CONTAINS SPOILERS 
 This book would have been sooo much better if not for the pathetic characters. 
 Meet Lincoln: 
 A 29 year old nerd who has multiple degrees, lives with his mom, plays dungeons and dragons on the weekend, is cripplingly awkward and hasn't been able to get over his high school sweetheart breakup for the past NINE years.... BUT WAIT! LINCOLN ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE THIS: 
 Ya.... I don't get it either. 
 Lincoln works as an internet cop. He snoops through people's emails and web histories, to make sure no one is slacking off during work... welcome to the 90's. 
 Obviously, this is not the funnest job in the world; which is how Lincoln ends up amusing himself by reading the explicit emails between coworkers and friends, Beth & Jennifer. 
 Jennifer is infinitely terrified of getting pregnant, yet she possibly wants to since Mitch, her husband, wants a baby. When she finally does get pregnant she whines about it all the time but you can tell deep down she's happy. It's like the girl that complains all the time about this one guy who keeps flirting with her although she will encourage him and is enjoying the attention. Just shut up and stop being bitter and lying to yourself. 
 Beth on the other hand, has been dating an intense and flaky musician for the past 9 years. She's dying to get married and have kids. However, Chris, the B.F. is not interested. Que some more female whining. 
 Lincoln falls for Beth through the emails she sends to Jen, although he's never met her. 
 We follow the characters through their pathetic lives and how they all get over themselves, grow some balls and make life changing decisions... finally. 
 It's a cute idea which was executed poorly in my opinion. The characters did not have to be disgustingly weak. 
 I did enjoy Beth and Jen's emails. They were witty and amusing. I also admire the author's decision of attempting a Chick Lit. from a man's POV. We have countless of Chick Lit's starring pathetic females. In this one we have a pathetic male instead. 
 Interesting, yet not fulfilling.
