Hit Reply by Rocki St. Claire

**** 4 stars
I really enjoyed this book. It is made of emails and im's. I have read books like this before and really like them. They are quick reads. I think my only downfall with them is that there isn't more depth. I think that Hit Reply has more depth than others I have read though. We as readers are given an insight through the author usually, in the email and im's style writting you usually aren't given that. St. Claire gives us that through emails of innermost thought that the character usually deletes and decides not to send. It gives you an idea as to where the characters true feelings and thoughts are heading. It is a nice change. I also thought that the subject material in this wasn't as light, which made as a nice change. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and found myself taking it everywhere for the 48 hours I was reading it, hoping for a moment to indulge myself.
