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 . . . ?
Seriously what is there not to love about this book? Witty friends who 'keep it real', a broody hot guitar player in a band, a funny hot nerd, flirty work colleagues, a slightly wacky Mum, loud-mouthed best friend and looooove!
This book was the perfect ratio of realistic modern-day communication and stalking, against dreamy and probably wouldn't actually ever happen (making out in the cinemas before ever meeting or talking? Umm, maybe not, or at least not unless it really happened in a nightclub!)
A really quick read so I burned through it in 24 hours! This is one of the rare times that I actually would want to see a movie made from a novel. I wouldn't change a thing about this book.
