ADORABLE and I have NO IDEA how to write this stupid review without spoiling everything for you. I finished this a couple of hours ago and I have been pondering it ever since... definitely a solid 4 stars, even 4.25. It's a fav, but it's not quite heart-pounding, riveting, or insane as a 5 star read. Still veryyyyy glad I read it, especially since my last book was Me Before You and fuck that book. (I was a sailor, after all. You'll have to pardon my language...) I enjoyed that it was set in 1999, right when Y2K was about to hit and computer/the internet was still a new phenomenon. I remember so little about that time period, but I definitely remember everyone freaking out that how, as soon as midnight struck, we were all going to be without electricity and eating beans out of a can. I understood Lincoln as a character and he is super swoon-worthy -- ugh, the things he says. Freaking Rowell has his one-liners and love-dopiness down and I love him. I related to all of the characters, really, and even enjoyed the purely text dialogue that was the only way to get to know Beth and Jennifer. They were both hilarious. I hated Beth's boyfriend, just like I was supposed to and (view spoiler)[was so glad when she finally DUMPED HIS ASS. You go girl!! (hide spoiler)] I loved loved loved how Rowell ended this, and even though the cliches were definitely there, I was fully immersed in the story and was able to just enjoy the ride.
