Blurb from Goodreads:
"Hi, I'm the guy who reads your e-mail, and
also, I love you ..."
Beth Fremont and Jennifer Scribner-Snyder know that somebody is monitoring their work e-mail. (Everybody in the newsroom knows. It's company policy.) But they can't quite bring themselves to take it seriously. They go on sending each other endless and endlessly hilarious e-mails, discussing every aspect of their personal lives.
Meanwhile, Lincoln O'Neill can't believe this is his job now- reading other people's e-mail. When he applied to be "internet security officer," he pictured himself building firewalls and crushing hackers- not writing up a report every time a sports reporter forwards a dirty joke.
When Lincoln comes across Beth's and Jennifer's messages, he knows he should turn them in. But he can't help being entertained-and captivated-by their stories.
By the time Lincoln realizes he's falling for Beth, it's way too late to introduce himself.
What would he say ...?
My Review:
*I

Thanks to Penguin Group Plume and NetGalley*
3/5 stars
Lincoln
is an internet security officer at a newspaper.
His job is to read flagged
email and he hates it.
But one perk are the funny personal emails that Beth and
Jennifer send to each other.
It took
me a while to get into this book and to warm to the characters.
Lincoln was an
okay character and I enjoyed reading as he grew as a person.
My
favourite parts were the emails between Beth and Jennifer. I liked their
relationship.
The book
didn't really grip me and the plot was slightly predictable.
In a way
I did like the ending but in another way I didn't as I thought it might have
been good if Lincoln had ended up with someone else.
Overall
this was a good read but after all the hype about the author I was slightly
disappointed.
