Synopsis-
"Hi, I'm the guy who reads your e-mail, and also, I love you . . . "Beth Fremont and Jennifer Scribner-Snyder know that somebody is monitoring their work e-mail. (Everybody in the newsroom knows. It's company policy.) But they can't quite bring themselves to take it seriously. They go on sending each other endless and endlessly hilarious e-mails, discussing every aspect of their personal lives.
Meanwhile, Lincoln O'Neill can't believe this is his job now- reading other people's e-mail. When he applied to be "internet security officer," he pictured himself building firewalls and crushing hackers- not writing up a report every time a sports reporter forwards a dirty joke.
When Lincoln comes across Beth's and Jennifer's messages, he knows he should turn them in. But he can't help being entertained-and captivated-by their stories.
By the time Lincoln realizes he's falling for Beth, it's way too late to introduce himself.
What would he say . . . ?

Review- No spoilers
This book really surprised me. I really liked this book and found myself actually laughing out loud at some of the lines. I read this in a day and I stayed up until midnight to finish it. I thought that this was a really good book as I felt so attached to these characters, and I felt as though I knew them personally. My favorite parts of the book were the e-mails that were back and forth between Jennifer and Beth because I liked how real their life was and thought that the messages they sent were very amusing but also deep at other times. I liked how this book could change between highly amusing to upsetting very quickly. Jennifer, even though she wasn't the main characters, was my favorite as she had such a realistic life, but she was so kind and considerate. That is why I didn't really like Lincoln as I thought he was a bit unrealistic. I thought that his whole life was so predictable and he was cliche. Also I thought how the story played out was a little bit too cliche too as you could see it coming.
Despite my problems with this book I thought it was very good and if you want a book that'll make you laugh while still having depth then this is defiantly the book for you. I gave this book 4/5 and very much hope to read more of her work.
