In the days before Facebook, Skype, and Twitter…Two strangers begin a conversation online. It’s 1995, and the Internet is new and uncharted territory. No status updates, no photos, no tweets, no video chats. All they have to share with one another are their words.Max, a restless advertising copywriter who’s new to the online world, boldly strikes up an email conversation with Bev, a tough-minded book editor who’s been online since the ’80s. With charm, wit, and persistence, Max chips away at Bev’s reluctant façade until the two are sharing secrets they wouldn’t dream of telling anyone in “real life.”Hailed as “Silicon Valley’s Story of O,” the story of Bev and Max’s relationship gradually becomes more intense, unfolding entirely through their online messages. Since Chat’s first publication in 1995, readers have found themselves unable to resist the temptation to “eavesdrop” on Bev and Max’s increasingly intimate correspondence as she slowly opens up to him and he becomes more fascinated by her. This newest edition of the acclaimed Chat, Connect, and Crash series offers a snapshot of the emerging technology and online culture of the 1990s, but the story of Bev and Max is—above all else—timeless.
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.
Bev and Max can’t turn back now… or can they?The unforgettable adventure chronicled in Chat and Connect, the first two novels in Nan McCarthy’s cyber series, continues in a third installment that’s as fast-paced and addicting as ever. The year is 1997, and readers are once again invited to “eavesdrop” on Bev and Max’s private correspondence. When their story began, the unlikely pair—two strangers who met online—had nothing to share but their words. Now, following the path set in motion by their increasingly intimate exchanges, they must contemplate the consequences of their deepening relationship. Filled with sexual tension, suspense, and humor, Bev and Max’s messages arouse in them a desire to do and say things they’d never have dreamed of before their lives intersected.This newest edition of the trilogy features McCarthy’s original ending to Crash as it was written in 1997. Its first time in print, the uncut conclusion offers readers an insider’s glimpse of Bev and Max as they were meant to be seen—at their most human, vulnerable, and authentic.Heralded as “Chekhov for the ‘90s,” with “fully drawn, believable characters,” the story of Bev and Max’s electric mingling—with its jaw-dropping conclusion—serves as a powerful reminder that life may be fleeting, but love is forever.
