This was the first book by Rainbow Rowell that I read. I was looking for another one of her books and I stumbled across this one as it was the only one my library had at the time. My overall impression of the book was impressive. 
 Attachments is a story about Lincoln. A guy who just moved back home after graduate school, is living with his mother again, and working at a newspaper monitoring e-mails sent out by the staff. Anything that may be deemed "inappropriate" gets a red flag and Lincoln reads these to find out if they are indeed threatening to the paper. During the course of his job, The email conversations between Jennifer and Beth are constantly flagged. Instead of turning either of the ladies in, Lincoln starts to enjoy reading through their emails and learning about their lives. Eventually, Lincoln forms an attraction to Beth. 
 I thought the format in which the story was told was very interesting. Attachments is told from Lincoln's viewpoint. Throughout the majority of the book the only way we learn about Beth and Jennifer is through their email interactions. That's the same way, of course, the Lincoln comes to care about Beth. But can you really begin to know someone only through their emails and never speaking to them in person? 
 There is a fine line regarding Lincoln's feelings for Beth being sweet and being a little creepy. I'm happy that it was addressed because usually someone who invades someone's personal space without them knowing is not ok. I commend Rainbow Rowell's writing and her characterization of Lincoln that keeps this story out of the creeper category. 
 I love fun romantic books like this one. Beth and Jennifer's correspondence was hilarious. They don't take themselves too seriously and I always end up feeling better in the end after having read something like this. Rainbow Rowell has earned a place on my autobuy list.
