I enjoyed this but I somehow couldn't keep Renee and Shelley straight and kept forgetting which was the star. Maybe not being able to see them as they talked contributed to this, since everything was done via email. (Also maybe reading it at a cottage didn't help, since my attention wasn't always 100% on it.)
I also felt some threads weren't wrapped up at all at the end, and I really didn't like the "big disaster" Renee faced at the end. It didn't seem like a big deal to me More...

What's there not to like? Hardly anything if you ask me. I begun with this book last night and here I am, sitting in front of my laptop after my hours of sweet dreams writing a review that will go like this:
Renee knows that if she wants to be in a relationship she needs to be outside, looking for a guy but... all the good boys are taken, right? Or a gay, of course.
But then one of her best friends, Mark, sends her an e-mail asking her for help: he has decided that one of his New Ye More...

Review by Stacey: When I was first approached to read “Click: An Online Love Story” by Lisa Becker, the idea seemed cute. By the tenth page, however, I felt like it was anything but. This was quite possibly the most awkward book I have ever read.
The entire 284 pages are done as e-mails between several people. It was hard to keep up with who and what was going on even though each e-mail entry was titled with who the e-mails were between but because they kept jumping from one person to a More...

Renee is single and about to turn 30. She's looking at a future of DVD marathons and frosting binges, and she'll need a couple of cats, too. So when her friend Mark suggests they try online dating, she's just desperate enough to give it a chance. Really, how bad could it be?
This is a smart, fun read. It's written entirely in emails (the modern epistolary novel), but fear not, the characters have such clearly defined voices that you'll sort it out in no time. The perils of mo More...

The fun thing about this book is it is written entirely in email. Now, I was a little worried about this format the first few pages. At first it was really difficult to picture each character and keep track of who was doing the emailing. However, after a few pages I got in the swing of things and I was able to picture each character. They all had very distinct voices and Lisa managed to capture them, even in a one or two sentence email.

Lisa Becker is on tour with CLP Blog Tours and her novel Click: An Online Love Story. This book is written through a series of emails among Renee Greene and friends, as Renee tries to find love through the online world. Approaching thirty, not happy that she isn’t married or doesn’t even have a fling, Renee decides to try her luck on dating sites. Renee CC’s and BCC’s her friends on during each message she gets from the guys, and responses range since her two closest pals are Ashley- too judgmen

Renee is quickly approaching her 30th birthday and finds herself still single. With no romantic prospects on the horizon, and no desire to become a crazy cat lady, Renee finds herself agreeing to venture into the online dating world with her best male friend, the anal-retentive Mark. As she navigates the often murky waters of meeting that special someone in the vast reaches of cyberspace, she shares her adventures with Mark as well as her uptight friend Ashley and her over-sexed friend Shelley.

The entire novel is a series of emails between friends (and eventually lovers). When I began reading, I wasn't sure if it was going to sit well with me. Fast forward a few hours to 'The End' and I'd say we have ourselves a winner!
Humor is rampant throughout (the dating website Renee works with is 'Choose Jews'? Totally inappropriate and TOTALLY hilarious. Probably exists...)

I never win anything. It's like a curse. So I was thrilled to win my copy of Click from a giveaway! It made me like the book instantly but make no mistake, there will be no bias here!
The book is written as one long email conversation between friends and strangers. Reading Click is somehow voyeuristic as it feels like you are eavesdropping on someone's personal emails. Lisa Becker does a great job with making this element of the text believable.

I had to travel last week. Part of the reason I bought an iPad is so that I can travel with lots of books loaded up and ready to go. But there’s that pesky time during taxi, takeoff, and landing where you just can’t use the electronic devices. Normally, I pack magazines and catch up on back issues during this time, but last week, I packed Lisa Becker’s debut novel, Click: An Online Love Story.
And I’m glad I did.

Lisa Becker was a part of a blog tour for Samantha over at ChickLitPlus.com that I happened to miss out on, and the synopsis of her story sounded fabulous so I was estatic when she contacted me to read this book and review it on my own accord. Although the review was requested from me, all thoughts and opinions are my own, and in no way am I being compinsated for my opinions.

This was such a cute story! I'm sure that sounds strange coming from a sixteen-year-old when the characters were around age thirty, but I really enjoyed it. I also loved that it was set in LA, because that totally hits close to home for me.

I really enjoyed this book. The "everything in email" format made it a really quick, entertaining read. And as someone who has dabbled a bit in online dating, I was able to relate to Renee's experiences, both the funny ones and the heartbreaking ones. The friendships between the characters and dialogue felt very authentic and the twist at the end was completely unexpected. I liked all of the characters although Mark was lacking something, testosterone maybe? And while I was able t

Click: An Online Love Story was a much needed change of pace for me. The story is told through emails exchanged between main character, Renee, and her friends Mark, Shelley and Ashley. The friends are rapidly approaching their 30th birthdays (oh, boo-hoo!) and Mark harasses Renee into joining an online dating service with him. From there, the hilarity ensues. Seriously, I smiled through the entire reading of this book. If you've ever exchanged emails with a group of friends (and these days, who

I don't think I've ever read a book this quick...not since my days as a teen:) Having just read Holly's Inbox, I was fresh and prepared for the email format of this novel.

Renee is 30 years old, single, and ready to find a lover. Through convincing of her best friend, Mark, she joins an online dating site hoping to find a suitable date. With so many different sites to choose from, she settles on "Choose Jews." The online dating site name alone tickled me. The messages Renee received were even more chuckling.

When I was approached to review Lisa Becker’s “Click: An Online Love Story,” I was thrilled beyond belief that someone had asked me to review their book. This was a first, and it was truly an honor.
