Resumen del Editor

"Attachments is so perfectly engaging, so sly, and so funny I read it all in one sitting, then went back and read my favorite scenes a second time.... I hope Rowell never stops writing." (Haven Kimmel)

Beth and Jennifer know their company monitors their office email. But the women still spend all day sending each other messages, gossiping about their coworkers at the newspaper and baring their personal lives like an open book. Jennifer tells Beth everything she can't seem to tell her husband about her anxieties over starting a family. And Beth tells Jennifer everything, period.

When Lincoln applied to be an internet security officer, he hardly imagined he'd be sifting through other people's inboxes like some sort of electronic Peeping Tom. Lincoln is supposed to turn people in for misusing company email, but he can't quite bring himself to crack down on Beth and Jennifer. He can't help but be entertained - and captivated - by their stories.

But by the time Lincoln realizes he's falling for Beth, it's way too late for him to ever introduce himself. What would he say to her? "Hi, I'm the guy who reads your email, and also, I love you." After a series of close encounters and missed connections, Lincoln decides it's time to muster the courage to follow his heart...even if he can't see exactly where it's leading him.

Written with whip-smart precision and charm, Attachments is a strikingly clever and deeply romantic debut about falling in love with the person who makes you feel like the best version of yourself. Even if it's someone you've never met.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Rainbow Rowell lights up the sky with this sparkling debut novel. Attachments is fresh, fun and charmingly quirky." (Claire Cook)

Great read!

It follows a guy named Lincoln (who works as a sort of web security guard) as he reads the emails between two coworkers and all the shenanigans that follow. I'll admit it was kinda difficult at times to tell which girl was talking when he was reading the emails but honestly it didn't bother me that much. The narrator, Rebecca Lowman, was excellent. I'd definitely listen to more of her work. Same of the author, Rainbow Rowell! I won't spoil anything but I was quite pleased with the ending as well.

Sweet millennium love story

My favorite book from Rainbow Rowell, a guy, a girl, and some emails between friends=romance? I am in!

Awesome as always

I love this author. The book was great. The narration was spot on. I laughed. I cried, and it made me happy.

Love the journey

I first started to listen to this feature because we share the same last name. I love the Journey Rainbow takes the reader on to find love. The story shows a belief that love never fails and when you find love...cherish it! Thanks DYANN Rowell

the best!

I’ve loved this book for a long time, and love Rebecca Lowman’s performance as always. Rainbow Rowell has a wonderful way of telling a story that’ll suck you all the way into it, leaving you unable to stop listening/reading until it’s all the way over. Ms. Lowman takes Rowell’s characters and makes them even more real :)

A lovely book!

Loved the book! Both Lincoln and Beth feel like real people and the plot is realy fun and unexpected.

Interesting story

This was a very interesting book with a neat premise, set in the time that I thought of fondly

Fresh and Unexpected

I'd read 'Eleanor & Park' by this author and wept. This story is much more uplifting. Though it dragged in sections, I appreciated Rowell's ability to make the reader care about each of the individual characters as deeply as the main character. I loved that, Lincoln, really was just an average guy. So often in romance, we read about these unobtainable men or women that we cannot imagine or believe as real. I believe this was a saving grace to this story. Since we are so able to connect to the character, it allows us to suspend disbelief just enough to make the plotline and ending work.

loved

loved this book. I've listened to a few other rainbow rowell audio books before and this is just as great. all her characters are so relatable and easy to love and the performance of the reader was very enjoyable.

omg good
