Book Description:
Right Click - Love. Marriage. Infidelity. Parenthood. Crises of identity. Death. Cupcakes. The themes in Right Click, the third and final installment in the Click series, couldn't be more pressing for this group of friends as they navigate through their 30's.
Another six months have passed since we last eavesdropped on the hilarious, poignant and often times inappropriate email adventures of Renee and friends. As the light-hearted, slice of life story continues to unfold, relationships are tested and some need to be set "right" before everyone can find their "happily ever after."
Right Click is the third and final installment in the Click: An Online Love Story trilogy by author Lisa Becker. Click: An Online Love Story, Double Click and Right Click, which all unfold exclusively in emails, marry the friendships of “Sex and the City,” the epistolary nature of “Bridget Jones’ Diary” and the online love story of “You’ve Got Mail” to be light and breezy stories for anyone who's ever been dumped, been in love, had a bad date or is still searching for "the one."

We won't be invited back next year,
that's for sure. Granted we'll be
getting married that day next year. But
you know what I mean.

Neil's wife now officially HATES
Ethan.

How could anyone hate Ethan? Unless she is a Michigan alum or Wolverines
football fan, he pretty much charms everyone.

He is pretty charming, isn't
he? But I digress. All of these kids were running around and
playing. Neil's wife brought out some
water balloons that they were lobbing at each other. One hit the ground near Ethan and splashed
him. Then it happened again.
Finally after the third splash,
Ethan told the kids if they get him wet again, they’d better watch out. Needless to say, they made a direct hit and
it all went downhill from there.

Oh, it was far worse than you
could, or I could have, imagined. By the
end of the day, every child there – including Ethan – was soaking wet from head
to toe.
He grabbed two "super
soaker" squirt guns and started attacking right away. At one point, a kid ran up to him and said,
"Mister, I want to be on your team."
Ethan responded, "Kid, I don't need anyone on my team," before
squirting him with both guns.

Hilarious. That sounds like a scene out of a movie.

There was another "movie
moment" where Ethan is running down the street with a super soaker in each
arm. There's a five second delay and
then you see every kid in the neighborhood chasing after him. I wish I had been recording it, because it
was almost too outlandish to be believed. However, it's ALL true.

Why would anyone be mad about
that? I would think the parents would be
thrilled someone else was keeping their brats occupied.

I think that was initially the
case. I managed to broker a truce and
all was well. But then Neil's wife
brought out the hose and helped the kids spray Ethan. Then she proclaimed they were all done.
Ethan took that as an act of war
and said he wouldn't stop until she
was soaked. At some point things turned
ugly and hoses and big buckets of water came out.
I finally grabbed the hose from his
hand and said "enough!" He was
like a crazy man. I grabbed his face and
forced him to look in my eyes repeating "Enough! Enough!" until he calmed down. Neil's wife was livid!

Why should she be angry? She got it all started again. Serves her right.

That's what Ethan said. But I tried explaining that she was our host
and we needed to be gracious.

Screw gracious. If a bunch of
bratty kids dumped water on me - and ruined my hair <gasp!> – I would be
pissed, too.

I think Ethan's hair was okay but
his ego was a bit bruised. So anyway, I
assume we won't be invited back next year.

I would think not. Wish I had been there to see it. Well, Sweetie, your quick "checking
in" email has turned into – as usual – quite the long conversation. Gotta run.
Mwah! Mwah!
