I was disappointed in this book because basically the two main characters lie to each other most of the time, meet at the end of the book, and then leave together without us reading more than 20 lines about it in all. Definitely not your typical romance, or at least not one that I like.

Sono rimasta delusa da questo libro, perché praticamente i due protagonisti si mentono per la maggior parte del tempo, si incontrano alla fine del libro e poi partono assieme senza che in tutto questo noi abbiamo letto piú di 20 righe a riguardo. Decisamente non il tipico romance, o almeno non uno di quelli che piacciono a me.

I received from the Publisher a complimentary digital advanced review copy of the book in exchange for a honest review.

Amy is a talented violinist but has stopped playing and is working in an old theatre in Edinburgh, determined never to play again . Then a quirk of fate brings Cameron, a talented photographer and they start to converse through e mails . Will their friendship develop into something else, will she ever pick up her violin again? An enthralling story of overcoming fears and recognising talents . Emily Kerr never fails to please.

I love a good you've got mail esque plotline. Amy and Cameron meet via an email typo and begin a correspondence, her in Edinburgh, him on a boat in Antarctica. A great meet cute.

I kept waiting for the chemistry to fly off the pages but ultimately this felt like two pen pals, or in some instances, felt like someone writing in a journal. The conflict didn't feel accurate or relatable and the characters didn't meet until the last chapter, we as the reader didn't really have a chance to even root for them as a couple. We get so much about her life but not as much from him, and, even amidst the lengthy letters, we don't really see them going deeper, delving close to the inevitable relationship that we're all anxiously waiting for.

A quick read with a fun premise but ultimately not for me.

Thank you Netgalley and HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter for the ARC in exchange for my review!

Thank you to NetGalley, HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter, and Emily Kerr for the opportunity to read the eARC of The Typo for my honest review.

The premise of the book is wonderful, and the comparison to You've Got Mail had me instantly intrigued as it is one of my favorite movies of all time. However, the comparison is not warranted. You've Got Mail at its core has something The Typo does not: a relationship that slowly builds over the course of the story and culminates in an epic, beautiful reveal of love. This book should not be categorized as 'Romance.' It felt more like a burgeoning friendship (which is honestly what the FMC needed over anything else, her friend group is absolutely horrible). Once you get over that, the book is enjoyable as something else entirely. The romantic aspect is completely in the background and while a relationship does blossom, there is not a lot of actual plot spent cultivating it. When the two characters do meet in person, this element seems forced because it's something the readers were told to expect and not something that feels like a natural progression.

I had a hard time connecting with the characters, but I did feel in bits for both Amy and Cameron. I kept finding myself wanting more throughout the book. That all being said, I look forward to seeing what Emily Kerr comes up with next!

Amy has settled in a job that she really doesn't enjoy because her musical dream was dashed two years before by a disastrous attack of nerves. She receives a missent email and is able to track down the intended recipient, who happens to be on an expedition in Antarctica. What begins as a simple email exchange develops into a friendship which in turn leads them both to move forward with their individual dreams. But there's also some conflict added in as far as honesty and trust are concerned.

This story was just an average read for me. It was sweet, and I liked the message of "be brave", believe in yourself and step out of your comfort zone, but I also found it lacking in depth and not very different from other "email relationship" books that I've read. While I did learn some about Amy's background, I finished the story not really feeling like I knew much about Cameron.

So overall, well-written with some sweet characters (including co-stars), but just not a lot of originality or spark for me.

My thanks to NetGalley and HarperCollins UK/One More Chapter for providing the free early arc of The Typo for review. The opinions are strictly my own.

I wanted to read a quick sweet and funny book, but unfortunately The typo wasn't like that. The beginning was so slow, i know in order to start talking with Cameron there should be a mistake. But it's so weird that she couldn't respond back to the email from Pixie Packwood, that there wasn't a phone number at least or that their website didn't work. Too cliché.

I really wanted to like this book, but it wasn't for me. Thank you HarperCollins One more chapter for my eArc in exchange for an honest review.

This book provided a delightful experience with its engaging exchanges between Amy and Cameron. However, the writing style didn't resonate with me, hindering my immersion in the story and connection with the characters. As the narrative picks up pace, primarily highlighting Amy's stagnant state, it takes a while for it to pick up momentum.

It just didn't seem like a romance to me!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this arc in exchange for an honest review!

Thank you Harper Collins UK - One More Chapter & NetGalley for the ARC!

The Typo was a cute romcom about an email mix-up between two people with similar names. Amy and Cameron develop a sweet relationship over email, but it turns out they both have secrets to hide! I appreciated the slow burn and the ending was a satisfying payoff!

Thank you again for the ARC!

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC!

I ended up DNFING this book. I adore epistolary romances but this one was really boring to me. I felt like nothing was really happening. I’m not usually a slow burn girl but this book just seemed slow.

This book checked so many boxes for me, in theory. I love an epistolary romance. Love a slow burn. A character in Antarctica?? Incredible. However, the writing style just wasn’t for me and it made me have a really hard time getting into the story and really caring for the characters.

That being said, I feel like something like writing style is a totally personal thing and still would recommend people at least check out a sample and see if it’s a better fit for you.

Thank you to the publisher & NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review an advanced copy of this book! I voluntarily read this book, and all thoughts and opinions are my own.

The Typo by Emily Kerr was a dazzling and kind hearted tribute to the romance genre.

The story begins with Amy Cameron, a solitarily woman living in Edinburg Scotland. Amy’s life definitely isn’t what she was hoping for. Once an accomplished classical musician, Amy hasn’t picked up her instrument in years after a crippling negative review. She also works at a job she has little passion for or influence in. To add further upset all of her friends have found their plus ones and are having the time of their lives while she watches from the sidelines, often forgotten by them. A twist of fate in the form of a mistyped email address presents an intriguing distraction to her otherwise unfulfilling life. The email in question is an opportunity for the intended recipient to showcase their art and thus Amy feels compelled to find this person gets their message. She has to do some digging but eventually finds who the email was meant for (Cameron.A vs her A.Cameron) and forwards it but at the last minute decides to invite Cameron to let her know how things work out.

This novel was so much fun. I loved the back and forth correspondence between Amy and Cameron and how while Amy tries to paint a picture of her life accidentally leads him to believe that it’s more exciting than it actually is. This forces her to deal with the fact that her life isn’t where she wants or needs it to be. I also loved when Amy finally realizes what she thought she wanted isn’t what she actually needed. For me books that show character growth and embrace characters becoming their more authentic selves are always an extra satisfying read and ones that I’ll suggest to other readers.

I really enjoyed reading this book. But it is being placed in the wrong genres because it is by no means a romance. Sure there is a romance aspect, but not until the last chapter when our main character and the love interest finally meet.

1. This book has a slow start. It really focuses on just how much of a rut Amy is in. Which, I did enjoy, even if it ran just a little too long. It really drive home just how much progress Amy makes through her story.
2. We get barely any time with Cameron. His story is only told through emails. And the emails are very stilted and hard to connect to.
3. Amy and Cameron don’t meet until the last 10% of the book. Once they finally meet we learn that’s everything about Cameron up until this book has been a lie.
4. The timing of the ending just doesn’t make sense. It ends just as things are getting good. We don’t get a resolve with any of the intermingling threads.

This book had so much potential. But ultimately it fell short.

This one just really didn't click for me—I went in expecting the romance to be rock solid and a major plot point of the entire story. But it felt like it was seriously lacking in that regard. There were moments that felt like the plot wasn't moving forward, and we were just getting filler scenes. I wish it would have held my attention more, but it fell flat for me, unfortunately.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an eARC of this title. These are my honest thoughts.

I enjoyed the aspect of this book it was something different that I haven't read before. I liked the ideas of the emails I thought that was something different. This book was just a bit slow for me and couldn't hold my attention. I enjoyed the characters and I connected to the mfc but I wish we seen more of her development.

I feel like this book lacked on the romance aspect and I wish we got to see more of that

I think that I would of enjoyed the book more if it had dual pov

This is the first book I have read by Emily kerr, but I don't think this book is for me

Overall, this book was a tricky read as it just didn't hold my attention at times

Thank you NetGalley and HarperCollins UK, One more chapter for providing me this Arc in return for an honest review

The Typo was such a fun read - I'm rapidly being converted to the world of the romcom. Amy's life isn't going particularly well - her friend group have all disappeared into domesticity, and her job as comms manager at a struggling Edinburgh theatre is hindered by a terrible boss. Her love life is nonexistent. So when she starts an almost accidental email correspondence with a stranger, thanks to the typo of the title, she quickly becomes quite invested.

I really enjoyed this. Amy was a likeable character, if a bit lacking in drive in some respects. The emails to and from Cameron, the stranger who's currently on a ship in the Antarctic (!), do stretch credibility a bit in terms of how quickly they develop a friendship-slash-relationship, but I was willing to go with it. The storyline around the theatre was fun to read, and I liked the Edinburgh setting.

Thanks for the opportunity to read and review!

I loved the premise of this book - I think it was a clever way to take the romance world and try to do something a bit unique with it.

The characters in this book, I found a bit hard to relate to. Amy has some redeemable qualities - she is intelligent, creative and cares deeply for her friends. At times I found her a bit annoying as she seemed to get a bit stuck in victim mode and I was desperate for her to get out of it.

I found Cameron quite hard to get to know, I think because most of the book you mainly get to know him through the form of emails between him and Amy. While the emails were interesting, they are written in an oddly formal way which I found hard to relate to.

I think I was expecting more romance from this book when in reality there is barely any.

We only get a couple of chapters where the couple are actually together and very little happens in those. So most of the book is based around the email exchange between the two characters.

It was an ok read, I enjoyed it although found the beginning a bit slow going but I was expecting more romance from it. I'm not sad I read it, but I wouldn't be in a rush to read it again.

Reading this book was way too exhausting for me ☹️☹️

!!𝗜 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘆 & 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗨𝗞 & 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿 𝗘𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗞𝗲𝗿𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗰 𝗶𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄!!

Our protagonist, Amy, working at a theater venue in Edinburgh, stumbles upon an email intended for someone else. Instead of ignoring it, she passes it along, sparking an unexpected correspondence that gradually draws her closer to the recipient, Cameron. Through their exchanges, Amy finds herself inspired to break out of her shell, reconnect with her passions, forge new friendships, and push her own boundaries. However, as the connection deepens, Amy wrestles with the guilt of having embellished aspects of her life in their initial emails, struggling to live up to the persona she's created for the stranger.

The letters exchanged between Amy and Cameron are a sheer delight. Cameron's vivid descriptions of life aboard the ship, encounters with wildlife, and quirky expedition members are both charming and humorous, while Amy's responses exude warmth and comfort, wrapping around the reader like a cozy blanket.

Amy's character development unfolds organically and is highly relatable. Her initial embellishments stem from a desire to inject excitement into her life, a sentiment many can empathize with in the realm of online interactions. As she navigates the challenges of becoming "Amy 2.0," grappling with fear and self-doubt, her journey feels authentic and resonant. What sets this narrative apart is Amy's eventual honesty and accountability for her actions, a refreshing departure from the typical trope of lies unraveling catastrophically.

The addition of Henry, a charming and supportive friend to Amy, adds depth and warmth to the story, further enriching the narrative.

While the ending felt somewhat rushed, it did little to detract from the overall enjoyment of the book. "Love Across the Miles" is a thoroughly enjoyable read, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone in search of a heartwarming and uplifting tale.

A sweet romance. Who hasn't accidentally sent an email to the wrong person? But what if when you receive that wrong email you send it on to the right person and that ends up being the love of your life? well for our MMC and MFC Amy and Cameron this just might be the case.

I recommend this to anyone who wants a quick, easy sweet read. I enjoyed it.
