A sweet little romance and done a little differently from the usual boy meets girl offerings around. Abby is a best selling author suffering from writers block. Her publicist, anxious to keep Abby in the public eye, sets up a twitter account. Abby is curious of the concept – and her first tentative tweet is quickly answered by Mark Baynard. Mark is an English professor travelling the world on a sabbatical, and he guides her through the mysterious world of twitter – tweets, retweets, direct messages, hash tags and the rest. Gradually Abby starts to break down her blocks and her daily flirtatious exchanges with Mark become a relationship, amazing seeing as they both keep back crucial truths from each other. Eventually all the barriers come down and the biggest secret is revealed. Although GOODNIGHT TWEETHEART is a fluffy romance and quite funny in parts – there is a dark side, a very dark side which comes at the end. For me the ending let the book down, it was confusing and I felt like there should have been more of the story to come and was left hanging. It was an ending that wasn’t. GOODNIGHT TWEETHEART was a very fast read; I put this down to the fact that the vast majority of the book was written in tweets, which are messages of less than 140 characters – so short and snappy. If you are not comfortable with twitter then the book could be a bit hard to follow. But the two characters joke about their dismal love lives and their exes and exchange information and gradually a picture is built up of the two of them.
