Cool Girls' Stories (Starke-Mädchen-Stories)
SMS's are short messages-normally no longer than 160 characters.
The chapters in the Handy / SMS Books mostly start with such a message, which is short, concise and to the point-followed by the events that occur until the next SMS. This accounts for pace and tension. The chronology, the dramaturgy and the rhythm of the action are determined by SMS's.
