Vacation book #2
I'm trying to finish off books I've owned for more than a decade but never actually read.
Honestly i just didn't vibe with it. I found the main character creepy and I'm really over these love at first sight stories. Especially when it's not followed by "and now we have to actually work on our relationshil" but is rather the "love at first sight will make me ignore all the 🚩🚩🚩"
I get that this is rainbow's first book but jeez I'd rather not

I really liked this book but the end didn't click for me. Also the way Lincoln's pov is written seems like he's a sociopath which was kind of creepy.

Definitely not my favorite of Rainbow Rowell's books, but still an enjoyable read!
Definitely "of its time"... there's some terms used by some of the characters that we don't use now because of their harmful history.

Attachments is the sort of book that’s difficult to get into at first, but impossible to put down once you get going. I must admit, I hated Lincoln at the beginning of this book. I mean whining about a girl who dumped him ten years ago? C’mon. But by the end, I weirdly found myself rooting for him. Does he give me serious creeper vibes? Most definitely. But I'm happy for him and his character development at the end of it. I only hope that it all works out for him and Beth. I'm quite surprised she went for Lincoln at the end of it all. I found this part of the plotline very unrealistic. If a man had been stalking my email for months, I'm not making out with him in a movie theater. I'm calling the authorities and getting a restraining order.
