"Wired Love" is a captivating novel that explores the world of telegraph operators and the ways in which technology can bring two people together. The story follows the correspondence between two operators, Nattie and Clio, who form a deep connection despite never meeting in person.
One of the most compelling aspects of the book is the portrayal of the limitations of communication technology in the late 19th century. The characters must navigate issues of trust, miscommunication, and the challenges of maintaining a relationship through written messages. The author does a wonderful job of capturing the excitement and frustration of early telegraphy, making the reader feel immersed in this unique world.
The romance between Nattie and Clio is both heartwarming and bittersweet, as they struggle to overcome the obstacles in their way. The author does an excellent job of developing their characters and creating a believable connection between them. The ending is both satisfying and poignant, leaving the reader with a sense of hope and nostalgia.
Overall, "Wired Love" is a delightful and thought-provoking read that explores themes of love, communication, and the power of technology to connect people. I highly recommend this novel to anyone looking for a unique and engaging romance.
