Risky Text will be a millennial favorite, we have all sent a risky text or received one. Faroos Omani and Myla Genea authored this book because everyone accidently hilarious, especially when they do not want to be. This is a book that explores how cool we think a text message is until we get a response that 'kills the mood.' It is awkwardly comforting and extremely relatable for any generation of reader, because we have all gotten 'curved' in our lifetime. 'Risky Text' offers everything from sexting, getting curved, sending the first 'I love you', getting rejected and everyday conversations between best friends and couples. 'Risky Text' will be your reality tv in book form.
It is quite interesting that letters or emails were once the long form of communication. With access to emojis and more inside jokes than even our best friends can keep up with, text messages have won in the 'short and sweet' method of communicating. The Risky Text Book shows the humor in the flirts and hints people 'send, ' while the reader gets to laugh and see how the receiver responds. Most times, you are in for a laugh, being a fly on the wall and reading someone else's text messages. Other times, it's extremely uncomfortable to see the types of messages people send. Ultimately, the goal of the Risky Text Book -and the larger Risky Text Project- is for the world to look, laugh, ask a friend if they have sent a text like the text messages in the book and to ask 'why would you ever say that?' We are all human, so we are all awkward, weird about being vulnerable and we all seem like strange characters through someone else's eyes. Let's laugh and learn together, what's the big deal about a 'Risky Text?'
