But for the time being, I'm really under the impression that Rainbow should stick to YA. Like I said, I really wanted to read this, and I may give Landline a chance to see if it was just this book that I didn't enjoy. Writing adult fiction rather than YA does not give the author a pass to be insensitive. Don't act like being gay is the biggest insult you can receive, and don't stereotype them. Rainbow Rowell nació en Nebraska en 1973, y su carrera literaria comenzó hace relativamente poco, en 2011, con la novela Attachments, que le permitió entrar en la lista de bestseller de The New York Times. I get that the book is set in 1999, when it was cool to be inconsiderate (apparently), but this was written in 2011. And Lincoln is not only the dullest person I've ever read about, but he was also the narrator, so it was about as interesting as watching grass grow.Īnother thing that I should mention is the complete lack of sensitivity I got from this. And they set feminism back by about 50 years. Beth and Jennifer aren't funny, they're just whiny. Long story short: I couldn't care less about any of the characters, and the plot was just as awkward and stupid as I thought it had the potential to be. Fangirl and Eleanor and Park are both on my list of favourite books of all time, so I had high expectations despite not really liking the premise. As someone who has a best friend with FAS, I was very disappointed by how it was treated as something that just happens as a joke.

(Apr.When a book hits the ground running with tasteless jokes about unwanted Fetal Alcohol Syndrome babies, you know it's not going to get any better. Despite the structural problems, there's enough heart and humor to save these likable characters from the recycle bin. Debut novelist and real-life newspaper columnist Rowell has the smarts for this You've Got Mail–like tale of missed connections, but what doesn't work so well is the firewall between the traditional narrative reserved for Lincoln's emergence from shy guy to Beth's guy, and heroines who are confined to the e-epistolary format.
But lonely Lincoln lets the gals slide on their inappropriate office mail and gets hooked on their soapy dalliances, falling head over heels for the unlucky-in-love Beth. What they don't know is that the newly hired computer guy, Lincoln, an Internet security officer charged with weeding out all things unnecessary or pornographic, is reading their messages. Written with whip-smart precision and charm, Attachments is a strikingly clever and deeply romantic debut about falling in love with the person who makes you feel like the best version of yourself. In sweet, silly, and incredibly long digital missives, best newsroom pals Beth and Jennifer trade gossip over their romances-Beth with her marriage-phobic boyfriend, Chris, and Jennifer with her baby-mania-stricken husband, Mitch.
