“Dude, let
me read as long as I want”
Blogger,
reviewer, and literary aficionada, Eve never found “the one,” and finds solace
and pleasure in the written word.
“Instead of
marrying myself, I think I’ll marry a library instead.” I like her! Such a
passion for books!
When she
thinks of romance, she thinks of Jane Austen with deep conversations, an
exchange of hearts, and a true meeting of souls. Yeah, only in the books,
sister!
Then Eden
forms a close bond with a Twitter follower named Adam. Adam and Eve—what are
the odds? Anyways, he’s a writer that woos her with his vast intellect, poetry,
and international worldliness. He challenges her with debates on politics and
gender rights. The two engage in such deep, philosophical conversation that it’s
like they’re from the 1800’s or from the Renaissance. They pretty much carry a
haughty tone throughout. But every now and then there is a sweet tenderness
right out of Shakespeare scripture. Adam not only challenges Eve, but he
provokes her and makes her feel worthy.
Book is
compiled of blog entries, tweets, emails, and poetry with some story sprinkled
in between. This is an old-fashioned love connection for the digital age. I
thought there was just too much back and forth with the emails, which I guess
makes sense as this was their only form of communication and it would be
relatable in today’s age. But I just prefer more story than anything else.
This was “Dear
Adam” all the way---it’s just nothing but love letters (or I should say love emails.)
My rating: 3 stars
