This was a book that I could not put down. It was very good and intriguing. Sex, drugs, and alcohol are huge issues in this book (which are main topics), and like in all of the other Internet Girls books, there is also language. I am a computer addict who lives IMing, so this book was very enjoyable to me.

What Parents Need to Know
About l8r, g8r
Parents need to know that it's POS time with this one (that's "parent over shoulder"). There's more sex and bad behavior on display than in the others in the instant message-heavy series. One main character loses her virginity, while the other two also have romantic, physical relationships with boyfriends. Teens drink heavily and throw up, participating in drinking games, and there are references to using drugs and abusing prescription drugs. Mean-spirited pranks include posting a faux ad for sex. A stepmom has an affair. An aunt has a party with a sex toy theme.

personal opinions x]
although this book isn't the best book to read because of sex, alcohol && some drug references, i think that it is still a good over all book. x] i think you should read the book first && then write a review stating if you like it or not because you just can't judge a book by it's cover. all together i enjoyed this book && the series && i hope you all will too. :]
