Although I was bothered by the cheating, I liked Rachel’s character and I appreciated that this hot-button issue was dealt with realistically. Her confession spurs an affair she never thought possible. I really enjoyed the focus on an imperfect friendship.

RELATED: What Does "BRB" Mean, and How Do You Use It? Where TTYL Started For example, if you’re ready to go to sleep, you might text, “I’m going to bed. TTYL also implies you have to stop chatting at the moment because you have something else to do. However, BRB and AFK often denote a shorter period (like a few minutes), while TTYL is often used when you’ll be away for a more extended period, like several hours or days. All three indicate you’ll be gone for a certain period of time. It’s closely related to two other internet acronyms: BRB and AFK, which stand for “be right back” and “away from keyboard,” respectively. It’s often used as a substitute for “bye” or “goodbye.” It implies that you’ll message each other again in the future. TTYL stands for “talk to you later.” This initialism is used to tell someone you’re leaving the conversation and you’ll speak to them later.
