When I was in my mid-teens, I enjoyed a series of books by Jaclyn Moriarty that were largely written in the form of letters and notes. I also read a series of books which were instant-message conversations, the Internet girls by Lauren Myracle. I enjoyed these formats, and that they are different to how most books are.
Does anyone have any recommendations of books in these formats that they enjoyed?
Thanks!

If you are up for a French classic epistolary novel, Dangerous Liaisons (Les Liaisons Dangereuses) by Choderlos de Leclos is brilliant. I read it in the Penguin translation. The film, starring Glenn Close and John Malkovich is also very good.
