When I started this book, I was thinking "Oh god he reads her email without her knowing, that is so weird and creepy" and wondered how a romance could possibly turn out decently after that, but when Lincoln went "Oh god I read her email without her knowing, I am so weird and creepy" it made me think maybe it'd be okay after all. I liked Lincoln (you're very obviously supposed to, to the point where it's like jesus I get it already) but I also found myself able to relate to his feelings of awkwardness so it was comforting to read. I was really glad that they had a conversation at the end about what they'd both done, but it felt a little empty somehow so I took away points for that. It was a very nice book that I found myself reading quite quickly and enjoying the whole way through, but I don't think it's a book I'll remember much about in 6 months.

I’m having a bit of a return to my teenage love of Rainbow Rowell, and I had forgotten that this was my least favorite by her. It’s good! But not amazing like a lot of her work is. I think a lot of it is just that I can’t fully get past how creepy I find it. The format should really do it for me because I love love love dialogue and emails are all dialogue, but reading someone else’s emails is creepy! I know that it being creepy is also a plot line. I don’t know. It’s not bad by any means. It’s funny and emotional and well written. I like that he likes D&D. I disliked a lot of the side characters. I don't regret having read it again.
