About book Wired Love A Romance Of Dots And Dashes (2000)
Oh hey! Y'all best read this darling treasure of a book. What happens when a group of young single ladies and gents living in a boarding house discover the power of flirting incognito via the telegraph? Lines are crossed (both literally and figuratively) Bohemian shenanigans are had, and love is (sort of) won. A charming story about a 19th c. precursor to 21st c. sexting. Found via @clive5 - thnx! Remember the movie “You’ve Got Mail” starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan? Since that movie, the story of people falling in love with someone over the internet has become more popular. The basics of that story are in Wired Love. One of the main differences is this book was written in 1880. Nettie is a telegraph operator and “meets” and falls in love with C through their coded messages. Now, the novel itself is important in that we, the people of 2014, can see that falling in love “online” is not a new phenomenon. The novel itself leaves a lot to be desired. The plot is predictable and the characters are flat. The pacing is slow. It is a good read for anyone interested in the novelty of the book.

I really enjoyed this book. It's a simple love story, easy to read, and purely for pleasure.

3.5 stars due to the author being stingy with her happy endings. Otherwise a fun read.
