Love and Miss Communication (35 page)

“Funny, fast paced, charming, and totally relatable. Friedland gives us a brilliant love story and reminds us it’s nice to pick up a smart book instead of a smartphone for a change.”

—Jennifer Belle, bestselling author of
High Maintenance
and
The Seven Year Bitch

“A delicious and timely novel. Friedland takes a look at how our addiction to social media brings us together while keeping us apart.”

—Molly Jong-Fast, author of
The Social Climber’s Handbook

“Wholly irresistible—smart and poignant and laugh-out-loud funny.”

—Sara Houghteling, author of
Pictures at an Exhibition

“An extremely fun reminder that we can all survive without emoticons. #greatread!”

—Erin Duffy, author of
On the Rocks
and
Bond Girl

“A witty, wonderful, and thoroughly modern love story. Friedland’s writing is sharp and funny, tender and true. I couldn’t put it down.”

—Cristina Alger, author of
The Darlings

“Part modern girl-power moxie manual and part cleverly twisted old-fashioned love story, Elyssa Friedland’s sublime debut was a delight to devour.”

—Jill Kargman, author of
The Rockstar in Seat 3A

“
Love and Miss Communication
is a funny and fresh take on working and dating in the age of social media. Readers will root for the flawed but lovable Evie Rosen as she fights to separate who she is from how she appears online. By giving up the Internet, Evie gains something much richer—the ability to experience life as it unfolds, rather than through the filter of status updates and staged photos. We can all learn from Evie in this regard, even as we laugh at her many missteps in her quest for career and relationship happiness.”
