A massive hit in the U.K., "Holly's Inbox" -- a novel told entirely via e-mail -- has drawn the inevitable comparisons to "Bridget Jones' Diary." And not only because both books' titular heroines are boozy self-saboteurs: "Holly's Inbox" -- just out here in the US -- has been published in six languages, spawned a sequel, and is likely to become a movie

My favorite person of all has got to be Holly's granny. I have one questions...What do you get when your granny gets introduced to the wonderful world known as the world wide web? The answer is...a hilarious good time.
I want to thank Holly for letting me into her world and specifically her email inbox. What a hoot. I started this book on a Sunday morning and b evening I had finished it. I couldn't put it down. With Holly's Inbox this is the first time that I have read a whole book, where it was composed up of just emails. Holly has some of the greatest friends. Her family makes me glad mine is normal compared to her's. I can't wait to read more of Holly's adventures. I mean come one who hasn't waited to read someone else's emails. Now you can without getting in trouble. So the next time you are looking for a good laugh then you have to read Holly's Inbox.

This book was so unique. In first glancing at the book you might be put off or overwhelmed by the heft of 665 pages but they fly by so quickly you’re left wondering why there isn’t any more.
If you’re a fan of chick lit then this is a must read for you
Book Foolery

"Unbelievably, compulsively readable. It's very much like peeking into someone else's mailbox, but not quite so cryptic as real-life emails can be. Excellent, nearly impossible to put down, with great characters, loads of laughs and a little scandal."

Socrates Book Review
http://socratesbookreviews.blogspot.com/2009/07/hollys-inbox-by-holly-denham.html
I would love to see a sequel of this book. The best way to describe this book is that it’s a bit different, fun and not to be read in public (you’ll find yourself laughing out loud and people will wonder what’s wrong with you)

It felt real. I could actually see these things happening and I found it very intriguing. I also found it to be LOL funny as well.
Watching as Holly makeover her way through a rivalry with a fellow co-worker, her issues w/ someone who ends up being not who she thought, and her budding friendship with Trish was great

Likes Books
http://www.likesbooks.com/cgi-bin/bookReview.pl?BookReviewId=7375
The tone of her emails is so amusing that it's difficult not to like her.
At first I wondered how I would cope with nearly 700 pages inside the mind of a heroine who seemed clueless and more than a little dysfunctional, but, as the book continued, I discovered more to Holly than my first impression led me to believe.
Reading through Holly's emails takes the reader into Holly's world - wacky family, moderately off-kilter friends and all. However, beyond the almost stereotypical characters, one starts to see that Holly's friends may have messy lives, but they're staunchly devoted to her, have great senses of humor, and help one another out. And the more one gets to know the various characters in Holly's life, the more one starts to like them.

This isn’t your typical ChickLit book, but if you’re a fan of the genre (as I am!), you will love this book. This book has it all from romance to friendship… to ties with crazy family members… to the frustration of dealing with unbearable bosses and gossipy co-workers. Every tid bit of the book is JUICY and fun! It’s very different in format, but brings everything you need in a story alive one email at a time.

What a remarkable book!
I am sure that this book will be compared to Bridget Jones’s Diary, but needs to be read and considered in its own right. It is a different story involving different individuals and different story lines. You should definitely read this book and judge it for yourself. I think you will be pleasantly surprised by how much you enjoy it.

You follow Holly as she navigates the world of corporate bankers while trying to juggle her eccentric friends and clueless family members. The book is a fast read. Don't let the size of the 665 page book scare you. Written in email form makes Holly's Inbox a fast, fun read. Perfect book for the beach this summer!

A Seriously Reviewed
http://seriouslyreviewed.blogspot.com/2010/08/hollys-inbox-scandal-in-city-by-holly.html?zx=25b5454fdd13d817
Review: WOW! I had never read a story written like this. Have heard of them but never partaken. Like the blurb says the story is written entirely in email form, so I felt like I was snooping in peoples in-boxes and reading their emails. It was kind of cool :)
The story? Oh it was there. It was funny, witty, laugh-out-loud, want-to-know-what-happens-right-now type of tale. There were times when I wanted to grit my teeth because I wanted to know "see" what was going to happen but I had to wait until it was discussed in an email to "hear" about it. With twists and turns and an ending I did not see coming. THIS STORY ROCKED!!!
