I loved this book because of the concept. It was something very different and even though it was about older people and from a male perspective I still liked it a lot. Lincoln had a good backstory which made it also interesting to read about his life apart from the e-mails. It was a little hard to get into it but you discover more about him and Beth on the way through and it makes you wonder just as much as it makes him wonder. And when Beth started having a crush on him back and when she breaks up with Chris I felt as much excitement as he did. It was also good that it wasn't all good or all bad, which made it really affect my emotions. I cried through all of the last chapters, which is the longest I've ever cried at any book. I very much enjoyed this book and I think it would come in second place behind The Crown. (AND THERE'S SO MANY GOOD QUOTES).
"The next night, Lincoln parked his Corolla right next to The Courier's front door. I'm here , he thought. Find me. Follow me. Make this inevitable. "
(Third read: I noticed how real the characters are. Like I saw a review about them being boring but that’s exactly what makes them good. They’re not overly done or overly quirky or anything, they’re just realistic.
It’s also funny how I knew exactly what was about to happen the whole book long. Like as soon as I read one sentence I was like oooh yes I know what’s happening after this. The sentences were so familiar. The only way to describe it is just that this book feels like coming home.)
