Publisher's summary
The text message was clearly meant for her brother, Patrick. There was no way Adam Norcross intended to text Emily Waters - his best friend’s sister, his arch-enemy, his nemesis.... Okay, maybe that’s going too far, but Adam never liked Emily, a fact made perfectly clear on the day of Patrick’s funeral.
Emily has a plan for her future. It’s simple - get out of her small hometown and never look back. It’s the only way she knows to escape the onslaught of memories that seem to pop up everywhere she goes. Adam’s plan is a little different - wallow in self-pity, anger, and frustration until he explodes in a sensational display of emotional overload. It’s the only way he knows to cope with his guilt over his best friend’s death.
On the first day of senior year, Emily receives a mysterious text message. At first, she assumes it’s a mistake, but soon, she realizes it was meat for her deceased brother. When the identity of the sender is revealed, the adventure that follows sends Emily into a tailspin she won’t see coming. When the smoke clears, all she is left with are the broken pieces of her life and one echoing question...can you ever really go back home?

Story
It’s natural to want the one you can’t have. And for as long as I could remember, I’d secretly wanted my brother’s best friend, Jace. He was six years older and always treated me like the sister he never had. Fast forward a decade. We were all in our 20s now. Jace had moved in with my brother, Nathan, and me to help us make ends meet after our parents died. It was just the three of us - an odd family dynamic. Living under our roof, Jace was as bossy and protective as ever. But he certainly didn’t look at me like a sister anymore. That was what made things so complicated.

It’s all fine until the morning that A wakes up in the body of Justin and meets Justin’s girlfriend, Rhiannon. From that moment, the rules by which A has been living no longer apply....

Now the Texas star player with a bad temper has a new option: Seattle’s EOL College—as in End of the Line, to his fellow misfit recruits. It’s Logan’s last chance. If he can follow the rules.

The beginning of my sophomore year in college was off to a rough start. On the first day of orientation, I had an altercation with an infuriating British dude in a campus bathroom. (The ladies’ room was out of order. So, I used the men’s room. Don’t judge.) I got home later that night and realized that the foreign student we were expecting to rent a room in my parents’ house was allergic to our cat. So, the spare room went to someone else: Caleb - the British guy from the men’s room. And so it began...my love-hate story with Caleb Yates. Or was it hate-love in that order?

Shay Gable hated my guts, and I hated hers, too. We went out of our way to avoid one another at all times. When she came in my direction, I went the other. When we locked eyes, she’d turn and walk away. All of that changed the day I was presented with a challenge. It started out as a stupid bet: make Shay fall in love with me before I fell in love with her first. That was an easy bet for me to win. I didn’t love. I hardly liked. Yet slowly the game started to shift. Shay made me crave things I never knew I wanted.

"Does that mean you don't have a boyfriend?" I narrowed my eyes at him but he still figured out the truth. He gazed at me for a moment then asked, "Have you ever had a boyfriend?" I blushed again. Even deeper than before. My lack of response answered the question for me. I think this was the reaction Seth was hoping for since he leaned in really close. I instinctively tried to back away from him but seeing as how I was lying in bed, and he was blocking my escape, the only thing I could do was sink down into my pillow.

Sixteen-year-old Tessa Johnson has never felt like the protagonist in her own life. She’s rarely seen herself reflected in the pages of the romance novels she loves. The only place she’s a true leading lady is in the swoony love stories she shares only with Caroline, her best friend. When Tessa is accepted into the creative writing program of a prestigious art school, she’s excited to finally let her stories shine. But when she goes to her first workshop, the words are just...gone. Caroline has a solution: Tessa needs to find some inspiration in a real-life love story of her own.

Story
After leaving the city life behind to escape my loveless marriage, I moved to small-town Havenbarrow for a fresh start. What I didn’t expect was to find myself drawn to the town’s black sheep. They called him troubled, cold, a man with a dark past. What everyone seemed to miss about Jax was the splashes of light in his eyes, the random acts of kindness he performed when no one was watching, and the way he made me smile and laugh.

Charming!
The Text Message is a YA, angsty story that deals with heartbreak and pain, but hope and love, as well. Emily Waters is living a nightmare ever since her brother Patrick was murdered in a holdup gone bad. There are no suspects and it tears at the fabric of her family and Patrick's best friend, Adam Norcross. Adam and Emily have been what might be called enemies after Adam blamed Emily for Patrick's death. If she hadn't forgotten to put gas in the car, they never would have been at the filling station where Patrick died, and it was those accusations that caused her to hate him. Soon after the funeral, Emily started getting text messages on Patrick's phone from "unknown," but she quickly realized that it was Adam texting his feelings and fears. She had a conundrum...should she tell Adam that he was actually texting her, or did she let it go because it seemed he really needed to vent his feelings. As they texted, they helped each other cope, but what would happen when Adam realized who was receiving his messages. As they get closer, they more than lean on each other for support, but feelings come alive and soon they are dating. That's when Mason comes along and shows interest in her, but he has a reputation as a love 'em and leave 'em type and Emily doesn't want to get caught up in that. She can't help but catch some feelings for him, too, even if she's not sure what they are. This is a story that I doubted could have a happy ending, with the "love triangle" that formed and how Emily and Adam grew apart, but I had faith that the author would make everything all right. She did better than that, she ended the story exactly how it should be.
Amanda Soha does an excellent job with the narration. Her dynamic voice moved at a good pace, using pitch and intonation to bring the characters to life.

Not my favorite
I did like the premise of the story though I do wish we got more of the couple together. It was a difficult and emotional listen though the narrator did do a good job with it and I liked the small link to the first of the series which we hadn't seen any before this as they are all complete stand alone stories.

Emotional Coming of Age Clean High School Read
Parents- PG- good for middle school to adults
Language- PG- none
Violence- PG- nothing too graphic
Sexual Content- PG Kissing, teen romance, stays clean no bedroom scenes
Such an emotional journey, it was really a fantastic read! This story has so much to offer with the emotional rollercoaster, interesting love triangle, friendship struggles, and so much more. It starts in pretty intense emotional terrain with a girl entering her senior year in high school after loosing her twin brother to a gas station hold up gone wrong and no suspect in prison. You see the family, friends and Emily all struggling to move on and deal with this tragedy. The new school year comes with confusing new relationships and a text message that throws another kink in the mess that Emily is trying to deal with. Really lovely to see the relationships and love of the family, friends and small town community that is so supportive.
Narrator- did a great job with the differentiations between the characters and was simply fun to listen to. There are some sound editing issues that should be fixed (several areas where repeated lines should be cleaned up). I did prefer listening at 1.25x speed.
