Resumen del Editor

On February 14, an accidental email to a stranger opens the door to an unexpected relationship in a captivating short story by the New York Times bestselling authors of The Unhoneymooners.

One typo, and a boy and girl connect by chance. Wishing each other a happy Valentine’s Day isn’t the end. In fact, it becomes a friendly annual tradition—with rules: no pics, no real names, nothing too personal. As years pass, the rules for their email “dates” are breaking, and they’re sharing more than they imagined—including the urge to ask…what if we actually met?

Christina Lauren’s The Exception to the Rule is part of The Improbable Meet-Cute, irresistibly romantic stories about finding love when and where you least expect it. They can be read or listened to in one sitting. Let’s make a date of it.

Perfect

This made me absolutely giddy. I will be reading this again. Excited for the rest of the books in this mini novella series.

It’s Perfect!!

5 Stars! I am normally not one for novellas or short stories so I was hesitant but Christina Lauren should never be doubted. This was absolutely adorable and I loved every second of it! Perfect Valentine’s Day read! It felt like you watched your favorite rom com!

Such a cute story

I loved this book! The story was sweet and the characters were so endearing. It goes by quick—the characters are so engrossing.

Good Fun

This story had all the elements of a good story including shared history, mutual support, and flirty intrigue. The email address talking is always a little tedious but it was done as well as can be expected. I liked the characters and the situations but the meet was nearly unrealistic but made the story that much better.

What a great idea for a beautiful story the we all wish we could claim as our own. I adored it!

4.5 Stars for me!!

I thoroughly enjoyed the story and will listen to the next book in the series. This story takes place over several years and is mostly back and forth email. When I first started listening, I thought that I would hate it but was pleasantly surprised. Give it to the 50 percent mark if you are prepared to DNF the story.

The dual POV

I absolutely loved this! It was so cute 🥰 the audiobook was fun to listen to while I was working.

Perfect feel good Valentine’s Day story

I loved everything about this story. It was super sweet and fun. The narrator’s were fantastic and the way Christina Lauren was able to cover so many topics in a short story was perfection. The only thing that makes me sad is I wish it was a full length book so I could learn more about T and C!

Fun Short Story!

I enjoy many of the authors featured in this series of short stories and was pleased CL started it off! The story was fun, lighthearted, and had a great HEA. I’ll admit it was a little slow in the beginning (which isn’t very long in a short), but things really picked up! The narration was perfect!

So cute and no drama

Sometimes romance novels get tiresome because of all the unnecessary drama. This story was short and sweet and I loved how it unfolded.
