Fast approaching
her 30th birthday and finding herself not married, not dating, and without even
a prospect or a house full of cats, Renee Greene, the heroine of Click: An
Online Love Story, reluctantly joins her best guy pal on a journey to find love
online in Los Angeles. The story unfolds through a series of emails between
Renee and her best friends (anal-compulsive Mark, the overly-judgmental Ashley
and the over-sexed Shelley) as well as the gentlemen suitors she meets online.
From the guy who starts every story with "My buddies and I were out
drinking one night," to the egotistical "B" celebrity looking
for someone to stroke his ego, Renee endures her share of hilarious and heinous
cyber dates. Fraught with BCC's, FWD's and inadvertent Reply to All's, readers
will root for Renee to "click" with the right man.
The idea of Click
really appealed to me - probably because I’m single and turning thirty later
this year. *gulp* Completely different from anything I’ve ever read, Click
was told solely through emails between Renee and her friends, as well as men
from Choose Jews, the dating site one of her best friends convinced her to
join.
Renee had a great
variety of friends, from the anal to the slutty to the prudish. Through their
emails I felt like I got to know each one of them, and by the end I felt like
they were my friends. With the story being told through emails, I was surprised
at just how well I felt like I knew them. My favourite was Shelley - crude,
sassy, tell-it-like-it-is, and hilarious, she was an amazing friend to Renee,
always trying to boost her confidence and encourage her. She and Renee seemed like unlikely friends, but she was the exact type of friend Renee needed in her life.
Click had this fascinating voyeuristic quality to
it, getting to see inside someone’s life through their personal - often very
personal - emails. Being the curious person I am, I thought it was a lot of fun
getting to read these emails without the consequences you’d experience in real
life. The type of guys on the site ran the gamut from crazy to amazing. Renee had a lot of hits and misses (mostly
misses) with the dating site, and it was hilarious to read about.
A touching and
laugh-out-loud funny story about friendship, life, and love, Click is a
must read for fans of women’s fiction and romance.

This book looks like one I need to have in my life. I think I would love this book.
ReplyDeleteThis one sounds interesting but I'm not a fan of email books. They kinda irritate me--maybe it's because all the ones I've read were really dumb, I don't know. Lol. :P But I'm glad you enjoyed it! :D
ReplyDeleteThis books sounds like it would be a lot of fun.
