And I've only read 2! Yeah, Sadie's mom is something else but she is well written and it added to the story. As a mom, I get irritated sometimes at how moms/parents are depicted. But in this case, it added another layer.<br /><br /><br />Yes, teens and their text speak. Thank goodness my kids don't do that. In fact, my girls (they're the only ones with phones) actually write out everything in complete sentences. :) Just like their mom. *ha* I don't think it makes us sound 'old'...cultured, maybe?!? *haha*Bookworm Brandeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125233179936753205.post-65980547839793889442015-02-27T07:50:58.980-07:002015-02-27T07:50:58.980-07:00LOL Y'all are making me feel so much better! ;...LOL Y'all are making me feel so much better! ;) I hope you give her a shot, Silvia.

It just needs to feel authentic, right? And us having teens, we know how they speak.

Dialogue included and certain nuances. I look for it in historical novels and I'm sure I would've noticed the too formal language in this one too. We have teens, lord knows they need to expand their vocabulary and talk more proper. <br /><br /><br />Still it's great that you still loved this.

I lmao about the contractions - kids not only use contractions.... We're lucky if they use real words anymore. I may write OMG but when speaking I say "Oh My God" - not the kids. They say OMG and LOL and stuff. Drives me bonkers. Wow, I sound old, huh?<br /><br />Anyway, sounds really good and ill have to add it to my list. Too bad the moms a typical bad element, but at least she's well written, right?

I'm not sure of weather delays at our airport.
