Hey Guys x I went back and forth with myself over whether or not to buy this book. The Amazon reviews weren't that great, but the Goodreads reviews were quite good, so in the end I had to weigh that up against the price of the book. Even though I knew that it wouldn't be life-changing, for a book like this, the worst it could be was a bit bland, as I already quite liked the premise. Lincoln works in the IT department of a newspaper, where his job is to make sure that no one is using the new computers to discuss inappropriate things. Which means that his job is to sit up all night reading the emails of people that he'd never meet.

And soon he is entangled in the lives of these women that he's never met, to the point where he thinks he might be falling in love with one of them. But can you really fall in love before first...

Cath has to decide whether to open her heart and her mind to new experiences, or to stay buried in the fanfiction that she knows and loves.   I don't think that my synopsis did the book jus...
