About the Book
"Millie Chandler is known at work as the nice receptionist who got dumped by the company hotshot, and ever since then, she has vowed to keep everything to herself: her feelings, her hopes, and especially her fears. But Millie does have an outlet: her emails. From sarcastic replies to her rude boss, rants to friends about their terrible taste in men to a five-hundred-word love declaration to her ex, who three years on, is about to marry someone else. Millie's reality lives in her drafts until the morning she discovers that they are somehow in her sent folder. The truth is out. As every dark secret she's worked so hard to keep password-protected is released, Millie must fix the chaos her words have caused"--Book Synopsis
So many ways to torpedo your career and your love life... So little time. A woman accidentally reveals all her secrets in this witty and charming novel from the author of Eight Perfect Hours. Two years ago, thirty-year-old receptionist Millie Chandler had her heart spectacularly broken in public. Ever since, she has been a closed book, vowing to keep everything to herself--her feelings, her truths, even her dreams--in an effort to protect herself from getting hurt again. But Millie does write emails--sarcastic replies to her rude boss, hard truths to her friends, and of course, that one-thousand-word love declaration to her ex who is now engaged to someone else. The emails live safely in her drafts, but after a server outage at work, Millie wakes up to discover that all her emails have been sent. Every. Single. One. As every truth, lie, and secret she's worked so hard to keep only to herself are catapulted out into the open, Millie must fix the chaos her words have caused, and face everything she's ever swept under the carpet. With her signature "tender and heartwarming" (Anstey Harris, author of When I First Held You) prose, Lia Louis presents another unforgettable and moving novel that is perfect for fans of Rebecca Serle and Emily Henry.Review Quotes
"Adorably addictive! Sometimes happily ever afters have messy beginnings--and I am here for it! BETTER LEFT UNSENT is best read with a clear schedule because it's an up-all-nighter. Who needs sleep when you can read Lia Louis stories?"--Annie Rains, USA Today bestselling Author of THROUGH THE SNOW GLOBE and THE CHARMED FRIENDS OF TROVE ISLE
"Who among us hasn't accidentally sent an email we wished we hadn't to the wrong person? This cringe-worthy setup -- the premise of Lia Louis' BETTER LEFT UNSENT -- blossoms into a charming story about living with authenticity, owning our mistakes, and being brave enough to stop chasing love...and to let it find us instead."--Jodi Picoult, New York Times bestselling author
"No one writes a romcom like Lia Louis. Better Left Unsent is beyond wonderful; so funny, so sweet, very, very romantic, and somehow managed to make me feel better about every email I've ever sent accidentally (I've sent a lot of accidental emails). Lia is and always will be my autobuy author, this is the perfect book to brighten up your day."--- Lindsey Kelk, internationally bestselling author
"I am such a huge Lia Louis fan. BETTER LEFT UNSENT is an absolutely gorgeous, laugh-out-loud, heartwarming tale of a life fully lived, with one of the smartest rom-com concepts I've ever come across. Such a joyous read."--Beth O'Leary, internationally bestselling author of THE WAKE-UP CALL
"Such a brilliant premise and an unrelenting delight! I opened this one to peek and ended up reading it in one, breathless sitting. Voicy, hilarious, vulnerable, and triumphant, BETTER LEFT UNSENT is an absolute blast. Pure romance magic!"--Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of THE PARADISE PROBLEM

This book was super cute! I loved the interaction between Millie and Jack and I absolutely loved the ending(trying not to give out spoilers here). I wish there would have been more of them together though. I also thought the story dragged in a few places and I was ready to push it along a little bit. All in all, it was so good and I am glad I read it. I will definitely be reading the rest of this author's books. I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
An Entertaining Read!

Imagine your worst nightmare happens when your draft emails are sent by a glitch in the system at work. Millie wrote draft emails to vent, not ever intending to send them. Now that all 105 emails have been sent, she will have to face the consequences. It brings out all kinds of drama as truths are revealed. Ralph, her roommate and friend, is the one who she goes to as she can lean on him for advice. Is her life over? Will people understand or will they be offended? Will they seek revenge? This book will have you turning the pages to find out Millie’s fate! This light-hearted book will have you laughing from the start and rolling your eyes at the sane time! It’s a clever, highly entertaining story that is hard to put down! A great book to take on vacation!
