This book is definitely different from the books I normally read and it certainly took a little getting used to. I ordered it online so I didn't really know anything other then the description the site offered. I'm not sure I would have gotten it if I knew what it was life before hand. The story is told, not in traditional story-like form. Instead, you read a series of e-mails, letters, transcripts and IM messages to learn the story. You read enough so you know what is going on but I constantly felt like there was more to the story then I was getting. It became very frustrating several times. I will give it props because it is certainly creative especially considering the world we live in where everything is done electronically. The problem is that I felt like there was just enough information to be sure I knew what was going on but nothing extra. That said, the actual idea was a good one and, from the information I did have, I really liked the characters. I think this is a book to borrow first and then, if you like it, buy it. I certainly would have been just fine not buying it.Show Less

    Read It In A Day

    This book was great. I'd just read the Boy Next Door and it was interesting how some of the characters from that appeared in this story as well. The character development is exceptional especially considering the book's unconventional style (written through e-mails, phone calls, instant messages). I couldn't put it down. I hope this series continues.

    Fun for Rain or Shine

    The book highlights a working friendship that many of us experience.It written like an email exchange and many of us have done that in the office. The chic lit is not hard to figure out but the ride is so much fun. This is a great book for quick mindless reading that you may need in order to get back some of your sanity. I recommend it for a fun light read on the beach; during a rain storm; on a plane ride or just because. It is not thrilling or mindblowing but it is definitely funny, light and great read!

    An adorable book to make you smile.

    You know those days when you just don't want to think? You just want to read something that will take you away and make you laugh and smile. Well, then you will enjoy this book. Sure, it's a chick lit book. Sure, you can probably figure out what's going to happen, but who cares? The fun is going along with the ride and seeing how it all unfolds.

    Meg Cabot decided to write this book in quite an original format, all through emails. As I was reading this book, I could truly picture my friends and I sending sending emails back and forth to each other that would be quite similar. I laughed out loud so many times. Each of the characters were so endearing that you rooted for all of them.

    As I said, if you are looking for a literary classic, this is not it. If you are looking to be entertained and laugh a lot, then I would definitely pick up this book. You'll read it in one day.

    Boy Meets Girl

    In today's email crazy world, it was fun following Meg's ping-pong style of writing in email fashion and it was different to say the least. This was a humorous, easy read that actually held my interest to the end. I even laughed out loud several times! My first Meg Cabot and I intend to read more. Yes, I recommend this cute book!

    A New Spin on Chick Lit

    I loved this book, the fact it's written in the form of e-mails, notes, journal entrys and even store recipts took me aback just a bit. I recommend it to anyone looking for something light and outrageously funny.

    Love and Without a Home

    Katie wasn¿t having a good love life at all. Her boyfriend, of ten years, would not commit to a marriage, so she broke up with him, she then had to find a place to live, because it was his apartment. She ended up staying with her best friend, and co-workers house , since she couldn¿t afford to pay for an apartment rent in New York City. After a while living there, Katie thought she should move out because Jen and her husband were trying to have a baby. Consequently, she ends up losing her job at the same time. She got in trouble, because it was her turn to fire someone, and it happened to be Ida Lopez, the sweet lady who made bake goods. Well, she was accused by her boss of writing a paper that she never wrote, nor ever seen it. Katie ends up staying wither her co-worker Dolly for a while. Things heat up with Katie and her lawyer. There were many things I enjoyed about this book but there were also things I didn¿t really like. One of the things I really disliked was the fact that they were all emails, instant messages, journal entries, or phone calls. With all the e-mails it was confusing for me since you had to know who it was to and who it was from. I really enjoyed the act that it was very intense, and you never knew what was going to happen next.

    Fun Read

    This book was so cute..it's style was so much different than the books I usually read. I loved how the the main character was just a small town girl (Kentucky) in a big city! Her love life was so funny too! It's a cute read, I definately reccomend it!

    Excellent Read

    This book was so easy and fun to read. The style it's written in is a nice change of pace. Everything is in e-mails, IM conversations, notes, voice messages, and journal entries. As soon as I started reading it, I only put it down to sleep and managed to finish it in less than a day. And I'm not much of a reader at that. It's very cute and has you rooting for the main character and waiting for that special moment to finally happen. It definitely inspired me to buy more of Meg Cabot's books.

    Fabulous Read

    This was a totally entertaining 'chick-lit' read, told completely through IMs and emails. I could absolutely relate to many of the conversations the characters had at work...and I have to say the letters and songs written by kate's ex-boyfriend made me laugh out loud. If you are looking for something light hearted to boost your spirits, I absolutely recommend this book.
