Britney's Review of Attachments

Attachments by Rainbow Rowell

Publication Date: April 14. 2011

Summary: "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 that 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 Rating: 4/Stars. 

My Review: This was my very first Rainbow Rowell book I have read, and she definitely lived up to all the hype she has surrounding her. I don't read many adult books at all, so I wasn't quite sure how well I would enjoy this book. The concept just sounded to good to pass up though, and I had to borrow it from my library so I could finally read it. This book was just as funny as I expected. I highly enjoyed all the characters involved, and was rooting for them all. There were some sad parts to this books, that I wasn't quite expecting, but they just made the book that much better. I loved the ending to pieces, it was so perfect in my opinion. This was also a fast read, since part of it was told in emails. I would definitely recommend this book to others.
