This one was pretty good. The narrator, Jake, has a blow out fight with his best friend (and college roommate) during which he says something so terrible he can't take it back. Jake decides that talking leads to trouble and decides to only communicate through written notes. The book is made up of his notes, scribbled on notebook paper, dry erase boards, and greasy napkins. Jake has big crush on his friend Xandra, but can't bring himself to tell her about it in case it ruins their friendship. Eventually he has to come to terms with the fact that the things you don't say can cause as much trouble as the things you do. I really felt for Jake because it's a situation lots of young people get in to eventually, and his bewilderment seemed very genuine.
