Such potential here. Saw this on a book list and wanted to give it a try. I was really enjoying it about 50 pages in when a character (friend of the main character) is introduced that used the f-word 3 times in the space of one page. Not interested. Too many books, too little time. On to the next!

I just finished this book at 1:27 am. On a "school night." It's that good.

2023 PopSugar Challenge #21: A book set in the decade you were born
Creo que todos los autores tienen por lo menos un libro flop. Creo que el de Rowell es este.
La escritura, como siempre, es sumamente ligera y atrapante. En este libro, todo el formato de e-mails para las partes de Beth y Jennifer me gustó mucho, soy muy fan de esas cosas en los libros. Pero… la historia no estuvo a la altura de lo que esperaba por ser un libro de esta señora maravillosa.
Al principio pensé que iba a ser un poco creepy toda esta situación de “me enamoro de alguien que no me conoce porque le leo los correos electrónicos” pero eso me parece que supo manejarlo bien en la historia. Pasando este punto la historia tampoco logró moverme demasiado, lo cual dicho sea de un libro de esta autora leído por mí es muchísimo.
Si bien lo disfruté, Beth era muy graciosa y sus conversaciones con Jennifer eran hilarantes, siento que nunca pude conectar con ninguno de los personajes. Y si hablamos del aspecto romántico, le faltó muchísimo.

El hecho de que Beth se fijara en él en persona, de que él la viera, de que intercambiaran un par de miradas/palabras, aún sin que ella supiera que él sí sabía quién era ella me pareció un buen giro para quitarle la parte creepy al asunto.Si bien lo disfruté, Beth era muy graciosa y sus conversaciones con Jennifer eran hilarantes, siento que nunca pude conectar con ninguno de los personajes.

5 rainbow colored stars.
Attachments is an amazing debut novel by Rainbow Rowell. I highly recommend this book. It's a perfect book-club read as there is so much that can be discussed; the ethics of Lincoln's work and how he blurred the lines and his interest in Beth and Jennifer's lives.
I personally love the style of using emails, letters, Texts, etc to tell part of the story. The characters are all relatable and likable and from the very beginning I wanted to know Beth and Jennifer.
Then we are introduced to Lincoln and the story really takes off.
I immediately I found him interesting - sad and lonely but interesting. He grew into so much more as character and is one of my favorite male leads. I would love a follow-up story to see where they are now.
This book has one of my most favorite endings too.

I liked the development of Lincoln's character but there was none of that with the other two main characters in the story. But mostly I found this book too formulaic for my tastes. Everything was too "neat" at the end, with everyone getting more or less what they wanted. Furthermore, after what seemed like months of "why doesn't he act on his feelings?" through the first 80% or so of the pages, to have Lincoln & Beth end up together in what appeared to be "happy ever after" just felt rushed to me. (But, then again, I'm not a believer in love at first sight.) So overall not my cup of tea. If you like happy endings, you will probably enjoy this book.

Very cute book. I have to admit I envied Lincoln as written, a bit. He seemed geeky, chivalrous, and just shy enough to be believable. I liked the throwback references to Y2K and life in 1999. Reminded me about what I loved best about When Harry Met Sally.

I wanted to give this book 5 stars but I felt like I was feeling too sappy and that's why I wanted to
Give it 5 stars. So let me tell you, this book is so sweet and so gaggy romantic that I should have hated it. But it wasn't romance novel gaggy or Nicholas Sparks gaggy...it was confused and bizarre but still amazingly romantic gaggy. Read it.
