What a fab bookIf Emmy Favilla ever seeks adoption, give her my number. Not enough panda jokes, but otherwise hahahahaha -- Lynne Truss, author of Eats, Shoots & Leaves
Despite the tone of chirpy self-satire, what follows is a small revolution … Unlike the language scolds of yore, Favilla embraces the new ways, punctuating her writing with emoji, inserting screengrabs of instant messages, using texting shortcuts such as “amirite”? Hers is a rule book with fewer rules than orders to ignore them * Times Literary Supplement *
