    About this audiobook

    When a guy named Martin Nathaniel Munroe II texts you, it should be obvious who you're talking to. Except there's two of them (it's a long story), and Haley thinks she's talking to the one she doesn't hate.
    A question about a class project rapidly evolves into an all-consuming conversation. Haley finds that Martin is actually willing to listen to her weird facts and unusual obsessions, and Martin feels like Haley is the first person to really see who he is. Haley and Martin might be too awkward to hang out in real life, but over text, they're becoming addicted to each other.
    There's just one problem: Haley doesn't know who Martin is. And Martin doesn't know that Haley doesn't know. But they better figure it out fast before their meet-cute becomes an epic meet-disaster.

      Absolutely loved the narrators for this book, they totally complemented the book and the snarkiness in the story!! So glad this was available:)

      This was such a cute and silly contemporary with mistaken identity and enemies-to-lovers tropes. The mistaken identity is farfetched but oh so cute, and while it’s told through text messages, that translates surprisingly well in the audiobook format.

      Wonderful! I absolutely loved this book. Highlights:
      Easy read
      Clean (no sex or language)
      Funny
      Solid, lovable characters
      Good takeaway
      I’ve gotten to an age where I struggle with a lot of YA books, but this was really enjoyable. There were zero areas that I zoned out (despite my constant multitasking), or cringed at the obnoxiousness or stereotype of the characters. I’ll be looking for more books by this author for sure!

      Short and very cute. To me the narrator's voices sounded a little old for the characters they were meant to be playing but the book was so entertaining it didn't matter that much. Perfect rainy day read.

      Well, this was a fun book! I didn’t really expect to enjoy this as much as I did, but yeah! Told completely through texts, this story is quite cute and adorable. The only reason I am not giving it that one more star is because the end was HELLA CONFUSING. I am still not sure if I really understood all that happened, but meh! It was still cute. The voice actors - all of them - did a great job.

      Listened for hours before they say one of the main characters is bi and start talking about "cisgender" etc. Get out of here.

      Fun read. Hanna is a bit dense, but their personalities shine.

      Being a teenager in today's society can be hard, there's so much judgement and pressure to fit in. This story follows Hailey and M's conversations through their texts between one another. They take us through their struggles as they learn about friendship, love, and accepting themselves. Overall, the storyline was a lighthearted, classic , YA highschool romance that touches on some real teenage issues including sexuality and anxiety without becoming too serious . It's uniquley written in texts to appeal more so to the younger generation, therfore the book isn't for everyone. With so many YA romance novels they can all sound the same I appreciate the authors approach to make this different, I think it would make a great easy read for anyone who likes text format stories, however not being a big texter myself, it just wasn't for me which is why I'm only giving the book 3 stars.

      I love the story but as an audiobook some of the ughs and um and whats were annoying. Otherwise, I did really enjoy it.

      This was so cute and I loved it! It's written in text messages that main characters send to one another. The only thing I didn't like were the narrator's voices. Main characters here are in high school, but the narrators are definitely older, so it felt odd. But the story is unique and I really enjoyed it.

      I'm surprised that a story can be told solely in text messages, but it's possible and this novel is super cute and funny and queer!

      OK, this was super sweet and fun and adorable and all those other adjectives that correlate to the cutest YA rom-com I've read in a long time!

      I really enjoyed this book, the wrong text to the wrong person, started a relationship between 2 people.
