It was almost a year ago to the day that Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone made the world jealous of their friendship by sharing a night out on the town with Adele in New York City. Now, J. Law has revealed how the two starlets were first introduced.

She went on to say that they then texted each other daily for an entire year: “I feel like it was our version of The Notebook—365 texts.”
