I know that this is not the most sophisticated novel that you will read this year but "Attachments" by Rainbow Rowell is one of those stories that makes your heart a little bit lighter at the end, its romance without the sap, it characters with a good heart and real personalities and flaws and proof that storytelling can happen through email chains and abstract ways.
I adored the characters in this novel, Jennifer and Beth could have been me and any number of friends abusing the intraoffice email system to gossip about our own lives. Lincoln was just a sweet guy with good intentions that believes in love. Put all together its the kind of love story that all other love stories should look like. Even just writing this review, 10 days after I read it, is making me smile just a little bit thinking back on it.
Goodreads rating: 5 stars (not for great literature but for a much needed good feeling)
