Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Written in the time-honored epistolary style but with a modern twist, St. Claire's entertaining tale introduces three women and the men who love them (or not) through e-mail messages. Amber is in advertising, and she is facing her 10-year high-school reunion. She puts her information on an Internet classmate finder and is soon in touch with the bad boy she has never forgotten. He is totally not what she is looking for, but as his e-mails get steamier, she reconsiders her options. Stephanie is a stay-at-home mom who's terribly lonely and worried that her husband is having an affair. Amber gives her e-mail to a former coworker Stephanie almost slept with, and their relationship rekindles online. Julie is a divorced empty nester now working as Amber's assistant, and she, too, decides to use the computer to look up an old flame. It's amazing how well the cyber format delivers the story and how provocatively St. Claire raises such searching questions as "Is a cyber romance cheating?" Maria Hatton

The Best Reviews.com One book you don't want to miss!

Chicklitbooks.com Hit Reply was amazing. Not only did each character have their own distinctive voice, but the characters were hilarious, amusing, and realistic. The story line itself was absorbing and fun....an irresistibly funny story. With memorable characters and surprising plot twists, causing the reader to laugh, cry, and get a smile on their face that just doesn't go away until hours after they've finished the book.

TheBestReviews.com This book is written entirely in e-mails and IMs (instant messages). At first I wasn't sure I'd enjoy the format, but after a few pages, it was almost like sitting down at my own computer and catching up with friends. I really got to know not only the three main characters, but others in the book as well. I found it entertaining, romantic and with surprising emotional depth. If you've ever found comfort in an e-mail from a friend or thought about 'googling' that cute guy from high school, you'll enjoy this book.

The BestReviews.com Hit Reply is a phenomenal story that will not only tickle your funny bone, but touch the deepest parts of your heart and soul. Even though the story is all emails and instant messaging, you don't really miss a thing because Ms. St. Claire fills in the blanks that don't happen on screen perfectly...the best story I have ever read. Engrossed in the story is an understatement! Once I started, I never stopped reading until I turned the very last page. A story that has you laughing out loud one minute, then tearing up the next. Hit Reply is one book you don't want to miss.

I KNOW each one of these characters. Including Eva Braun. Loved it. I've done the reconnect with an old passion and it was through email, IMs and text messages. He was Tom and I am definitely Stephanie. But I loved Ambers and Greys story. I wish I could find someone like him.

HIT REPLY by Rocki St Claire

June 25, 2005

Rating 3/5 stars

I've read a few epistolary books so far, and only one has been what I consider a four or five star book. HIT REPLY by Rocki St Claire is not that book. It was the type of book where I didn't care much about the characters, with way too many characters to begin with to focus on. There are two leading women in the story. The first one (and the one I consider the main character) is Amber Fleece, a 20-something woman who is in love with an old flame, a songwriter. Unfortunately, he lives miles away and is involved with another woman, who he lives with. So, Amber and Gray Instant Message and write emails to each other, sending sexy emails back and forth to one another.

Amber used to work for Stephanie Hilliard, who is now an at-home mom married to a high power executive of a hotel chain, an executive who is on his way to becoming the CEO. Stephanie finds her life lacking, does not feel any love coming from her husband, and finds herself attracted to a married man who is a high-powered management person that works at the same company that Amber works for, and THEY email and do instant messaging. She feels she's being unfaithful, but is not sure where to draw the line. She has NOT seen him in years but still remembers the near-close encounter they had years ago. Apparently, he hasn't forgotten either.

There is a third woman in this story, Julie, who is the assistant to Amber. I really felt that Julie's story was almost not necessary in the scheme of things, and did not fit in at all. Why was her story even being told? It did read like her story was added to make this a BOOK, as opposed to a short story. Julie is a divorced mother in love with a baseball player who she had a fling with years ago. She's in her 40's now and would love to see him again but is not sure how she will look to him, 20 years later.

The entire book is in email/instant messaging form. Although I loved this format with Meg Cabot's THE BOY NEXT DOOR, HIT REPLY just did not work for me. It WAS a fast read, and I thank God for that, otherwise I would have given it a lower rating. It's a definite beach read, and even for chick lit, some may find it lacking. I was rather shocked to see the "high" ratings this book got here on Amazon. HIT REPLY was an "ok" book, but I'm not really recommending it as there are plenty of better "chick lit" books out there that are funnier and have characters that I care about.

Wow...what a great book. Zoomed through it in three days. Lost a lot of sleep and missed my train stop one day, but the book was emotionally satisfying to the last page. Rocki St. Claire really nailed it with this book about two women and their relationship that we, the reader, get to view voyeuristically through their e-mails and instant messaging. I felt like I had hacked into someone's computer and was reading all of their personal e-mail, reading things I shouldn't getting all of the delicious office gossip, who was zooming who and what was going on in these character's lives...but I couldn't stop myself. An excellent read and worth every minute spent on it. Put it in your cart...NOW!

I do NOT read chick lit to read about cancer, and I would never have bought this book if I knew that was a subject of this book, especially for a woman in her twenties.

Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2005
Another entry into the chick lit genre. This one is made up entirely of email exchanges.

I found it a little confusing in the beginning to figure out which character was emailing and to whom. After a while you get use to it though.

While there was some clever exchanges, this book is a bit standard stuff for chick lit. The only exception being the bad news delivered to one of the main characters. I hate serious bad news in chick lit. I read this stuff to relax me and reading about bad stuff just stresses me out. So, this is one of the reasons I give it a 3 star rating.

Also, there are so many characters in this story that you never really get into any of it cauz you are constantly switching voices.

This is ok stuff, but don't spend your money on it. Get it at the library.
