Though the plot was, basically, interesting enough, it sagged with irrelevant dialogue, which was overwrought and unrealistic.

I enjoyed this short and sweet little story so much! I read it in two hours. Love in lowercase is a breezy, delightfully absurd tale about how we are all connected, and the force that connects us all is love.
While at times I found some of the narration a bit corny, and I predicted a few of the plot points, overall it was one of my favorite kind of books- the kind that make you feel good about yourself, and about life.
I also liked the main character, Samuel. He was kind of lonely and dorky and sweet - one of the best kinds of male leads, imo. Another thing that I appreciated was that the romantic element of the story, while propelling the story forward, was not the main focus of the plot. I profess to dislike romance in books, yet I'm always attracted to titles that include the word "love". Because love is so much more than romance - and books like Love in Lowercase reinforce that simple truth every time I read them.

Though it's well worth a read, its original formatting as serialised newspaper fiction generates some lack of continuity, as far as the plot is concerned -- which is not an issue, as long as you like that sort of thing! The characters are understandably one-dimensional, as comedy characters tend to be, but they're generally lovable and hOO BOY this book is hilarious!! Idk if it would be as funny to anybody else as it was to me, but I constantly found myself laughing out loud. That being said, I feel like some parts of it were pure filler, and cause the story to drag and sag a little. But I wouldn't not have read it for the world!!
