When Lincoln comes across Beth and Jennifer's messages, he knows he should turn them in. But he can't help being entertained and captivated by their stories.
By time Lincoln realises he's falling for one of them, it's too late to introduce himself. What will he do?

I think this might be my favourite Rainbow Rowell book so far. As much as I loved Fangirl and Eleanor + Park, Attachments spoke to me in a different way.

At first I found it a little strange that Lincoln was reading their emails and not  doing anything about them; he was basically cyber-stalking them. He even began enjoying reading their emails and fantasising a life for them, at which point I was thinking "Okay Lincoln, you've had your fun, stop reading the emails now". However I was strangely captivated by the girls' lives and there were times throughout the story where I wanted to find out more about their lives, just like Lincoln.

Both the girls were hilarious, gossipy characters who seemed as obsessed with the internet as people are today. I loved reading their exchanges because they always seemed to make the best out of a bad situation. They added an extra bit of humour to this book which helped lighten some more serious times in Lincoln's life.

The writing style was slightly older that young adult I felt and was definitely more suited for new adult readers. All the characters were adults and talked about typical adult topics, which could get a little dull for me as a teenage reader. However the writing is light-hearted enough that I was rarely bored  and constantly laughing.

This was a funny, romantic book; it definitely falls under the category 'romantic-comedy'. If you love Rainbow Rowell or romantic comedies definitely give this book a chance!
