I love books where the characters have not met and fall in love through correspondences. This was cute and had we reaching for the end to see how they work things out!

This was a cute and low stakes romance. The MCs were cute and sweet. The premise was a mistaken email address with Amy and Cameron sharing almost the same email address and somehow becoming penpals when Amy forwards an mis-sent email to Cameron. They start to chat and learn more about each other as their correspondence grows more consistent and intimate.

They both undergo some growth, Amy more so than Cameron, as she is the POV character.

The secondary characters are not terribly fleshed out. The story is somewhat predictable but that did not make it boring. It was a nice, light, low stakes read that passed the time and was enjoyable.

I actually forgot I didn't rate this one, but I read it a while ago.

I can't say it made a huge impact on me romance-wise, but I loved the character development Amy had.

The story begins when Amy Cameron, a marketing executive for a formerly prestigious concert hall in Edinburgh, receives an email meant to someone else with a similar name, Cameron A. The email was a huge opportunity for a photographer, and she tracked him down and they started exchanging emails from around the world.

Amy was a former musician who abandoned her talent because of stage fright, and the book sees her slowly rediscover her passion for music. Cameron himself wasn't who he wanted to be, and the book inspires both of them to be better people.

I felt like some of the book dragged too much and the romance between them felt a bit forced, maybe they should've been friends? They didn't have photos of each other, didn't have a single video call because Amy chickened out, but somehow fell madly in love.

Back-and-forth correspondence novels aren't so popular nowadays, but I miss them, and it was fun reading their emails. Just the romance part was kind of lacking.

An interesting concept for a romance and i loved it, however it wasn’t executed brilliantly and the main characters didnt seem to have any real chemistry. However still a good read if you’re looking something light and quick

I love Emily Kerr books and The Typo might be my favourite so far. Such a brilliant concept, perfectly executed.

A small typo in an email, means the intended recipient doesn't receive it, but instead it has landed in Amy's inbox. And being the totally awesome human she is, she does some searching and forwards the email to who she believes is the correct recipient.

Who is Cameron. Somewhere in the Antarctic on a ship, with patchy signal. A talented photographer living his best life.

Amy and Cameron become pen pals and it's so gorgeous to see their connection develop and deepen. So romantic.

Which The Typo totally is. But not in a sickly sweet way. Amy is too real to be the swooning heroine. She's vulnerable and relatable.

And she's also dishonest. But for noble reasons.

As Amy and Cameron continue emailing one another, Amy begins to take risks again, to prioritise herself and to laugh again. And this is a huge part of the love story. Watching Amy begins to believe in herself again was just magical.

There's so much more to the story of Amy and Cameron, but I'm not giving any spoilers.

The Typo was everything I want in a book from beginning to end.

I thought this was very good and I will have to add this to the shop shelves. Thank you for the chance for us to review.

I had to DNF this one.. Characters were weird, dialogue was odd and the romance was non-existent. This does not give you've got mail vibes at all...

Thanks to the Publisher and Netgalley for an early review copy.

I loved reading this book.

The story was well written, kept you turning the pages and I loved the characters too, wanting them to be real people.

I highly recommend this book.

I really enjoyed this book and it kept me gripped to the end. Great characters and a really lovely ending. Recommended.

"The Typo" by Emily Kerr is a captivating tale of unexpected connections and the power of love. The novel follows Amy and Cameron, two individuals who have never met, yet find their lives intertwined after a fateful email mix-up. While Cameron leads an adventurous life navigating expeditions around Antarctica, Amy's world is rooted in Edinburgh. As their connection deepens, the story raises thought-provoking questions about the possibility of falling in love with someone you've never met. Kerr skillfully weaves a tale that explores the nuances of human relationships and the captivating nature of unexpected connections. With compelling characters and an engaging storyline, "The Typo" takes readers on a heartfelt journey of discovery and the complexities of love.

You know, I'm not sure how I feel about this one...

There are a lot of things I love about it: the premise, the mix up, the correspondence between our two main characters, the slow reveal of our main character's backstory and building into her character development. Even the hope that it inspires is lovely.

But I'm left feeling a little let down. And I'm not entirely sure why. Is it the dishonesty running through causing tension and driving the story/character development? Is it the fact that it just very quickly gets buttoned up at the end without enough plot to make it make sense?

Overall, it's a lovely little story to get lost in. And if you're a sucker for the correspondence trope (think Love, Rosie) then you'll probably really enjoy it. It's worth a shot. And honestly, you'll probably get wrapped up in it and wonder what I'm even talking about until the last few chapters anyway. So have at it!

Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to review this title. This held much promise, seemed like the kind of book I would enjoy and read in a day, but I did not. It felt blah, missing something.

"The Typo" by Emily Kerr is a charming and relatable romantic comedy that explores how one small mistake can lead to unexpected and delightful consequences.

Emily Kerr delivers a delightful story that reminds us that sometimes, the best things happen when our plans go a little off course. Perfect for readers who enjoy a lighthearted romance with plenty of laughs and a dash of serendipity.

Thank you netgalley for allowing me to read and review this book. A sweet rom-com about two people 'meeting' via a mistaken email. Good concept for a story but something, not 100% sure what, seems to be missing from it. Still worth a read.

Really great romance book for lovers of a cute and cozy romance. The premise was definitely interesting and ended up being completely different from what I expected which I loved!

This book was a lot of nothing. The romance was barely there and the story was not enough to keep me reading.

The Typo by Emily Kerr

I received an advance review copy for free thanks to NetGalley and One More Chapter and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Blurb

One typo. Two complete strangers. Ten thousand miles between them…

Amy and Cameron have never met. But when Amy receives an email meant for Cameron, their lives entwine in ways they could never have imagined.

Cameron lives a life of adventure as he navigates an expedition around Antarctica whilst Amy’s life is firmly on solid ground in Edinburgh.

As their connection grows, Amy finds herself asking; is it possible to fall in love with someone you’ve never met?

My Opinion

For me this was an interesting concept - it all starts with a typo in an email address. Both Amy and Cameron have things that they are hiding but the majority of their communication takes place via email due to the distance between the pair. Amy works as a marketing manager for a struggling theatre whilst Cameron is on an expedition in Antarctica and I really enjoyed reading Cameron's emails for updates on his trip.

For me this was a lovely read that I mostly finished in one sitting. I just couldn't help but want to read on to find out how everything would play out.

Rating 4/5

A charming and lighthearted romance that explores the connection of two strangers who are brought together by a simple email typo. I loved the delightful email correspondence between Amy and Cameron and how they got to know each other.
Many thanks to HarperCollins and to Netgalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

When I seen this was a You've Got Mail esque book I requested the ARC immediately..

I am a romance lover and this story just didnt have any?

I loved the email aspect except they felt like colleagues instead of people falling in love - there was so much potential for witty banter and flirting and it just lacked.

thank you to netgalley and the publisher for kindly providing me an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!!

Amy is working in an Edinburgh theatre but she's actually a violinist but had a bad experience. She receives an email with a wrong address. She tries to find out who it's actually for and sends it to Cameron and they start correspond through emails. Lovely book
