A love story for the technological age, GOODNIGHT TWEETHEART by Teresa Medeiros tells the tale of Abby and Mark. Abby is a novelist suffering through a major case of writer's block and Mark is a teacher on sabbatical that is traveling the world. One unexpected night their paths cross on Twitter, a social network website that only lets you communicate 140 characters at a time.

Almost instantly a connection is formed between the pair and their relationship moves from random encounters to pre-arranged tweet-dates. Both are fluent in pop culture and wit and seem like an ideal match, so their relationship flourishes within the confines of the website.

But things aren't always what they seem, as Abby is about to find out, and soon they are both going to have to decide how much they're willing to give to one another and just how far they're willing to go.

With GOODNIGHT TWEETHEART, Teresa Medeiros has offered up a very clever love story that speaks loudly and clearly to the fast paced digital age we're living in. At first I had my doubts that the tweet style of writing would be able to capture my attention, but it did. However, I still wonder about the long term relevance of the novel, considering that in a few years twitter could very well be a thing of the past. That said, GOODNIGHT TWEETHEART is a touching story about the intense and unexplainable bond that two people can form without ever having seen each other's faces.

Book Summary

New York Times bestselling author Teresa Medeiros absolutely dazzles in this quick-witted, laugh-out-loud funny, and highly moving love story that will set readers’ hearts atwitter.

Abigail Donovan has a lot of stuff she should be doing. Namely writing her next novel. A bestselling author who is still recovering from a near Pulitzer Prize win and the heady success that follows Oprah’s stamp of approval, she is stuck at Chapter Five and losing confidence daily. But when her publicist signs her up for a Twitter account, she’s intrigued. What’s all the fuss?

Taken under the wing of one of her Twitter followers, “MarkBaynard"—a quick witted, quick-typing professor on sabbatical—Abby finds it easy to put words out into the world 140 characters at a time. And once she gets a handle on tweets, retweets, direct messages, hashtags, and trends, she starts to feel unblocked in writing and in life. After all, why should she be spending hours in her apartment staring at her TweetDeck and fretting about her stalled career when Mark is out there traveling the world and living?

Or is he?

Told almost entirely in tweets and DMs, Goodnight Tweetheart is a truly modern take on a classic tale of love and loss—a Griffin and Sabine for the Twitter generation.
