It tells the story of a relationship between a man and a woman from their first email exchange. You read shat they write to each other and then you see another layer. You are simultaneously reading what she's saying to her best friend about him and you're reading what he says to his best friend about her. So, interesting concept. The reader knows more about the relationship than the couple does because they're much better being honest with their best friends than they are with each other. I didn't love it. The book was too short. I started the book at most three hours ago and finished it already. Is that enough time invested to really care about the couple in the book? It wasn't for me. This was a great and so very truthful. I love how it is written, all emails and texts. The best part (and worst part) is that I have been there and so I was completely able to relate to it. It made me literally laugh out loud because I have sent some of the exact texts, almost verbatim to my best friend. I highly recommend this book! It is a look inside the dating minds of both men and women and the friends that stand beside them. I read this as a regular print book, in our Pop Reads collection so I'm surprised there are only 2 copies here. Spoilers abound. I didn't like this as much as I expected. I always expect to like books like this a lot. It is a concept book, since there are four correspondents and they don't all know what the other is writing. The other half of the romance doesn't know what the best friend on the other side is saying. And the main parts are written by two different people. So one good thing is that the voices are different. But the story wasn't very interesting. Also, there were a couple of places where I couldn't figure out what a phrase meant. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
A charming novel about falling in love (or like) in the digital age--the never-before-seen full story. Madeline and Elliot meet at a New York City restaurant opening. Flirtation--online--ensues. A romance, potentially eternal, possibly doomed, begins. And, like most things in life today, their early exchanges are available to be scrutinized and interpreted by well-intentioned friends who are a mere click away. Madeline and Elliot's relationship unfolds through a series of thrilling, confounding, and funny exchanges with each other, and, of course, with their best friends and dubious confidants (Emily and David). The result is a brand-new kind of modern romantic comedy, in format, in content, and even in creation--the authors exchanged e-mails in real time, blind to each other's side conversations. You will nod in appreciation and roll your eyes in recognition; you'll learn a thing or two about how the other half approaches a new relationship . . . and you will cheer for an unexpected ending that just might restore your faith in falling in love, twenty-first-century style.

It claim's to be a more realistic look at the dating world through Emails and Text message format,
but it still seemed very romantic comedy movie type to me.
Still a fun, very light summer beach read. Only took me 1 day to read it.
