Read this one very quickly and it was really lovely! Predictable, yes.... but only because I had seen You've Got Mail recently. Perfect title for anyone looking for some escapism!

ARC REVIEW:
This book was truly beautiful, the way it followed Joan and Jess’ respective love stories… the pain, the joy all of it was absolutely inviting and emotional.

Truth be told at first there was just too many names for me to follow, this may have just been my lack of concentration but it did throw me. That being said once I got further into the book they all fell into place. I truly enjoyed the story of Joan’s love and how the author explored the effects of religious diversity in different time periods and how this lead to decades of secrecy. As well as Jess’ modern day atypical meeting scenario (this will make sense when you read the book, no spoilers here 🙈) which was such a unique way to portray the addictive nature of social media and how we can take a step back from it and still have a beautiful story. I do wish we got to see more from Ed but at the same time I think this was a great representation of how his family life was disconnected so we saw less of him; then when the secrets were revealed he gained the relationship with his mum and he was seen a lot more - a great technique that was really affective!! Overall this book was such a cute read and I couldn’t put it down!

Favourite Quotes:
“let’s start the end of our story.”
“Please write again and tell me about her.”
“I miss her everyday.”

I really enjoyed this. I thought the premise was good and both Jess and Joany’s characters were very likeable. It was clever to get them to do the tech switch and to then see both of them embark upon romance in different ways was very cool. A great read.

What an inspired story. The swap was ingenious. Lovely, lovely characters and beautiful storyline. I couldn't put this down. Bravo!

Love love loved this! Such a heartwarming romance! Fell in love with all the characters and was just such a feel good book! Highly recommend, defo gave me all the feels!

A lovely feel good story that is cleverly written. The characters are easy to relate to and their storyline is one you’ll fall in love with!

This was just so beautiful. What starts as a game almost - one person puts away their phone and their social media as one discovers the online world becomes a whole new world. Jess and Joan’s lives are carefully woven together with dating, letters and jobs all plaited together seamlessly. This is such an effortlessly clever romance that left me wanting more,
