Bookseller recommendation

“ The premise of the book is that a guy named Martin Nathaniel Munroe II (there are two of them, believe it or not!) texts Haley to ask her about a school project, she thinks she is talking to the one she doesn't hate. The entire book is text conversations between Haley and Martin. It is funny, heartwarming and at times you want to yell or counsel both of them as you get so invested in them! I loved the ending and was quite honestly sad when I finished it!”

Summary
About the author

A hilarious, snarky, and utterly addicting #ownvoices debut that explores friendship, sexual orientation, mental health, and falling in love (even if things might be falling apart around you).

When a guy named Martin Nathaniel Munroe II texts you, it should be obvious who you're talking to. Except there's two of them (it's a long story), and Haley thinks she's talking to the one she doesn't hate.A question about a class project rapidly evolves into an all-consuming conversation. Haley finds that Martin is actually willing to listen to her weird facts and unusual obsessions, and Martin feels like Haley is the first person to really see who he is. Haley and Martin might be too awkward to hang out in real life, but over text, they're becoming addicted to each other.There's just one problem: Haley doesn't know who Martin is. And Martin doesn't know that Haley doesn't know. But they better figure it out fast before their meet-cute becomes an epic meet-disaster . . .
