A wrong text leads Katie to a phone-free challenge for backstage passes. Can she and her friends disconnect for a week?
Katie Friedman accidentally sends a text to the wrong person, sparking chaos in her life. Determined to disconnect, she faces a dilemma: break up with her boyfriend or enjoy front-row tickets to her favorite band. When offered backstage passes if she convinces ten friends to ditch their phones for a week, Katie must decide if she can lead the charge in a tech-free adventure. Will she succeed in unplugging and connecting with what truly matters, or will the lure of technology prove too strong?
When a text goes wrong, Katie Friedman learns the hard way that sometimes you need to disconnect to connect. Here are a few things you need to know about Katie Friedman: 1. Katie is swearing off phones for life! (No, seriously. She just sent the wrong text to the wrong person!)2. She wants to break up with her boyfriend. (Until, that is, he surprises her with front row tickets to her favorite band, Plain Jane. Now what!?)3. She wants to be a rock star (It’s true. She has a band and everything.)4. Her best friend is Charlie Joe Jackson. (Yeah, you know the guy.)5. And most importantly, Katie’s been offered the deal of a lifetime–get ten of her friends to give up their phones for one week and everyone can have backstage passes to Plain Jane. (A whole week!? Is that even possible?) Katie Friedman Gives Up Texting by Tommy Greenwald is a fun and hilarious spinoff from the beloved Charlie Joe Jackson series, starring all your favorite characters.
