About this audiobook
Linda joins her high school's private online forum and gains a following, but someone wants to take it offline.
Linda is shy and avoids getting involved at school. But when her high school sets up online chat rooms she can't resist the urge to visit them. Fuelled by interest in a student with the nickname Cyrano, Linda participates in online conversations using the nickname Roxane and gains a reputation as the queen of one-liners. Soon Linda starts receiving gifts from a secret admirer who signs his gifts, "C." She is certain that her life has taken a turn for the better until "C" reveals his true identity.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5In person, Linda is ordinarily quiet and shy. When her high school gets a school-only chat room, however, Linda is at once excited and scared. She wants to try it, but her friend Janine tells her repeatedly that only weirdos and crazy people use chat rooms. Linda decides to take a username and access the chat room to see what is written there, and one user, who seems like a nice guy, has the username Cyrano. Impulsively, Linda takes the username Roxane and becomes active in the chat room, but when she starts getting gifts and notes from a secret admirer named C., she wonders who Cyrano really is and whether he has feelings for her in real life. This story is fast-moving and easy to read, for teens who have difficulty reading; however, teenagers used to Facebook and Twitter may wonder why the heroine is so frightened of going into a chat room. The part of the plot dealing with the secret admirer makes this story a contemporary, believable take on the Cyrano de Bergerac mythos for teens.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I have to say, i didn't really think i would like this book. The cover didn't look lke something i would enjoy reading, but i was wrong. (Don't judge a book by its cover) It's about chatting on a school website-like msn, but you have a nickname so no one knows who you are, and is basically a love story. It isn't that simple but if you'll like to know more, try reading it. You might find out it's not such a bad book.
