What I loved most, though, is how they tease each other and how they tell each other everything. They get angry at each other sometimes, and aren’t afraid to talk about it, but they also help each other through tough times. Their relationship seemed very honest to me, even though the reader only gets to see their e-mails. Both characters are so funny and witty, and at times the story had me laughing out loud. The e-mails between Beth and Jennifer were my absolute favourite thing about the novel. I flew through it and really loved it, but some parts of it did leave me wanting a bit more depth. By the time Lincoln realises just how head-over-heels he is, it’s too late to introduce himself.Īfter a series of close encounters, Lincoln eventually decides he must follow his heart… and find out if there is such a thing as love before first sight.Īfter I read Fangirl and Eleanor & Park last year, I was like “I NEED MORE RAINBOW ROWELL”, so I was very excited to check out her adult novel Attachments back in December. And Lincoln, a shy IT guy responsible for monitoring e-mails, spends his hours reading every exchange.Īt first their e-mails offer a welcome diversion, but the more he reads, the more he finds himself falling for one of them. At a newspaper office, two colleagues, Beth and Jennifer, e-mail back and forth, discussing their lives in hilarious detail, from love troubles to family dramas. It’s 1999 and the internet is still a novelty.
