Book Club Reading Lists: Twisted Consequences

It is the beginning of the cyber-relationship era. A guy and a girl meet online trough a dating website. They live on opposite sides of the world and know nothing more about each other than what is shared through email and pictures. Is this enough to form a meaningful relationship?

Book Club Reading Lists: Twisted Consequences Opinion

I love to read books that are written as other people's personal property (letters, diary entries, emails). The first half of this book is written that way and held my attention captive.

In this age of cyber match-making, it was interesting to read, albeit fictional, emails between two people getting to know each other. Tyson, a quadriplegic, and Michaela, a Romanian student, met through an International Dating website and had been corresponding for several months. A trip overseas was planned so that they could meet. The question is, do emails offer enough information about someone that they should travel the world to meet them?

Although I enjoyed the first half of the book, I was disappointed in the ending. It would make for a decent book club discussion if you are looking for a "current social event" (online dating) story that is a quick read.
