13yr old daughter is obsessed with these books!

My daughter loved this series. She enjoyed the text format throughout the books. They were quick reads but keep her engaged. She even laughed out loud a few times . Which made this bookworm mama heart melt.

I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!! This has been my favorite series for such a long time! Everyone should buy this book because it's so good!

As described

Its a little difficult to read for my daughter.

TBH, THIS MAY BE TMI is the second in a contemporary middle grade series, though it can easily function as a stand-alone. The book is told mainly through text messages, but also through passed notes, diaries, and emails. Prianka, Gabby, and Cece are BFFs and have been for a long time. Middle school is mixing things up, however, with new focuses on boys, social issues (bullying), and planning for the spring fair. They have also been making a point to include the new girl, Victoria, in their activities.What I loved: This book is highly relatable for the middle school audience and great for reluctant readers who will speed through the text messages and text lingo. The problems the girls are facing are likely encountered by many children of this in between age, not quite feeling like they fit in, that their friends are getting into things that they are not sure they like, fear of being away from home at sleepaway camps (they are planning a summer camp), and navigating schoolwork and other friends. Perhaps most interesting in this book is Arjun's story. Arjun moved to their school from a place where he and his family were being bullied in really scary ways. People were calling them Muslim, even though they were Hindu, but regardless the profiling and bullying really escalated. Arjun shares his story through a planned speech, and this can be really helpful for children to learn about and understand the ramifications of.While some of the communications seemed a little awkward, blunt or brief, I think this accurate to the age group portrayed, and middle grade readers will really enjoy reading this and the other books in this series.Final verdict: Great for the middle grade audience, TBH, THIS MAY BE TMI is a fun and fast-paced journey through middle school issues. The unique format makes for an engaging book with broad appeal.Please note that I received an ARC. All opinions are my own.

I earlier wrote a 3 star review but then I realized the book was REALLY easy 4 me and not worth MY money. But then I thought about my friend who is 8 Years old and thought that she would LOVE this book even though I at 12 was not.great book for 6-10 yr olds! Good message and fun plot

I really loved this book because of the text type of writing, it was so cool and also great to read something different for a change, and i am excited to carry on with the series
