Episode description

In our second episode, we discuss Lauren Myracle’s popular and controversial YA novel, ttyl. The novel was written entirely in instant messages (circa 2004), and its language and sexual content has made it one of the most banned books of the 2000s. Woo! But underneath all that controversy is an entertaining and innovative story about teen friendship. We talk about the dreaded return of low rise jeans, the differences between texting and IMing, and how to determine whether you are a Maddie, a Zoe, or an Angela.

Trigger Warning: This episode discusses grooming and revenge porn.
