"Hi, I'm the guy who reads your e-mail, and also, I love you . . . "
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. But he can't help being entertained-and captivated-by their stories.
By the time Lincoln realizes he's falling for Beth, it's way too late to introduce himself.
What would he say . . . ?
Foxy's Review:
Lincoln answered a job ad for what he thought would be his ideal career.
‘Full-time opportunity for Internet security officer. $40K+ Health, dental.”
But instead it should have read,
“Wanted: someone to read other people’s e-mail. Swing shift.”
Lincoln fell for Beth from her flagged e-mails she wrote her friend, Jennifer, and Beth fell from him by just seeing him around the office. The only problem is neither one of them knows who the other one is because Lincoln doesn’t know which face in the office belongs to the e-mail messages and Beth only knows the ‘cute guy’ works somewhere in the company.
This is a cute story. Ms. Rowell does a good job creating nostalgic feelings with all her references from the 80’s and 90’s.
