"Message Not Found" was a touching story dealing with loss, grief, secrets and moving forward. Bailey has just lost her best friend, Vanessa, in a horrible car accident and uses technology to help her cope. She creates a chatbot based on posts, messages and emails from Vanessa, in the hope that V will give her some insight into the events that led to her death. I found this an interesting way for the protagonist to deal with her grief and it gave the reader the opportunity to know Vanessa. However, I was disappointed with the end. "Message Not Found" is told through texts, DMs, emails and narratives. Many readers will be able to relate to the struggles Bailey is facing and I think it would be a popular addition to our school library. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Her discovery of an abandoned AI chat program one of her mothers created years before, leads her down a rabbit hole after she perfects it and loads as many texts and messages from Vanessa into the software as she can recover. Watching what follows is a classic example of the adage 'what doesn't kill you (emotionally) makes you stronger.' Read the story to understand the how and why of this happening. ( )
