I DNFed it. It was an interesting idea/plot and I like most of Rainbow's writings however...the execution wasn't the greatest.
A bit slow for my liking but the end had all the mushy, chick-lit bits right in the feels!

Rainbow Rowell is lovely and dependable, and this is a super quick read (like all her stuff) that has memorable characters who feel true to life. This was a re-read (uninspired by my current bookshelf, I guess) and got through it in three nights. Just as cute the second or third time.

3.5/5.0 stars
My goal for 2024 was to read only books with an average rating 3.9 and above but we can make an exception and round up this book’s 3.87 stars. I immediately picked this up after reading Rainbow Rowell’s short story in “Scattered Showers” featuring these characters later in life. Some of this book took patience to read while other parts had me tearing through the text, audibly engaging with the fictional characters like I was in their neighboring cubicle. While the characters weren’t necessarily my favorite part of the novel (and I’m normally partial to character driven pieces), I was impressed by the world building (mail inboxes, y2k, Omaha, “The Courier” workplace, DnD basement, your mom’s house, etc). The ending was wrapped up a bit hastily in my opinion but the story was delectable through and through.

Este es el tercer libro que leo de Rainbow Rowell, y como siempre me ha dejado con un sabor muy dulce.
La historia de amor es diferente, pero igual de bonita y tierna que la de Eleanor & Park o Fangirl, eso si, esta enfocada a un público un poco más adulto.
El asunto del stalker me ha provocado sentimientos encontrados, la verdad, pero creo que eso es lo que le da un toque diferente al libro. Además, me ha encantado como Lincoln se enamoraba locamente de la forma de ser de Beth, sin ni siquiera verla en persona.
Los personajes secundarios me han parecido todos necesarios, y cada uno le aportaba un toque distinto al libro.
Me he reído muchísimo con los correos entre Beth y Jennifer, cada una con su humor e ironía propia.
La única pega que le veo es el final tan... rápido. Como suceden las cosas en un abrir y cerrar de ojos, sin explicación, pero como soy una enamorada de los finales felices, lo perdono.
Una historia preciosa, sencilla, y con una pluma que hace que te enamores de los personajes nada más conocerlos.❤
