Review of Attachments-Rainbow Rowell

This debut novel by Rowell is charming & quirky.  Lincoln is an IT specialist working for a newspaper.  His job is to read flagged emails from employees to see if they are sending personal emails or anything contradictory to the newspaper's policies.  Bored out of his mind and forced to work the night shift, he is attracted to personal emails between Beth, a movie reviewer and her friend Jennifer, a copy editor.  Rather than warning the two friends about their emails, he looks forward to reading them and begins to fall in love with Beth, who lives with her boyfriend, a guitarist in a rock band.  Not realizing at first that Beth is attracted to him also, he starts to shadow her boyfriend while Beth shadows him.  He knows he needs to come clean & tell her about his email snooping, but will he lose her forever if he does?  4 Elves - Highly recommended for teens & adults
