Lincoln O’Neill is a beta hero, no ifs, ands, or buts. He’s not going to ride into town with a travel toothbrush in his pocket to kick a little butt, make a little love, and then catch the next bus to anywhere. He won’t sparkle in the sunlight and make you depressed when he leaves town all in the name of protecting you. He definitely won’t rip his shirt off and go all wolfish when you’re being threatened. Instead Lincoln will sit in a windowless room on the graveyard shift and read your e-mail. He’s not exactly the kind of character one finds endearing but soon you can’t help but root for him.
Lincoln works for a newspaper and his job is to monitor e-mail (back when it was monitored by a person) to ensure the newfangled technology is being used appropriately. Lincoln hates his job so much that he wants to leave. Except he’s a little hooked on reading Beth and Jennifer’s e-mails. So hooked that he finds himself falling for Beth and trying to figure out a way to talk to her without revealing he’s sort of a stalker, but not the freaky kind, mind you.
Beth and Jennifer are two friends sharing their life, love, and family through e-mails. Never thinking about the person in IT that might be watching, they candidly share their thoughts on just about everything. As you read this blend of traditional and epistolary novel you won’t be able to help yourself from laughing out loud, enjoying the glimpses of everyday life through e-mail. Unexpectedly romantic, Lincoln will charm you as a young man that is still coming into his own. Once you start you won’t be able to stop, after all how can two people that have never met possibly ever fall in love?
