Ah, there’s the Rowell I remember. This is her first novel, written while she was a columnist at the Omaha World-Herald, which may explain plot line of newspaper movie reviewer sends witty email to copy editor friend at work while sexy, love-stung IT hero reads them under the guise of surveillance. Her first novel! Her storytelling is so assured and what the story is missing in depth or insight (don’t get me wrong, depth or insight aren’t dealbreakers for me! i love a good love story) it makes up for in just the best damn dialogue you ever read. I wonder if she talks like this in real life. If she does, she could be a secret weapon.
