliot meet each other and you get an inside look into their personal conversations. It's basically showing a love story in the digital age.
The coolest thing about this was that the two authors wrote it by actually composing these email messages to each other. Madeline and Elliot also had two friends who got to weigh in their thoughts on the relationship. Madeline would forward messages to her friend Emily asking for advice, and Elliot would do the same to David. The authors didn't know what was written between each others "best friends".
This was fine.... nothing mind blowing. It did make me want to roll my eyes a few times. Jealously, stupidity, immaturity.... all that. (If he's not making any time for you and takes 14 hours to respond two words... move on!!) However, I can guarantee if anyone on the outside read the personal convos of a young couple they would make you want to puke at times because of how annoying they are! There were also sweet, charming, and funny parts. This is probably one of the more realistic, authentic "love stories" one could create on paper in today's world.

What an interesting concept on how to write a book. Unfortunately I’m not a fan of eye-rolling scenes 😉
