LOVED IT
I started out with Holly by getting the daily emails from the web site which was soon followed by the actual book, Holly's Inbox and now the latest installment Scandal in the City. You will really feel like you stumbled upon someone laptop and you immediately start scrolling through their inbox. And you can't help yourself. The story unfolds through these emails and detail Holly's group of friends, including Jason, Trisha, Aisha, Marie, and Claire, her questionable boyfriend, Toby and her bosses.
Like a series of "found" emails you may lose bits and pieces of the story since there is little emotional inflections that come across in emails and not even a few emoticons to help sort through the conversations. Also, instead of the characters actually having conversations, you get to peek into their inboxes as well. Nicely done! This is the perfect book for the voyeur in you, and you know everyone wants to read someone else's mail. You will adore this if you like Bridget Jones' Diary.
The epistolary style continues to evolve! They sounds like good books, I'll have to do some catching up.
