Hannah Cobb's Reviews > Attachments

Beth and Jennifer chatter with each over over their newly installed work email even though they know the company they work for is monitoring their internet use. Or rather, the one man hired by the company to snoop into its employees' email is reading the story of their lives...and falling in love with a girl he's never met.
The subject matter and structure kind of turned me off this book for a while; the whole email format and rom/com plot seemed too shallow compared to Rowell's later books, which I love. But then I gave in and read Attachments anyway. Yes, it doesn't come near the intensity and writing style of Eleanor and Park or Fangirl, but it's still an enjoyable read, and Rowell's trademark vivid, endearing characterization shines through even in this more fluffy story.
