Click: an Online Love Story by Lisa Becker and a Giveaway!


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. ~~ synopsis from Goodreads

My thoughts about Click ~~

I love the idea of this book, a whole story told through emails. That's our lives now, isn't it? It really was amazing that I, as the reader, could learn so much about the characters, just from emails. And to be able to form a connection with them. The four main characters all have totally different personalities and I learned so much about them. I loved them all!

The four friends are all connected through the main character Renee. She gets talked into trying an online dating site. Because, you know, she's approaching 30 and doesn't have a man in her life. So some of the email exchanges are with the men for the dating site. And some are the exchanges between the friends as they try to figure out their lives.

Probably the character I got the biggest kick out of was Shelly. She was always dating (and sleeping with) different guys all the time. And she has a way to keep them straight - she assigned them names, depending on their performance. Some of them made me LOL.

Click is a very enjoyable, quick (as in, I didn't want to put it down!), fun read.

I have the sequel to this book, Double Click sitting on my Kindle, calling to me. I so want to dive into it to continue this story and to see what direction everyone's lives take but I wanted to get my thoughts down about Click before I continued so I wouldn't be influenced by the sequel. So here I go, off to get lost in another fun read!

Be sure to stop tomorrow when Lisa will be here talking about how these books came about. And then on Tuesday, I will post my thoughts about Double Click. And be sure to enter the giveaway! Lisa is giving an e-book copy of both of her books to one lucky winner! Trust me, you are going to want to get your hands on these!
