Ligações by Rainbow Rowell
An IT security officer in the late 1990s whose job is to monitor employees' emails becomes quietly captivated by the candid, funny correspondence between two coworkers; as he reads their messages he falls for one woman without her knowing, wrestling with the ethics of surveillance, his own shyness and past hurts, and the hope of finding a real connection in an era of early internet intimacy. The story mixes gentle humor and melancholy as his secret voyeurism forces him to reexamine his friendships, family history, and what it means to risk reaching out.
