Synopsis
After he opens his big mouth in a fight with his best friend, Jake concludes that talking equals trouble. He decides that communicating through writing is safer. Through notes scribbled on napkins and in notebooks and on upside-down calculators Jake explores new ways to express himself.

Review
Ultimately, the novel's engaging jumble of correspondence amounts to a study of vulnerability, tentatively concluding that, when it comes to romance, playing it safe can be a risky approach.
Horn Book
The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books All in all, the author creates a story both clever and heartfelt.
Publishers Weekly The creafully constructed, seemingly accidental nature of Jake and Xandra's story combines the banal with the amateur pholisophizing of college, and invites interesting comparisons between sexual sophistication and real understanding of how to relate with others.
Kirkus Reviews Frank's experiment is fascinating.
