Well, what should I say? I’m glad my office crush is not an IT guy or else I’m doomed.

Okay, I really don’t know how to start with my review because I still can’t get over with all the kilig I felt after finishing the book. Perhaps, I should start with this warning:Never use your company email for telling personal stuff (specially your office crush) to your friends at work for some cute IT guy, who also happens to be your crush, might be prying on your email.

Attachments is really a very lovable story. I love everything about it specially the way the author used the (email) epistolary style in presenting the characters. To be more specific, I love the email exchanges between Beth and Jennifer because admittedly, we often do that in our office. I mean, we usually maximize the sametime feature of our company email to chat with each other about personal stuff like, in my case, crush sightings :D.

I think that is the reason why I find the story so realistic. As for the characters… well, I adore Lincoln! I picture him as someone who looks like this:

I think I’ll stop here. I just want you to read it and hopefully agree with me later that it’s a nice story indeed.

Dear Lord,

I praise and thank you for guarding my heart all these years. I thank you that you have not allowed me to get into a wrong kind of relationship and commit more acts of Cupidity. You’ve told me once that I was made for romance, and the only one who can offer it to me consistently and deeply is your son, Jesus. So as I patiently wait for that pleasing and perfect will of Yours for me, I pray that You continue to guard and strengthen my heart more. Remind me constantly to use this gift of single-blessedness as an opportunity to serve and honor You and to serve others. I also pray that you protect me from all the things that this world may offer but are outside of Your will so I may avoid the acts of Cupidity mentioned in this book. Teach me to really fix my eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith so I may become the woman (or wife) that You want me to be.

In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.

 Your daughter,
Cary

Okay, so that was my initial reaction after reading the book. What I like most about this book is that the authors never failed to remind that yes, in one way or another, you’ve committed an act of cupidity but it’s never too late to ask for  forgiveness and start with a clean slate. Our God is a God of forgiveness and redemption.Cupidity was actually more of a reminder for me that we should really test against God’s Word whatever things we heard about love. Every believer should always bear in mind that God is always concerned about our lives, and that includes our love life.
