Definition: Flirtexting is any text message sent between you and a hottie you would like to date or are currently dating. These texts contain flirty, witty banter that typically leads to a date. Yes, please!
This book teaches us to not only embrace our text-nation, but capitalize when it comes to the fellas. Serving up word-for-word, ready to send texts (he'll never know you had the help) and even interpreting response time (was it too eager, or too nonchalant - we've all obsessed), Flirtexting is girl's night approved. Go get him!

Pride, Prejudice and Zombies
You know how a great pair of jeans can be dressed up or dressed down? That's kind of how we think of Jane Austen and her novels.
