Attachments "Rainbow Rowell"
Rating: 3.5
WARNING! This Review Contains Spoilers
Okay, so Attachments, right. A good book with lot of humor and unique story. There are two unique books I remember ever coming across and they are Attachments by Rainbow Rowell and S. by JJ Abrams (which I cannot find anywhere but am dying to read!)
So what I really enjoyed about this book was the unique idea how a shy and 'cute' as described by Beth kind of guy who works as a security person at a Journalist company, monitoring everyone's emails and this is how he comes across two friends Beth and Jennifer when a few of their messages end up in his mail as SPAM and alert to be given a warning. Instead of doing what he is supposed to do, he is amused by their conversation and it is just a while before he has found himself reading them everyday and finding himself falling in love with one of them, Beth.
He is struggling with this own life, I liked his character and his family. Eve and his mom, with whom he has restraint relation but both love each other and I really liked it when his mother cried over him moving out.
It is exciting to see that this book shows it was no love at first sight, it was love even before that (As mentioned in the last pages of the book). I loved how Lincoln kinda stalked their witty conversations, not only giving the knowledge about them to Lincoln but the reader too instead of just writing in paragraphs and third person.
There were my favourite parts and not some favourite parts. The thing that really disturbed me was the long length of the book. It seemed to have forcefully stretched at some points and I lost my interest. It was like I wanted a break from the characters and just :
Yeah, that :/. But then there were times, especially at the end of the book and when Lincoln makes the effort to meet Beth that I really liked it!
I didn't expect the twist at the end and I was like,
And I am really glad it turned out really well in the end! What really made me laugh were the following occasions:
==> When Beth and Jennifer are discussing about why Clark Kent (Superman) wasn't famous and this conversation takes place:
==>
==>
==>
Not only Lincoln's life is explained but we are also introduced to both friends' lives too!

==> When Beth and Jennifer are discussing about why Clark Kent (Superman) wasn't famous and this conversation takes place:
Jennifer: He needs to be someplace like a newsroom, where he's the first to hear big news. He can't afford to read "Joker attacks moon" the next day in the newspaper.
Beth: You make an excellent point. Especially for someone who doesn't know that Superman never fights the Joker."
==>
==> Beth said that the band name should be Pithetic!Beth: He's very, very tall. And strong-looking. Like the kind of guy you feel standing next to you before you actually see him, because he's blocking so much ambient light.
Jennifer: Is that how you spotted him?
==>
"Men don't like Julia Roberts?
Beth: Nope. Her teeth scare them."
==>
"...Nobody was listening to me snipe. Kiley was trying on veils and the other bridesmaid were too busy counting each other's ribs to pay attention.
I felt like such a lousy human when. . . . I felt bad for making a scene. I felt mad that no one had noticed. I felt like sort of person who would set something on fire just to get attention..."
Not only Lincoln's life is explained but we are also introduced to both friends' lives too!
