Friendship in the group chat

Cecily, Gabby, and Prianka have been close since preschool, but their familiar trio is tested when they leave new classmate Victoria out. A hurtful text sent to Victoria by mistake brings the sixth grade’s bullying into the open and leads to the friends losing access to their phones. Alongside school events such as the Valentine’s Day dance and a first boy-girl party, the story examines exclusion, accountability, and what friendship means beyond a screen. Told entirely through text messages, it places the characters’ social lives and misunderstandings in the format where much of their communication happens.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Middle-grade readers interested in friendship and social dynamics at school.
  • Readers who enjoy stories about group chats, texting, and digital communication.
  • Readers looking for a sixth-grade story that addresses exclusion and bullying.

Book overview

Told entirely in text messages, this addictive new series from the acclaimed author of My Life in Pink & Green is perfect for fans of Lauren Myracle and Wendy Mass.

 

To be honest, middle school is rough! Cecily, Gabby, and Prianka have been BFFAE since pre-K, so it's totally natural when they don't include the new girl, Victoria, in their plans and group texts.

Between organizing the school Valentine's Day dance, prepping for their first boy-girl party, and trying to keep their texts so boring their moms won't use spy apps to read them, the friends only have time for each other.

But when Victoria is accidentally sent a hurtful text message, the entire sixth grade gets called out for bullying, cell phones are confiscated, and the trio known as CPG4Eva is forced to figure out just how strong their friendships are IRL.
