Bailey’s journey is one that hits you in the feels but makes your heart soar too. What would a senior in high school know and understand about grief? More than you think. And if you don’t take the chance to look close when they fall, you miss them.” -Dante Medema, Message Not Found “Moments are like snowflakes they look the same to everyone, but up close, they’re different. That aspect in itself is magic-just like each of her books. With just two books in her catalogue, Medema is one of those authors that knows who she is and understands exactly how to deliver the stories she wants to share with the world. While her prose is contemporary and fresh, it’s also full of beautiful phrases, descriptions, and emotions that even with all the technology references I can see how Message Not Found will be a timeless classic in its own right. A YA book that openly confronts grief, friendship, the idea of betrayal, and AI? Just those aspects makes it a little wild, maybe slightly unhinged, but with some Dante Magic it all comes together to create a beautiful book.ĭante Medema brings Bailey to life in a way that I think truly cements how literature has changed for the better. Message Not Found by Dante Medema is hands down one of the top reads for 2022, and it is absolutely worthy of your time and attention. “It’s not the secrets that matter when people we love die, but the memories we keep in our heart.” -Dante Medema, Message Not Found
