YA Contemporary Romance
Title: Texting Tyler
Author - Rebecca Rembish


Date Published: 8/29/12
Synopsis:
 


Christopher Clarke is the nicest guy Amy Fallon has ever met. He is handsome, smart, funny, an all-around great guy. Tyler Clarke is hot. So why is Amy, one of the smartest girls in school, so clueless when it comes to realizing who she is truly falling in love with? Or better yet, who’s falling in love with her.
Amy is forced to spend the week at her grandmother’s house in Arizona. She returns home to New York with a closer bond to her grandmother, with a best friend who she adores and with a boyfriend who she believes is everything she has ever dreamed of. After months of communication with the two new men in her life, things finally seem to be falling in to place for Amy. That is, until she starts to realize whom her heart is truly longing for. When she returns to Arizona almost a year later, things don’t go quite as planned when she is blindsided not only by the death of her grandmother, but learns the truth behind the text messages from Tyler. With time, and a little help from her grandmother’s memory we are able to see if her broken heart can heal and get Amy back on the course she was destined for.

Excerpt:



“I can’t wait.” Amy was genuinely excited.
They walked out to the parking lot and said their goodbyes.
“See ya tomorrow!” Dana shouted to them as they were walking away. 
“Okay!” Amy yelled back. They had just left and she already couldn’t wait to see them 
again the next day.
“They’re cool, right?” Chris asked. 
“Very,” Amy answered right away. 
Chris puffed his chest out. “I knew you’d like them. I could tell they really liked you too.” 
They waited by the car for Tyler, who took his time walking over to join them. He moved 
slowly, clicking the doors open with his key chain. They were all about to get in the car 
when Tyler turned to Chris. 
“Hey man chuck this for me.” Tyler held out the soda cup he was slurping on during the movie.
“Chuck it yourself,” Chris said.
“Then walk home,” Tyler said matter-of-factly.  
“Just give it to me.” Chris huffed as he took the soda cup from his brother and walked 
over to the trashcan. 
Amy and Tyler got in to the car shutting the doors. She heard a click and looked over 
at Tyler who was laughing. “Watch this,” he said to her.
A moment later Chris came back and opened the door to the car. Clunk, it wouldn’t open. 
“Unlock the door,” Chris said through the window. 
Tyler ignored him.
“Open the door,” Chris said impatiently.
Tyler clicked the button back and forth quickly. Chris went to open the door. Clunk,
 it wouldn’t open. 
Amy shifted uncomfortably in her seat. Tyler looked over at her and lifted his eyebrows
 at her as he continued to laugh. 
“Tyler, I swear to God man. Why you doing this?” Chris asked shaking his head. 
Amy felt bad for him. Tyler continued to ignore him and started the car. Amy
 looked out the window at Chris giving him a sympathetic look. Tyler put the car
 in drive and drove forward a few feet. Chris walked forward a few feet and knocked
on the window. 
“Come on man please,” Chris begged. 
Tyler clicked the door and this time Chris was able to get in.
 “You’re such a puss Chris. I shoulda made you walk home.” Tyler laughed at him before
 turning the volume of the music up high so that no one was able to talk the entire ride home. 
Amy felt her phone vibrate in her pocket and she slid the phone out to see a text from Chris.

Review:

What a cute story.  Amy goes to visit her Grandma while her parents go to Paris.  She wasn't really looking forward to going.  Once she is there she meets the neighbors grandson and his friends and they become friends.  I like that her and Chris become friends and even go on a date.  Poor Amy thinks that her and Chris are just friends when he wants a bit more - then Amy is left with Chris cute older brother who is drunk.  He is drunk and kisses her telling her that she is his girlfriend.  She believes him and is surprised he doesn't contact her when she returns right away.  Then he does occasionally but is it Tyler texting her?

I liked the story because it is really what most teenagers would love do, to go some place where no one knows you and make friends.  They don't know what your life is back home. You can be different - no one thinks of you as the smart nerd or the dorky girl who said something dumb in class.   I think this is a great book for teenage girls and anyone else who likes to read about a first love.
