** spoiler alert ** 
 Confession time, after reading Landline (which I love, love, loved!) I vowed to put aside my book hipster tendencies and read Fangirl. I swear, I had every intention of picking up that YA novel and devouring it like I did Landline, but then a co-worker mentioned that Rainbow Rowell had written OTHER adult novels. Well, I couldn't just skip genres like that, I needed to read Attachments first! 
 I loved this little book. It was a super quick read, I finished it off in under 3 hours, and it was delightful. There were bits I found slightly unbelievable, but I did my best to buy into the storyline. (I know, falling in love with an internet snoop shouldn't be less believable than talking to your husband in his past, but somehow it just was.) 
 Lincoln was transformed throughout this book, but I have to say I didn't much like him in the beginning. I think that maybe Rowell made him a bit TOO weird in the start so that we could see him grow, but I didn't want Lincoln with Beth when we started out. 
 I kept getting Jennifer and Beth mixed up, not because Rowell didn't give them distinct and lovely personalities, but because the email format made it hard to remember who was talking. I feel I'd have liked a few short chapters in the beginning from their viewpoints just to get them straight, and then it would have been easier. I ended up sorting them by their beau's in my head until I could hold them there separately. 
 Chris, oh Chris, what a wonderful character. Rowell really captured how easy it is to stick in a relationship for the good bits even when it's clear to you and everyone else that they don't outnumber the bad ones. You can't help but love Chris for his thoughtful gestures and his broody broods, but at the same time, you recognize him (or at least I did) as that bad boyfriend you just couldn't ditch. He's distant and cold and so wrapped up in himself but gosh he's pretty, and interesting, and he gives you butterflies. Rowell, you get me. 
 Jennifer, I think I liked Jennifer better than Beth, and I'm not sure if that was Rainbow's intent or not. When she's off buying clothes for the baby she isn't having and doesn't think she wants and fighting with her perfect husband and being insecure about her weight and explaining her crazy mother... she deserved more story. I'd read an entire novel just about Jennifer, because I felt like she was the very best character. 
 Beth was less distinctive, even being the love interest of the story. She's really defined by her angsty angst over her boyfriend, and her kindness to her best friend, and of course her giant crush on Lincoln. I didn't really care about her fat arms complex, or her parents, or her job, or much of anything about her. This might have been my own fault, though, having become so enamored with Jennifer. 
 Overall, it was a good story, it was engaging and fun and all the good things you're looking for in a book.
