review 1: Um, I'm not sure how to really describe what I thought of this...the first chapter or two I struggled to get into the story...it could be because I was on drugs from having the flu or it could be because I was tired, but the story jumped around so much I had a hard time getting a feel for the characters. I did stick it out and eventually finished the book in one sitting. So, here is what I thought:1) I loved M.J. The girl had spunk and she went for what she wanted. I had to love that about her and the fact that Rob realized it too, was sweet to see. Could I see any of this happening...maybe so that is the best part. I have met some insane women who would risk their jobs to meet a guy...and I know alot who would risk their health and her pretending to be a dog walker and be... moreing allergic to dogs goes to show she really did go to some extremes to meet Rob. Again, unbelievable? Surprisingly, NO. Would I have gone that far...I guess it all depends on the guy (sadly).2) As for Kate...I liked Kate, but I think she went over the top to continue her virtual relationship. I mean, sell your furniture and car to continue to buy time with him? Not so much believable to me. However, the fact that she did track him down at the end worked well for me. A part of me wished she gave Eric a chance, but that is the shallow side of me that saw him as a stand up HOT guy. Rare to see those. The fact that she went for the guy behind the looks said alot for her at the end. 3) Charlie - ok, he bugged me a little. For Christ sake, I have never met a guy who was too shy to ask a girl on a date. He already had an in. He was the building manager...he knew she and Dustin broke up...he was in love with her...who wouldn't have at least thought of some way to talk with her and show her that he got her? Instead, it cost the poor girl all that money and angst just to see the "boy next door". Man up Charlie!4) Dustin - finally ended up where he belonged. Boy was as dump as dirt. Never understood that expression, but it fit. He came across as a lovable idiot, but idiot he was. Thank God she woke up to that one. I couldn't believe the worry she put into that one. Anyhow, given the above, I couldn't say I loved the book and it did jump around alot to get everyone's perspective, but I can say it definitely had some redeeming qualities.
review 2: I spent the first few chapters of this story feeling confused. It may have been in part that it was late and I was tired, but once I got the feel for the story, I enjoyed it.Virtually Mine shows us several different people and story lines and how they're all connected. It starts out with Kate and Dustin who are in an acting class and are doing a scene--they are also a real-life couple. We also see Kate and her roommate, MJ, and their story. Their apartment manager also works for a virtual boyfriend company, which Kate gets wrapped in later. MJ sees a guy she likes and becomes a dog walker during her lunch break to meet him. See?? A little confusing. And there are more little twists and turns and connections, but you'll have to read the story to discover them.It was a light and fluffy story without much depth, but sometimes those are great because you don't really have to think. Although...I guess in this one, I did have to think a little to make sense of all the relationships. :)Content: clean. less
