Review: Click by Lisa Becker

Author: Lisa Becker
Genre/Age: Chick-lit, romance, adult
Publication: 2011
Source: For review, CLP Tours

Click is a fabulously fun debut novel told entirely in e-mail. Renee, upon reaching her 30th birthday, agrees to try online dating with her best friend, Mark. Her experiences are wild, hilarious, and fun, making me both regret and be grateful that I've never done online dating. She shares all of her experiences via e-mail with her best friends: anal-retentive but super sweet Mark, man-eater Shelley with her wild flings, and uptight Ashley with her on-again off-again relationship , all of whom also share their own love life with Renee.

Seriously, this book was a ton of fun, from Renee's crazy friends and their bickering, to the creepy and (sometimes) nice guys she meets online. There's a crazy, angry guy who goes nuts when she doesn't e-mail him back, to a B-list actor who is totally conceited, to a gay wardrobe stylist, and many, many others. While I had so much fun laughing at these experiences, I was also wondering and hoping that Renee and her friends would find true love... and of course share it, via e-mail!

I really enjoyed this light, fun read... I loved the humor, the crazy dating, the romance, and of course, the close friendships. I'd highly recommend this to those of you who love books in e-mail format, like myself.

My Rating: 4/5

    I have a friend who has used an online dating service for the past year with some hilarious results -- I'm going to mention this to her, thanks :)
