Short Synopsis: Renee Greene is fast approaching 30, and still single. She and a fellow friend named Mark, decide to try online dating as a last resort, and the two are in far more than they bargained for.
My Thoughts: Admittedly, this novel did take awhile for me to get into, but once I got into it, I was hooked.
Renee Greene is depressed that she is almost turning 30, and has no one to share her life with. She agrees to try online dating with her fellow friend Mark. After researching which top dating sites might be best suitable, Renee chooses a website for Jewish individuals only.
Renee is nervous at first, but when e-mails start rolling in, she slowly starts to get the hang of the internet dating world. She meets an eclectic string of men, some interesting, and some frighteningly scary.
When she thinks that all is lost, she meets an incredible guy on the site named Ethan, who seems caring, great, and a perfect match for her. She is also shocked, when a rock star named Jason, from a popular band seems to genuinely wants to get to know her better. Renee is reluctant to form a relationship with Jason, but wants to remain good friends. But as soon as things start going great with Ethan, Renee is involved with a disaster that might tear her relationship apart. Can Renee survive the world of online dating, and still find the man of her dreams?
Written in entirely e-mail format, Click is a cute, entertaining read about a woman, who is desperately looking for love. Renee, the main character, however a bit whiny at times, is also the most relatable character, as we discover her crazy stories about strange men, and the men who break her heart.
With the advice of her friends, Mark, Ashley, and Shelly, Renee enters the online dating scene, based on profiles, and the messages being sent to her inbox.
Through Renee's point of view, we as a reader discover how mean men can be, how nice, extremely weird, and how caring they can be as well. There are a lot of ups and downs in the relationships that Renee are involved in, especially a jerk of a character named Matt, who wines and dines Renee, but ultimately dumps her, once Renee indulges in their affair.
We as a reader as discover how Renee can be sweet and caring, and not overtly suffocating, as she meets her catch of a life time, with Ethan, who seems like the ultimate man of her dreams. It was hilarious, when the reader finds out who Ethan really was, but I also felt sympathy for Renee as she felt betrayed by her friend, and didn't know how to handle the situation. In general, Click is a cute, entertaining read, about finding your true love, and overcoming special circumstances.
Would I recommend this book: Yes
Rating: I give this book a 4/5.
