Connect: Book Two

By Nan McCarthy

The story of Bev and Max continues...

In the second novel of her acclaimed series, author Nan McCarthy continues the wild ride that began in Chat. It's now 1996, and Bev and Max, two strangers who met online, find their lives unexpectedly intertwined. As their words and actions propel them into unexplored territory, Bev and Max's relationship grows more intense--and more complex--than they ever imagined.

Praised as "a lively, free-flowing, spontaneous outburst of curiosity, anxiety and hope," the story of Bev and Max unfolds entirely through their online messages. Readers once again find themselves unable to resist the temptation to "eavesdrop" on the pair's sexually charged, humorous, and thought-provoking exchanges. In a time before Facebook, Skype, and Twitter, when there were no status updates, no photos, no tweets, no video chats, all Bev and Max have to share with one another are their words--or so it may seem.

In this newest edition of her Chat, Connect, and Crash series, McCarthy offers up a snapshot of the mid-1990s Internet culture and its changing dynamic of human interaction. As Bev and Max gradually reveal themselves by what they choose to say--and leave unsaid--their seductive, addicting, and all-too-human adventures will draw you from first page to last.

Customer Reviews

The whole cybertrilogy was fabulous!

I found the first book at a book sale through work. I had to special order the other two, but it was well worth it. I thoroughly enjoyed each book. I met my boyfriend online and though in a much different way, I could relate to the characters. Very easy and quick read. I highly recommend! :-)

Quick fascinating reads

I found the whole series of these books to fantastic and well written. They are short but they make great books to read while you are in line at the bank or whatever.The characters are believable and I could relate with their feelings and emotions very well. I recommend this whole little series.

Romance is dangerous business for your heart

The second novel of her cyberseries "connect" develops Bev's and Max's relationship, redifining the boundries of their romance. I loved this book but it must be read in sequence. McCarthy uses words and emoticons to express the feelings of each character without the need of introspection, inner monologues or descriptions. The ease with which the characters "speak" to each other is wonderful and natural. Could not put it down. Couldn't wait to pick up the next one and find out what happens to them.

Amazing time we live in

This is the first time I found an author who based her stories on a chat line story. An it was so well written that the minute you start reading it, you simply can not put it down!!! It doesn't matter the age, or sex, this serie will appeal to everybody.

A worthy sequel

The sequel to Chat starts in an extremely one-sided manner, but continues in the same strain as Chat, both in content and in style. Brilliant stuff
