    About this ebook

    Carter Coben is having some serious communication problems lately. First he mouthed off to a project manager at work and got fired, now his girlfriend's dumped him and trashed his cell phone. About the only place he hasn't got his wires crossed these days is at the anonymous texting app, Justchat.com. Carter thinks he might have found a real connection with “She Hearts Dogs,” but little does he know he's already quite acquainted with this cunning canine-lover . . .

    When Abigail Jeffries gets a random text message from a stranger saying he's been dumped, she can't help but answer it—and recommend he send his ex some flowers from her new shop. When she delivers the bouquet though, she finds out his ex was cheating on him with his best friend—the same best friend she's impersonating via text! Abby feels guilty, but she can't help responding. But what will happen when Carter finds out that Abby is not only the face behind the texts, but the reason he got fired at work and his mysterious mutt-loving pal on Justchat.com?

    Will they ever manage to sort out their mixed signals, mistaken identities, and misunderstandings to find real love? This madcap, modern-day You've Got Mail for the texting generation will delight romantic comedy fans.

      Another winner from Shelly K. Wall.

      Text Me, a contemporary romantic comedy, plays with our pseudo-anonymous culture of apps, texts, and virtual chats. Carter Cobin nurses a breakup, meets the month-long object of his desire ("Running Girl"), bonds with a woman he met in a chat room and wonders why his best friend is acting so strange - avoiding him in person and sending cryptic texts. Florist Abby Jeffries bonds with a man she meets in a chat room, wonders why anyone would want to dump the nice man who is walking her grumpy neighbor's dog, and tries to find out who is sending her random texts.

      The blurb calls this book an update on "You've Got Mail," but I saw a lot of elements of my Shakespeare play, "As You Like it." I laughed my way through this book as the characters tried to sort through myriad layers of identity. Both hero and heroine have strong character arcs and I sincerely hope the secondary characters receive their own book. This breezy fun book is perfect for a sunny afternoon.

      I received a complementary copy from the author in exchange for an honest review.

      I loved this whole series. I liked how the whole series takes place in the same time frame just different stories in that time frame. If I have to pick need me was the best just because she wrote a back story for them.
