Attachments - Likewise Book Reviews

"Cute characters who are still flawed and relatable. "

"Now that I’ve finished it, it was just a very chaotic read. It wasn’t gripping or page turning. It was just words on a page. ⭐️⭐️"

"Cute, cheesy, loved it! Enjoyed the e-mail aspect more than I thought I would."

"This book hit different and im all for it! We need friends like Jennifer and Beth, and we need the Chris to find our Lincoln 😩"

"read in two days "

"I actually really liked this despite the awareness that these people would go on to have <i>children</i> that are older than me. The premise is really well executed. Mixed media stories usually don't hit for me. Stories in texts and emails and letters and whatever else authors come up with usually feel constrained by the format they've put themselves in, but this time the story felt exactly how it was meant to be and I developed attachments to all the characters. In fact, I like Lincoln well enough and his story was fine (if a little on the nose for me because certain aspects of his life I can relate so hard to and there are certain parts that are basically my destiny) but I was actually more invested in Jennifer and Beth."

"Laughing out loud good! Love love love loved it! Great humor. Great story. Great characters! Great read!!!"

"The ending is super cheesey. Like never-in-a-million-years-would-this-actually-happen-but-awwwwe Cheesey. Lincoln is totally adorable and Beth and Jennifer are highly entertaining. Quick satisfying read. "

"Does Rainbow Rowell live in my brain? I don’t know how she knows these things other wise. Or maybe I’m not as alone in my thoughts as I thought. Which is a very nice thought, I think, despite the repetitive nature of these last two sentences. <br/><br/>This was delightful. But if it was only delightful it would probably have been a 4 star read for me. This was more profound than that. I’ve always grouped Rainbow Rowell and John Green together in my mind (and trust me, I could not love the two of them more) because they are the type of authors that make me feel seen. They put beautiful words to my complex feelings and obsessive thoughts, and they make the world seem a little less dark because of it. <br/><br/>This was less of a love story than a simultaneous narrative of personal growth. It’s also a lesson in friendship, of letting go and second chances, and also not to put everything on the internet (I’m laughing at the irony of putting all these thoughts...on the internet). It was many different things at once, but most of all it made me happy and full of love. And a happy, love-filled book is all I need right now."

"This was an amazing book from beginning to end! The characters were funny, smart, and well rounded, and the conversations between Jennifer and Beth via email were my favorite parts. A cute must read. ♥️"

"Banter via email!"

"Cute read. I went in without knowing a single thing about the book and I think that was fun. The premise was interesting, if a little out there, but I loved it."

"This was probably the cutest book that I’ve read in a very long time! It’s just one of those books where I got emotionally involved in the lives of the characters. Even though set on the cusp of the new millennium, it was still so very relatable to me when reading it in 2019 at 22. This book is about and offers so much more than romance. You get to follow the main character on a journey of recovery, self-realization, and love (for both himself and another character). It was great, reading as the character realized just how strong he could be. Lincoln’s character was just spectacular and I really liked how awkward, sensitive, caring and slightly funny he could be — for sure an unforgettable character! <br/><br/>Let’s not forget that I really loved the alternating viewpoints! It’s weird, but I absolutely love when books do this. Even though this is the first book that I’ve read by her, I can already tell that Rainbow Rowell has such a way with words and details and just the right amount of genius for her story plots. I can’t wait to read another book by her. My only thing is that I wish there was a second book! I want to know more about them! What happens later?? But alas, I know it cannot be (Wow, that was dramatic, I know)."

"This was really cute, but the ending was just so over the top cheesy, it kind of spoiled the entire book for me."

"I was a total sucker for this book. It was pretty far-fetched, but the characters were so cool and the pacing was perfect."

"LOVED this novel! Thought it was so cute and original and sweet."

"Technically the communication doesn't happen directly between the main characters, but it's still falling for each other through writing."

"It has been a while and many books ago since I read it. I thought it was fun and sweet. Which I could be more descriptive than that, but it has been a while "

"If you liked Eleanor and Park as a teen, this grown up Rainbow Rowell book is for you! It’s told from the point of view of the male protagonist, which is a nice switch up in the romance genre, and it’s “almost” believable. (He’s that sweet.) You’ll be satisfied with the ending and invested in all the characters."

"i had a bit of trouble really getting into the book at the beginning, it’s definitely the slowest slow burn i’ve ever read. i’m talking EXTREMELY slow burn... cry into the book slow burn... scream your head off slow burn. but the ending was very sweet and made it worth it (i still wish they got together sooner because i wish i had gotten to see more of their sweet and pure relationship!)"

"Too much rising action and narrative from Lincoln's perspective. This book could have benefited with a larger conflict rather than a short and cheery resolution."

"A fantastic romance, love before first sight. "

"One of the best books I’ve ever read. I end up rereading it at least once a year! It’s a unique writing format and very attention grabbing through the plot and character development. Would 1,000% recommend!"

"Sweet, beautifully written, character driven romance. One of my favs. "

"Rainbow Rowell hits it out of the park every time. The nostalgia of the 1999 setting was so perfect, and the dialogue incredibly believable. By the end, you're just as in love as the characters are!"

"This is a really cute story, with funny and lovable characters. This is a good book if you are starting to get into the romantic genre. "

"@serenabaker The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner was my next read after Attachments. Very good! :)"
