"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 . . . ?
| Or maybe closer to 4.5 stars? I'm not sure. Honestly, it took me about 100 pages to really get into this story, but after that I was hooked! This story was so darn cute! I was a little frustrated that we didn't get too many character descriptions early on in the story... It kind of bugs me when I don't know how old the characters are or what they look like. I ended up just picturing some super dorky guy that was falling in love with Beth, but I was definitely wrong! It was kind of fun in a way to learn what Beth and Lincoln looked like from one another! One of my favorite parts of the book was when Beth would talk about "Her Cute Guy" haha Lincoln was such a cutie and even more so because he didn't really know he was one. I really liked all of the character development and I was rooting for Lincoln the whole time. I loved the ending and I finished this book with a big smile on my face. I'm looking forward to reading more adult books by Rainbow (Landline isn't too far away!)   |
