Like… maybe more of a 2.5? There were just so many problematic elements to the book and comments (ableist/plain rude/etc) that didn’t age well. I wanted to love it, and skeleton wise it was fine, but too many problems :/

I loved this book!

I feel like this was a warm hug from the 90s. I previously picked it up and couldn’t get past the first few pages, but now I’ve finished it, I’m glad I gave it another chance. Don’t get me wrong, I think parts of it should have stayed in the 90s, but the quintessential Rom com vibes are sprinkled throughout this novel. I loved the format (if you liked Love,Rosie you’d like this), and i actually thought the simultaneous timelines worked to its advantage. 
Overall I enjoyed it and I think it helped that it seemed to be exactly what I was in the mood for.
Also, can we appreciate how Lincoln speaks - it’s beautiful.

Reading this book was like watching a good rom-com. I think that anyone who has ever emailed at work, can relate to the emails between these two women. It was pretty predictable, but sometimes you need that in life!

I absolutely loved this book. I adore that he fell in love before first sight. Sweet story, captivating. I didn't want to put it down; therefore, I stayed up reading it until 4am.
