Sorry, but No.
I have read Emily's books before and then I found them cute.
This one? Sorry to tell you that, but naive...

The idea is awesome, though. The typo what makes them reconsolidate and meet, accident with started the domino.
But beside that, it was soooo flat.
I even expected to hear something more about Edinburgh, the place I adore, but honestly... nope.

The Typo is a sweet romance between Amy, who accidentally receives an email meant for Cameron, a photographer in Antarctica. Amy and Cameron are both likable characters, and I found myself rooting for them till the end.

I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

DNF'd at 30%
I tried so hard to enjoy this book. The premise and the idea of the characters were both set up to be great! However, the execution needed some work. Every sentence felt like it was dragging on for hours. Our main characters felt underdeveloped. The story felt very cyclical, and not in the fun callback later way. I love mistaken communication tropes but this one was not doing it for me.

I really enjoyed this story! Amy & Cameron have a unique meet-cute that lasts most of the first half of the book via email correspondence. I really connected with Amy, as this story is from her pov. her accepting some unwanted changes in life really resonated, especially with the bittersweet ending of friendships. I loved the way she found a true friend in Cameron before they become something more.

I would’ve liked to see more of Cameron’s story/ perspective in this, it felt very one sided for most of the book since it was only one pov, and I really loved the bits we got of Cameron! the hilarious & lovely emails from his excursion gave bright spot to the everyday of Amy’s life and the story!

overall, I really loved this story! I wanted more romance throughout the story, but it is so well-written, with a completely lovely main character who goes through some authentic, emotional, completely lovely character development, both on her own and in her budding relationship with Cameron.

thank you for the arc :)

I had to DNF. I just couldn’t get into it and I sadly wasn’t feeling the characters. I hate when this happens but this book just wasn’t for me.

I'm torn with this book, I can't decide whether I liked it or not! I flitted throughout from loving the characters and wanting them to do well, to getting so annoyed by them and just wanting to finish the book! The fact I finished the book says something, as if I'd not liked it I would have stopped.

The premise is great a chance meeting (via email) with a stranger due to a typo in an email address to Amy Cameron, which sets her on the search for the correct A Cameron, or as it turns out Cameron A, they exchange emails and build a relationship, but not without its trials as is the way of life.

I liked Amy, but did find her very frustrating at times, but did feel for her situation. Cameron came across well in the book, but I was always waiting for some dark secret (maybe that's because I've read too many thrillers), I think the story needed a bit more pace for my liking.

If you want a nice easy read this summer then this is the book for you.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this ARC

A rom-com where the protagonists don't meet until the very end. It was a bit of a slog to get through. As other reviewers noted, it was more stream of consciousness. I had so many questions about the characters that weren't answered, like WHY?? In some ways Amy seemed so together and in other ways I just wanted to ask why she was doing something.

I loved The Typo! I find these types of reads with text exchanges so fun, and I don't mind a bit of misunderstands as a trope. I loved the characters and the story drew me right in.

I am a sucker for these types of stories. The unintentional miscommunication, the ‘mistaken’ identities, the writing to each other while secretly developing feelings. It was a swoony but also highly relatable and dove into deeper topics, which I really appreciated. This one hit home!

Dnf @20%

It just wasn’t for me. I am sure I would be able to give this one another chance some time but as of right now. It wasn’t the time.

This is one of those 5 star reads where by the end of reading the book I was like 1 I did not see that being the plot twist and 2 I need this book on my bookshelf, I need a physical copy. It was just so good, like the depth of emotions we see through Amy and her battle with esteem and anxiety I think it was just written so well that she did feel like a real person who I was rooting for along the way. This was a perfect read for my stressful week as it was cute, sweet, funny, heart warming and went deeper than I thought it would.

Word cannot describe this book for me as I just totally loved it and would recommend it to everyone.

Such a fun vibrant read. Really felt I could resonate with fmc and her perfectionism. I liked seeing her progression in the book I think it was done beautifully. I did have a busy month where I had to keep leaving the book for a long period of time- it did lead me to find it difficult to getting into the book. However I’m chalking that up to having a long break in between chapters.

Excellent writing style, really funny and witty.

"The Typo" by Emily Kerr offers an interesting concept but struggles to make a lasting impact. I found the characters quite annoying, making it hard to form a connection. An average read with fleeting moments of charm.

I was pleasantly surprised by this book from how much I enjoyed it!! Definitely kept me entertained and the characters had a large part in that with their vibrant personalities. I’m glad I got a chance to read the book!

Amy Cameron lives in Edinburgh and is the marketing and communications manager for the Variety theatre. Previously an aspiring violinist, a negative review a few years ago led to her packing her violin away and feeling like a failure. It doesn't help that her job is in trouble as the theatre isn't bringing in money like it used to and her friends are all in relationships and it feels like they are edging her out.

When she receives an email opportunity meant for photographer "Cameron A", she feels bad that it hasn't made it to its intended recipient and she searches to see if she can forward it on. She sends it to photographer Cameron Armstrong who is currently travelling around Antarctica on a job and the two exchange emails, sort of like pen pals.

The plot was lovely and I really liked Amy's growth and development. I felt like the emails could have given me more depth and feelings but it is an entertaining slow burn all the same!

A digital meet cute is something I didn't know I needed in a romance book. Not seeing each other and falling in love via email for months gave the best combination of You've Got Mail with Love is Blind. But as sweet and adorable as this was, the romance between Amy and Cameron was not the main love story of The Typo. This book was about Amy falling in love with herself.
I could almost painfully relate to Amy's perfectionism and it was so cathartic to read her journey of self love and acceptance. Amy found her stride, learning to listen to herself and trust her own judgement (and a few new and old friends along the way).
I felt so much joy reading about the céilidh, the success of Amy's business plan, every interaction with her neighbor and his cats, and I adored the Edinburgh theater setting.
An absolutely delightful read!

Eeek this was a DNF for me a little over halfway through. I tried really hard to not quit but I found myself feeling like I *had* to read it, not that I *wanted* to read it, and I gave up after about two weeks of picking it up and barely getting anywhere each time I read because I always found something better to do.

The premise of this book is super cute, meeting unexpectedly via a typo in an email address and carrying on conversation. Unfortunately, there just wasn't anything really likable about the characters and it was more of a boring telling of every day life. I read another reviewer's thought mentioning that a dual POV could have helped this story and I do think that's a great idea.

I also really hate miscommunication/lying for no reason and that was quite annoying throughout Amy's emails.

A good summer read
An amusing read with the 2 main characters exchanging emails while following Amy's life.
Will be looking out for more books by Emily Kerr
Thank you netgalley

Emily Kerr writes a great book. This is my first one of hers and I’ll be coming back for more. The characters were so well written and it read so quickly

This book had such potential....I love a good pen pal story. However this one fell flat for me. Needed more romance and more 'meet in person' time with both characters. I also didn't connect with the characters. Meh.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.
