It’s just before Y2K (remember that non-event?) and Lincoln is an IT guy in his late 20s whose job is to monitor the email at the newspaper where he works. Lincoln falls in love with the newspaper’s movie reviewer by reading her frequent email exchanges with another co-worker. If you experienced the years 1999-2000 as an adult, you will appreciate how well this story evokes that time. Reading this was so enjoyable that I started taking the bus to work instead of walking, just to gain a few extra minutes with the book each day. This is Rowell’s first novel. Her more recent ones, including Eleanor & Park, and Fangirl, are even better.
