I had really high expectations for this book, but felt like the stories fell short. Except from its interesting email format and making me say ‘eww’ out loud once it had very little else to offer. Maybe this type of book just isn’t for me, but overall it was a fast read and decently well written so I’d say give it a read and decide for yourself.

The other two short stories in this collection were off a similar vein, I don’t regret reading them but they were nothing special.
