This is one of my favorite rereads. It's definitely a comfort read. I love Lincoln and I can't get over his way of loving. He's the sweetest.

There was a lot of build-up to the end of this book. Characters were decently likeable despite their flaws (but we all have flaws, right?). Some humor, but definitely not laugh out loud humor in my opinion. This was a much needed light-hearted read after some heavier plots lately.

The story seems slightly far fetched that Lincoln could completely fall in love with Beth based solely on a few emails he read, but….. I still enjoyed this! I liked Lincoln’s character, even though he was an absolute puppy dog in every relationship.

I thought this book was very cute in an early 2010s kind of way. Some people have said they struggled to get into the book until about halfway through, but I felt the opposite. I was drawn in by the characters up until about 60% into the story. At that point I felt very bogged down by the slow moving plot and the fact that the two main characters hadn’t Even talked yet. I think the premise of the book was amazing, and I love Rowell’s writing style. I almost wish this book could be rewritten to feel more modern, and to embrace a more open and connected romantic style, popular in more recent romance books. I don’t know how to describe it exactly, but I felt that this book was missing  depth. There are many times, when even though I felt connected to the characters, I felt the majority of the book was pretty hollow. 

Overall, I would recommend this book if you want something easy to read with a semi slow burn, but I would say a majority of romance novels written within the past five years will surpass this book just because the genre itself has developed greatly since this was published. If you’re a fan of rainbow browse work, so you would probably enjoy this. If you like romance books with low to know spice, this is a great book for you. If you like books that feature a lot of emailing or texting between characters this will also be a great book for you. 

Trigger warning:
Mentions of a suspected narcissistic relationship
Infidelity in a long-term relationship
Miscarriage or general trauma around pregnancy
Use of the R word as a self deprecating insult
