Attachments by Rainbow Rowell 323pp

Beth and Jennifer work with Lincoln but they've never met even though Lincoln knows all about them.  Lincoln works internet security for the newspaper where they all work and it's his job to enforce the rules about not using work email for personal correspondence.  Each night Lincoln checks the filter and sends out warnings to violators.  But Beth and Jennifer's emails are different -- they seem different.  Lincoln feels a connection to them as they share their thoughts, problems and fears. 

Even though I'm not a fan of books being told through letters or emails, I was captured by the warm, honest friendship reflected in Beth and Jennifer's emails.  Lincoln's story was also compelling.  He was someone I was rooting for.
