Right click
by Lisa Becker
ARC RECEIVED FOR AN HONEST REVIEW
You will need to have read Click and Double Click to get the whole dynamic between the friends in Right Click.
Right Click continues on from the end of Double Click. Still centred around Renee and Ethan's relationship, which is moving along in leaps and bounds, we also get a whole lot more of their friends.
If you haven't read the others in this series, it will take you a while to get used to the style of writing. It is written all as emails between the friends, and I have to admit it took me a good part of the first book in the series to get the "voice" of each character straight in my head, so that I didn't HAVE to read the whole of the subject headers to see who was writing.
And as much as it took me a while to get my head around the style of writing, I loved that it was a completely different style. Yes, we have email conversations in other books, but not entire books written that way. It was a breath of fresh air to me.
There were some absolutely hilarious conversations between the friends - A Billy Joel song-off, who can come up with the best puns. I may have LOL'd more than once reading.
But for all the fun there was the sad. Friendships and relationships are tested, and there was more than one occasion I wanted to clip them all around the ears and yell at them - for goodness sake, pick up the damn phone and ring your friends for a change!!
I loved the growth of the characters through the series. They went from a bunch of quite neurotic twenty somethings to a group of thirty-somethings who have finally got their lives sorted.
And I have to say, we all have a friend like Ashley. She is not really likeable with her whining, her back-handed compliments, her judgmental behaviour. But we all have a friend like her or know someone who could very well be her.
But the one thing that I didn't like - the epilogue. It has jumped a fair way into the future, and it looks like there is quite a bit that has happened in that time that I would love to have read about! But that's it!
I have thoroughly enjoyed the Click series, and am sorry it has come to an end. These are the first books I have read by Ms Becker, but will not be the last
