Very LeFreak has a problem: she’s a crazed technology addict. Very can’t get enough of her iPhone, laptop, IMs, text messages, whatever. If there’s any chance the incoming message, call, text, or photo might be from her supersecret online crush, she’s going to answer, no matter what. Nothing is too important: sleep, friends in mid-conversation, class, a meeting with the dean about academic probation. Soon enough, though, this obsession costs Very everything and everyone. Can she learn to block out the noise so she can finally hear her heart?

 

Rachel Cohn makes her Knopf solo debut with this funny, touching, and surely recognizable story about a girl and the technology habit that threatens everything.

 

I bought this book because I have read both Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist and Dash & Lily’s Book of Dares both by David Levithan and Rachel Cohn. I liked them both but I really couldn’t tell whose writing was whose. I have now read a David Levithan book and I am wanting to read this to get a dose of her writing. I am a little nervous because the ratings aren’t that great on Goodreads.
