Read Bottom Up

A charming novel about falling in love (or like) in the digital age—the never-before-seen full story.
Madeline and Elliot meet at a New York City restaurant opening. Flirtation—online—ensues. A romance, potentially eternal, possibly doomed, begins.
And, like most things in life today, their early exchanges are available to be scrutinized and interpreted by well-intentioned friends who are a mere click away.
Madeline and Elliot's relationship unfolds through a series of thrilling, confounding, and funny exchanges with each other, and, of course, with their best friends and dubious confidants (Emily and David). The result is a brand-new kind of modern romantic comedy, in format, in content, and even in creation—the authors exchanged e-mails in real time, blind to each other's side conversations. You will nod in appreciation and roll your eyes in recognition; you'll learn a thing or two about how the other half approaches a new relationship . . . and you will cheer for an unexpected ending that just might restore your faith in falling in love, twenty-first-century style.

    🌴Beach Bag Book

    A book that told us 'how girls got 0-10 real quick and guys got 10-0 real quick' and 'how girls and guys deal with post-breakup heartbreaks' through the emails of four connected people. One of a kind!

    "But you want to know the A #1 reason I think it’s going to work out?
    She hasn’t forwarded me a single email of his."

    if this relationship is happening in isolation, it’s going to be pretty easy to throw it away without consequence.

    I still don’t get why you feel the need to have friendly relations with a girl who has basically just existed to make your life miserable for the past year, but you do you, buddy.

    Girl likes boy; boy thinks she hates him, but it turns out this is her way of expressing affection and now they’re married.
