Reply All
Corporate emailing has never been this hot...Bridget Quinn owes a big thank you to whoever created the email “recall” function. Thanks to them, instead of ending her career, a wayward “reply all” lands her a secret confidant inside her fashion firm’s top client. The more she talks to Will, the more she finds herself falling head over heels. But when they go from an online friendship into an IRL hook up, she’s not sure she’s ready to risk the one person she has come to trust completely.
Bridget prides herself on always seeing the silver lining. But the more she talks to Will, the more he helps her realize that sometimes her “silver-lining” is really settling. To stand up for what she really wants she’ll need to go out on a with Will and at work.
When reality hits, Bridget and Will have to decide…was it love at first email or will their relationship land in the spam folder?
Reply All is a romantic comedy for fans of Devil Meets Prada and You've Got Mail, but make it spicy. It had enough steam to fog up your favorite reading glasses.

This book had some cute moments but I just couldn't not root for Will, our male main character. First, a quick synopsis: Bridget just started a new job in fashion production. She has has a tough life, but she is resilient and can always look on the bright side. But what is the bright side when you hit reply all to an email and send a cringy email? You make a new friend named Will. Will works for a company that is collaborating with Bridget's company. Will and Bridget start emailing, texting, and FaceTiming nonstop and form a real life friendship. But maybe it'll be more than that since Will is a hotter version of Theo James. Bridget sure hopes so!
I enjoyed reading about fashion production -- it was genuinely interesting to learn about that side of the business. I liked that Will's POV chapters were written completely differently from Bridget's (her chapters were first person and much longer and his were third person and much shorter). It was an interesting artistic choice and felt original. I really loved Bridget's cat, Ginger. Though, be warned that Ginger has a health scare since that can be triggering to some folks.
There were a few things that were hard for me to get over. First, for two people who talk a million times a day, Will and Bridget had a lot of miscommunications and misunderstandings. They are two people who know how to talk but not communicate.
Oh, and Bridget's boss, Lena, could have been written to be a genuine mentor but instead turned out to be a cartoon villain. I just wished that Bridget had some positive relationships in her life (like friends or a caring boss) so that Will didn't turn out to be the only person who made Bridget feel seen or taken care of.
Beyond that, I just did not enjoy Will. If I had a friend who told me that she was talking to someone and he actively avoided answering questions about his job, I would say, "that is weird. That's suspicious." If she then told me that this man tried to convince her that there is a big difference between lying and "misleading by omission," I would say "girl, maybe don't get too attached." If she then told me that he was basically priming her with small white lies so that she would get used to be, I would say "why are you still talking to this man." If she then found out about the lying and he still wouldn't call it lying (no, no, he "misled" her) and said that one of the reasons he lied was because of something she said, I would personally go and slap him.
See to me, Will is the type of guy who would buy a house without asking his partner and then not understand why they would be upset. And I just don't vibe with that. He felt really manipulative to the point that 95% of the way into the book, he does something and say "I know this is super bad and manipulative, but…” There ain't no buts, baby. To me those are big red flags. But to each their own! While I would be bobbing and weaving so this type of love doesn't find me, there are others who will swoon over Will.
Thank you Caroline Frank for providing the eARC! All opinions are my own.

Thank you so much to the author for giving me the opportunity to read this as an arc, that being said this is my honest review!
Reply All is a contemporary romance, with a workplace setting and a sort of friends-with-benefits arrangement. Bridget, our fmc, never had an easy life and also had some though luck for most of it, but she is always able to focus on the bright side and keep going. She has recently started working for a fashion company, when she mistakenly replies to an email using the reply all function. She manages to recall the email, but some how there's one guy that gets her cringey reply and decides to start up a conversation with her. That's how she meets Will.
I enjoyed the setting of this, the fashion world is always interesting and I feel like it's a great setting for romance books or rom-com movies, but in this case I feel like it could've been explored differently. It was always a background thing, even when the fmc talked about her job the focus was solely on problems and conflict (which is great, because it gives an opportunity to see the fmc deal with those things, but it made me feel like we never really saw her job). As per the email thing, I think I would've liked it to last a little longer. There was a fast progression from emails, to text messages, to facetime calls and then in person meetings.
Now, let's talk about the love story. It wasn't very convincing honestly, there was a lot of miscommunication and I could tell (almost from the beginning) that there was a big thing hidden. Both main characters were obsessed with each other, but it felt difficult to believe they were actually compatible and in love with the other.
The story was fast paced, the writing flowed nicely and it was easy to read (even with the double pov that went for first person to third person). I really liked the cat, Ginger, and I kinda liked Will. He is not perfect, but I definitely enjoyed him more than I enjoyed Bridget.

La verdad es que esperaba más. Me gustó, pero pensé que iba a ir distinto.

Una LECTURA LIGERA a la que le tenía muchísimas ganas pero fue un poco decepcionante. Básicamente porque es MÁS SPICE QUE ROMANCE. Los personajes eran planos y había mucho relleno. Lo disfruté pero es bastante OLVIDABLE.

I did receive the ARC for this (thank you!) despite this not being my usual type of read. It’s safe to say it still isn’t after reading. Maybe it will be for others. I personally did not find the love story believable. The pacing was off and made the love feel very forced, rushed, and a bit like lovebombing. I’m not sure if we’re supposed to like the MMC, but I definitely couldn’t with the very little information we got about his backstory.
Besides the romance aspect falling flat, I felt that there were a few other things that stuck out.
1. The backstory of the FMC’s childhood and upbringing felt like a missed opportunity. There were only a few small mentions of what seemed like a really traumatic childhood and then it was never really tied back into the story. It felt like another way to victimize Bridget and create this damsel in distress trope.
2. I really disliked how Lena ended up being portrayed. Yes, Bridget’s workplace was toxic. But it doesn’t sit right with me that this story felt like it enabled the idea of strong women being conniving and having to put themselves against other women to be successful. Yeah, didn’t like that.
3. There’s no trigger warning for a pet health concern. So, be advised. It was extremely upsetting to read about this for me and was truly such an unnecessary scene.
As for what I enjoyed:
1. Really quick read! The writing flows and reads well making it go by really quickly despite taking place over the course of a few months.
2. I enjoyed reading about Bridget’s perspective on the corporate world while she navigated it as a lower level employee. I felt there was a nice amount of growth in her personally and professionally.
3. Ginger, of course! I love any inclusion of cats in a story :)
Overall, I’m glad to have read outside of my usual realm. Unfortunately, this wasn’t for me. I find it hard to get past the instant love, but for those who like that, this is definitely something to give a try.

my first ARC read and it was defo off to a good start
I haven't read a pen pals to lovers book in such a long time and im glad this was the book that brought me back to it
I loved the characters and their personalities, Will and Giner slowly warming up to each other throughout the book 📖 ❤️
I know nothing about working in the fashion industry but the way the characters roles were described it means I didn't feel like I didn't know what was going on which om glad off

I think what I liked most about this book was the development of Bridget and Will’s friendship and then relationship. I almost always enjoy emails and texts in romance novels and this didn’t disappoint. Sure there were a lot of ups and downs, pining, longing and miscommunication thrown in but I couldn’t stop reading and couldn’t put it down until I was finished because I truly needed to see how it all worked out. Thank you to the author Caroline Frank for giving me the opportunity to read this early.

I truly need to preface that art is subjective and I appear to be in the minority here in not liking this book very much. What may not work for me may work super well for you, and I do think the author is talented. This one may just not have been for me. I did enjoy the prose at times, there were too many plot moments I did not like and they added up a lot.
Stuff I disliked with no spoilers: I felt that Bridget and Will fell for each other super fast. There is a scene that evolves into sexting CRAZY fast that felt very odd to me personally. I would have liked more build up. There were times I felt that I did not know the MMC and neither did the FMC. He hides so much about himself for seemingly no reason, like why would you hide your main hobbies from your youth (that you still dabble in) from your "best friend"? Meanwhile, Bridget was pretty open and I did like that. There was too much miscommunication and jumping to conclusions on both of them but we spend more time in Bridget's POV so it was more spelled out in her perspective. There is a lot of conflict that could be easily avoided if they just spoke to each other about it, which like I get there needs to be conflict but it seemed so silly at times. There were a few extra random plot moments that seemed a bit out of the blue too. There is a plot point where her cat has a medical emergency (fear not, the cat is okay!) that seemed very random to me. There were moments in the spicy scenes that really took me out of it. While this may be sexy to others, describing what he thought she would taste like vs what she did taste like (all fruit or flowers) was very odd to me as those zones should not taste like any of those things for health reasons. There was also a prolific use of the phrase "ditto" which is a silly nitpick but honestly made me understand "the ick".
Stuff I liked with no spoilers: I liked the corporate fashion industry setting. I enjoyed seeing Bridget grow in her job and responsibilites and learn about office politics. The cat was cute (if underutilized). I thought Bridget herself was a very cute person, her silver lining outlook was nice and didn't get too grating for a semi-cynic like me.

4.5/5 ⭐️ ARC
Love love love loved it !
The flirty banter right from the get go ✅
The instant connection ✅
The whole book ✅
The way Bridget and Will came together was so effortless and soooo effective to the storyline. Showing the support they gave each other to vent but also maintaining that separation at first was *chefs kiss*
The only thing I wish there was more of was Will, while we got the little ‘thought bubble’ moments at the end of each chapter, I wish we got to see/hear more !
Overall such a well rounded, great story !

Huge thanks to Caroline Frank for the ARC of Reply All! I’m so grateful I got to experience this funny, heartfelt, and utterly addictive story early, what a ride. 💌✨
I went into Reply All completely blind (no blurb, no spoilers, just vibes), and within a few pages, I knew I was in trouble, the “keep reading until 2am” kind of trouble. And yep, that’s exactly what happened. The setup? Chef’s kiss. A disastrous “reply all” that should’ve been a one-way ticket to HR somehow turns into one of the most unexpectedly tender and emotionally resonant connections I’ve read in a while. Bridget and Will start with flirty email banter, but what unfolds is something so much deeper. Their friendship builds slowly, layered with vulnerability, humor, and just the right amount of tension. Will is calm and grounded in a way that quietly anchors Bridget, and she brings a spark into his very buttoned-up world.
🎀𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀🎀
Bridget is chaotic in the best way. Smart, funny, deeply driven, but clearly burning the candle at both ends. Watching her try to keep it together (and sometimes absolutely not) felt real. She’s messy, she’s human, and she’s easy to root for.
Will, on the other hand, is the definition of controlled. He’s thoughtful and kind but guarded, and there’s a quiet sadness to him that slowly unravels as the story goes on. He’s not a typical romance hero, no swagger or bravado, but that just made me love him more. The man uses words sparingly, but when he does speak? Prepare to melt.
🎀𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀🎀
Now let’s talk about The Secret™. I had theories. I was convinced I had it all figured out, until I didn’t. The twists were perfectly paced, and the emotional payoff was so worth it. That said… the miscommunication? Oof. I wanted to shake them. Lovingly. But still, shake them. It was infuriatingly real in that way that makes you care even more.
This story is funny, steamy, and surprisingly emotional. The character growth is beautifully done, and the way Caroline Frank balances sass with sincerity? Pure magic. If The Devil Wears Prada and You’ve Got Mail had a spicy, emotionally intelligent love child, it would be this book.
Highly recommend going in blind. Just maybe don’t start it at night unless you’re cool with zero sleep and all the feels.

ARC REVIEW:
In a new romance novel, we meet Bridget, an independent, hard-working woman who made a mistake via email and accidentally ended up meeting Will. This is none other than her next romantic interest and it promises a rosy relationship, until an important secret is discovered.
At first, I struggled to understand where the plot was going. Personally, I feel like the first 100 pages of the book were filler and that there wasn't much character development. Honestly, I would have loved to get to know Will through a POV and not through short notes that barely said anything.
Will is a lovely man, I suppose, who shows all his love for Bridget and doesn't hide it. There's no way anyone can't tell how in love you are. Plus, he's really sweet and responsible with Bridget's cat, Ginger. However, he has a secret: Will isn't as "perfect" as he seems. And here's my problem. The secret wasn't really a secret. It was very obvious, and it's not a big deal. Bridget made a big deal out of nothing. Literally. Will had already submitted his resignation and told her that morning that he was going to do so.
On the other hand, there's Bridget. I had a huge conflict with her from the start. Although she is a fighter and does her best to move forward, she has a very childish attitude. Assume Will only left when Ginger was at the vet? Agree to go out with the vet and argue? Seriously, everything can be fixed by TALKING, but Bridget made the decisions of a 15-year-old. That really disappointed me, because if he's really thinking about his cat, he's looking out for her interests, not something absurd like agreeing to a date out of obligation. A false commitment, on top of that.
I can say, at least, that the narrative is simple and thoughtful. The read is quick, light, and entertaining, although a bit stressful. Looking at other reviews, There are two extremes here. You either hate the characters or you love them. Personally, I love Ginger, just because he's a cat. No one else. I'm so grateful to have received this ARC, but it was sorely lacking. :(

SPICE ALERT!
4.5 stars
Reply All by Caroline Frank is a spicy office romance between red-haired sweet, positive Bridget and the mysterious Will.
Bridget accidentally hits “reply all” to a ~20-person email. Will is the only one fast enough to see her "mistake" and he stars emailing her back with witty emails.
The book reminds me of movies The Devil Wears Prada and the Intern.
The 34 short chapters (5-10 pages) with fun titles like “Email Etiquette is a Real Thing” keep it breezy. Mark the spicy chapters 5, 15, 21, 24!
The book finishes with Ginger, Bridget’s Maine Coon, charming epilogue.
As a former merchandiser, the workplace drama and “pampering the clients” hit home, though pacing slows in conflicts.
Why You Should Read It: Perfect for Monday lovers, this rom-com delivers baby goat yoga, Buffy the Vampire Slayer flashbacks, and Audrey Hepburn nods for quirky, nostalgic fun. A must-read for sweet, spicy romance fans!

Bridget accidentally hits “reply all” to a ~20-person email. Will is the only one fast enough to see her "mistake" and he stars emailing her back with witty emails.
The book reminds me of movies The Devil Wears Prada and the Intern.
The 34 short chapters (5-10 pages) with fun titles like “Email Etiquette is a Real Thing” keep it breezy. Mark the spicy chapters 5, 15, 21, 24!
The book finishes with Ginger, Bridget’s Maine Coon, charming epilogue.
As a former merchandiser, the workplace drama and “pampering the clients” hit home, though pacing slows in conflicts.
Why You Should Read It: Perfect for Monday lovers, this rom-com delivers baby goat yoga, Buffy the Vampire Slayer flashbacks, and Audrey Hepburn nods for quirky, nostalgic fun. A must-read for sweet, spicy romance fans!

Thank you for the ARC! Tbh I was intrigued because of the cover 🤣 like it’s cute and gorgeous.
I really like the idea of finding love “virtually” like the email exchange is cutee. But I git the ick from their dirty texts because it was too early for them to do that in my opinion, like he’s a complete stranger on the internet just like you said. But I love how their relationship evolve from texting, video chatting, and the meeting in real life.
Bridgette “Bridge” - she’s independent, “silver lining” see the bright side of things typa gurl, and has a good principle on her life esp on her work ethic. But sometimes her response to Will seem condescending and she couldn’t understand the things that need to happen in life like Lena’s revenge and Will’s white lies. I can’t stand her lowkey. Her decision to almost date Declan also stupid lowkey. Her past should be talk about more tho in details what actually happened to her (left by her ex, mom, etc)
Will “Liam” - he’s a greenflag tho tbh, he always tries to understand her and handle everything gently. But he may be a little bit manipulative….the fact that I didn’t realize this would make me look dumb
GREGET BANGET, thankfully the Declan thing only happened briefly. I love the Ginger epilogue tho, so cute and out of the box.

Thank you BookFunnel for the opportunity of reading this book as an ARC. ♥️
Reply All is a sweet, tender and fast paced romance set in the office. When the FMC mistakenly answers an email with the « reply all » button, she does not expect a man to answer and, even less for that man to change her life.
I thought the FMC was adorable and relatable. Will, the MMC was also and their relationship wad super cute. The writing was engaging and you can tell the author actually knows about the fashion industry.
This being said, it was not a life changing romance. I’m a bit sad it fell to the old trap of the 70% unnecessary and born from miscommunication drama. I could really have done without that.
I do think as a romance book it’s solid but the miscommunication and the idea of « lies by omission is for your own good » got me rolling my eyes.

Actual Rating 3.5⭐
Between the trope list, blurb and the Devil Wears Prada comparison I was beyond excited for this book. Unfortunately as I read Reply All I was left slightly disappointed. The story had so much potential but it felt lacking in a few places.
The transition between Will & Bridget being random strangers talking via email, to strangers texting, to sexting, tovideo chatting, to meeting face to face felt like it progressed quickly. The sexting before evening seeing each other face to face felt unnecessary.
Bridget getting to the point she is in life, but not holding a job for more than a handful of MONTHS felt unrealistic.
Also I didn't fully understand Will concealing his true identity for so long.
Overall, I really wanted to like this book & the story could have been AMAZING but it just needed some more fine tuning.

ngl i only picked this up because of the cover... well, bridget is annoying af and both she and will are the king and queen of not communicating like would it kill them to just communicate to each other properly.. go girl give us miscommunication

Unfortunately, this book didn’t do much for me. It was a quick read but the plot and characters fell flat for me. It all started with an accidental reply all email by our main character, Bridget. Her relation with Will takes off rather quickly and we get some spicy scenes throughout the book. I liked the fashion portion of the book as I’m not familiar with any of it. I would have to say the best part of the book is, Ginger. A 25 pound Maine Coon, who trigger warning has a health scare but did help me get some good giggles out. She also gets her own chapter and honestly, it was adorable. This cover also slaps and I think that’s primarily what pulled me in and I have no guilt about that.
Thank you, Caroline Frank for providing me with this eARC!

Thank you for the ARC!!
I was really curious about this book, intrigued by the whole You’ve got mail vibe!!
Bridge and Will’s love is really instant, something I wasn’t expecting. Despite their mutual feelings, they tend to repress them. Miscommunication is, indeed, the key of this book. Kind of bit frustrating, especially because Will hides some important things, which frankly is not quite right.
You can practically feel their love, that’s for sure. With a sprinkle of spicy too. Romanticism permeates the pages.
I enjoyed this book, despite some things I really did not appreciate as I’ve mentioned above.
The writing was fast paced, enticing and interesting. A plot twist that gave some moments of tension. It was a good way to escape from stress and real life problems.

This book was not for me. I am not a fan of miscommunication throughout the majority of the book. It felt very repetitive and I had a difficult time getting through the last half. This was a cute workplace romance though.
I appreciate the author for providing this ARC.

The emails between Bridget and Will had me kicking my feet! The chemistry was just right and I kinda guessed the secret but honestly I loved knowing it early because I loved the build up of when the bomb dropped. Huge fan of Caroline’s writing style and how she can easily capture my attention after the first couple of pages!

Thank you so much to the author for giving me the opportunity to read this as an arc, that being said this is my honest review.
I truly felt like the concept & story were cute overall, but I feel like it needed more. I love the pen pal to lovers concept but it does progress more quickly than expected, especially the one text conversation. But I love Will & Bridge, and who could forget Ginger. The third act break up was glaring obvious and the resolution felt off/incomplete. I still feel as if Bridget is going to hold the issue over Will for time to come. The setting of the story also ends up being a side note and could've been worked into the story better.
I do love how well paced the story was and it kept me interested all the way through and not wanting to put it down (reading until I was falling asleep with my phone in my hand).

"Reply All" starts with a fun twist on a classic trope: a mistakenly sent “reply all” email sparks a secret connection between Bridget, a junior employee at a fashion company, and Will, a mysterious insider from a top client. What begins as a series of funny, anonymous email exchanges slowly turns into real feelings—and complicated consequences.
What I liked:
An accidental email? Romance in the inbox? Yes, please. The email exchanges were easily the highlight—charming, quick, and often genuinely funny. Although at first they felt a bit forced, they became really enjoyable to read as the story progressed. The fashion angle also added a refreshing twist, and Bridget’s ambition reminded me a bit of the protagonist from Confessions of a Shopaholic, with her enthusiasm for the industry and love for fashion.
What I didn't enjoy:
Unfortunately, the romance felt a bit underdeveloped. Bridget and Will’s chemistry seemed rushed, with little emotional build-up beyond attraction and a few sweet moments. The “secret identity” trope leaned more into deception than genuine tension, and Will’s speech about how “lying can sometimes be good” left me conflicted. Will started off as a total book boyfriend, but as the story went on and with all his continuous secrets (which honestly surprised me that Bridget didn’t press him on), plus his talk about lying, he began to slip into a gray area.
Bridget is portrayed as optimistic and driven, but many of her decisions felt immature or inconsistent. There were several moments where her actions didn’t quite make sense, mostly due to her constant contradictions—she’d make a decision, only to retract it shortly after. While this can be realistic in some contexts, her erratic behavior made it hard for me to connect with her emotionally. An example: when Will didn’t respond for a single day, she jumped to the conclusion that he didn’t love her anymore, even after they had shared a kiss and spent the entire night together following a pretty intense situation (which I won’t spoil).
The supporting cast didn’t stand out either. I initially thought Lena, her boss, would serve as a mentor figure—someone Bridget could rely on while navigating the fashion world. But as the story progressed, there were too many moments where I lost trust in her as a character. The conflict added some drama to the story, but not in the way I had hoped, which left me feeling unsatisfied. So when her final decision was revealed, I wasn’t even surprised.
Final thoughts:
Despite its flaws, the book is a fast, easy read with a light tone and just enough drama to keep things moving. If you’re in the mood for a spicy workplace rom-com with a modern twist and don’t mind some shallow character work, this could still be a fun pick for a lazy afternoon or a cozy evening on the couch.
Many thanks to the author for the opportunity to read this e-ARC.

First of all, thank you so much to Caroline Frank for the eARC! Also, can we take a moment to appreciate how stunning the cover art is? I was immediately drawn in.
This was my first book by Caroline Frank, and I found it to be a great introduction to her writing style. I really enjoyed the chemistry between Bridget and Will—their banter was so charming, and I loved how their relationship blossomed from friendship. The premise involving a reply-all email mishap was such a fun (although kinda embarrassing irl haha) setup that instantly pulled me in.
That said (minor spoilers ahead!), the third part of the book took a turn that was a bit difficult for me. Some of the character decisions were frustrating, and I personally struggled to empathize with a few of them—particularly Bridget’s friend Molly, who came off a little insincere at times. Will’s big reveal also caught me off guard. While I understand the complexity of his situation, I wished there had been more openness earlier on, especially given Bridget’s history and emotional vulnerability. It made the trust issues between them feel very real, though perhaps a bit hard to resolve quickly.
Overall, it was still an engaging read, and I look forward to checking out more from Caroline Frank in the future!

Oh, we’ve all been there—someone hits “reply all” when they definitely shouldn’t have. But what if that email mishap turned into the perfect online meet cute? This book was such a treat!
I absolutely loved the back-and-forth between Will and Bridget—first through emails, then text messages—as their connection grew from friendly to flirty and then into something more. Their relationship starts as a genuine friendship, which is exactly what both of them needed, and watching it evolve had me rooting for them the whole way.
Will holding back his true identity walked that tricky line between keeping a secret for the right reasons and just plain lying—but I think the way it was handled, and how they worked through it, felt really thoughtful and earned.
The story is told from Bridget’s first-person perspective, but every other chapter or so, we get a glimpse into Will’s thoughts. Sometimes it’s just a single line, sometimes more—but every time, it’ll make you swoon.

Vibes: 📧📱❤️🔥👜💔
Tropes: workplace romance / secret identity / strangers-to-friends-to-lovers / third act breakup
Rating: 4.25⭐
Spice Level: 🌶️🌶️ (few spicy conversations + open door scene)
Don't you hate when that one person hits "reply all" on an email? Well, turns out that is a great way to start probably my favorite rom com book. Yes, it did take me a few months to read this (I received it as an eARC before the publishing date), but that was only because the banter was so sharp and the chemistry was so 🔥 that I had to stop myself from reading at work because it was very distracting, if you know what I mean.
I loved the way that the relationship between Bridget and Will grows from a single email into texting into meeting in real life. I wish life would work out in that way for me that emailing a random person would result in a hottie boyfriend who is obsessed with me and my cat.
The only reason I'm not giving this a perfect five stars is because I was mad about the third act breakup. Yes, the ending was great and the epilogue from the point of Ginger 🐈 was adorable, but I wish there was another way to get to the ending without breaking Bridget's heart.

They say not to judge a book by it's cover but the cover is too cute to pass up, how can you NOT pick it up.
This was very cute and very romcom vibe-esque, however some parts did fall short.
For people who talk to each other alot, they sure dont know how to communicate and the premises of the book begins with an email gone wrong, which is a form of communication... so the irony of the whole situation is not missed.
And by communicate I mean instead of running circles around each other, just tell eachother how you feel, what you want, etc.
The over use of "friends" when they wanted to be anything but, almost made me want to bash my head in.
Also the big reveal wasn't even that deep, girl be so for real. How are you getting THAT upset/ breaking up over something so minor. Personally, I would be reaping in the benefits, like?
I'm glad they were able to sort through the "issues" and they got their happy ending.
Will's love for Bridget, once again being a reminder to how single AF my life is *sigh*
I did very much enjoy the ending.

I really enjoyed this book! I thought it was super cute and a fun read. I really enjoyed Will and Bridget’s relationship journey. How they met over email and then eventually became texting friends to them first meeting in person and eventually becoming friends to lovers! Adorable!
I could not get enough of Will! I would have loved his POV and wish it was dual POV. I really wanted to know what made him dislike his job so much and just more about him in general too.
He was just so swoony but possessive and a dirty talker. The banter between Bridget and Will was also great. The friendship bracelets were so cute and all of their inside jokes 🥹
Bridget was a hot mess but I was happy to see her growth throughout the book.
There are some twists and even though they were kind of obvious I still really liked this book and didn’t want to put it down.

Reply All is my first time reading a book by Caroline. It was a cute read.
Bridget is the fmc and she has not had an easy life. If something could go wrong it does, but she always tries to look on the bright side of everything.
Will is our mmc and he works as a CFO of the company the Bridget works for. He really hates his job.
Bridget friend gets her in the door for a job! She has always had a hard time holding a job and she really likes this job for a fashion company. What was sent as an accidental reply all email turns into a great pen pal type friendship with Will.
The romance in the book was ok....Bridget kind if got on my nerves a little bit because she was so back and forth. They never really just come out and tell each other how they feel so it turns into allot of miscommunication. I did like will and he was a dirty talker!!! My favorite side character was definitely Ginger the cat!
I would recommend this book to someone if they like workplace friends to lovers romance.
