From the award-winning, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Wayward Son, Fangirl, Carry On, and Landline comes a hilarious and heartfelt novel about an office romance that blossoms one email at a time....
Beth Fremont and Jennifer Scribner-Snyder know that somebody is monitoring their work e-mail. (Everybody in the newsroom knows. It's company policy.) But they can't quite bring themselves to take it seriously. They go on sending each other endless and endlessly hilarious e-mails, discussing every aspect of their personal lives.
Meanwhile, Lincoln O'Neill can't believe this is his job now—reading other people's e-mail. When he applied to be “internet security officer,” he pictured himself building firewalls and crushing hackers—not writing up a report every time a sports reporter forwards a dirty joke.
When Lincoln comes across Beth's and Jennifer's messages, he knows he should turn them in. He can't help being entertained, and captivated, by their stories. But by the time Lincoln realizes he's falling for Beth, it's way too late to introduce himself. What would he even say...?

I have nothing but love for Attachments, it was such an enjoyable read and is easily among my favourite books I've read. It was quirky and sweet, yet serious when it needed to be.
Taking place in 1999 at the turn of the century, the Y2K fear was rampant. Enter Lincoln, the new IT guy at the company in question, whose job it is to make sure the company emerges from the crisis unscathed. Part of his responsibilities include reading flagged emails and sending warnings to the authors in question, and it's not a duty he enjoys. Enter Beth and Jennifer, and Lincoln's work suddenly becomes much more interesting.
