By Rainbow Rowell

“I’m sort of… coming off a bad relationship”
“When did it end?”
“Slightly before it started.”

This book was not for me. If I hadn’t been listening to it on my way to and from work and when walking, I probably would not have finished it. On the other hand, I may have liked it better if I had read it instead. It got pretty tedious with the To: Jennifer Scribner-Snyder From Beth Fremont and visa versa with every email of which this book is mostly comprised. You can’t skip over it when you’re listening to it. I found Lincoln hopeless and sad and the girls silly and uninteresting. Beth and Lincoln didn’t even meet until a few pages from the end. I didn’t laugh once. Rainbow Rowell has a good reputation and rave reviews from almost all readers. I don’t get it. I’m willing to blame this on the format and give her another chance at some point. This was her first book so maybe she gets better
