Two years ago, thirty-year-old receptionist Millie Chandler had her heart spectacularly broken in public. Ever since, she has been a closed book, vowing to keep everything to herself—her feelings, her truths, even her dreams—in an effort to protect herself from getting hurt again.
But Millie does write emails—sarcastic replies to her rude boss, hard truths to her friends, and of course, that one-thousand-word love declaration to her ex who is now engaged to someone else. The emails live safely in her drafts, but after a server outage at work, Millie wakes up to discover that all her emails have been sent. Every. Single. One.
As every truth, lie, and secret she’s worked so hard to keep only to herself are catapulted out into the open, Millie must fix the chaos her words have caused, and face everything she’s ever swept under the carpet.
Final Thoughts
Better Left Unsent was a quick enjoyable read. It’s filled with a full cast of friends and villains who are there for Millie after her draft emails accidentally get sent out after an IT glitch at work.
Why is this such a big deal to Millie? Because she writes exactly what she really wants to say to friends, family, coworkers and exes but never really sends them, sorta her diary of sorts.
Her emails start to cause riffs immediately. Her Dad starts questioning her Mom, friends stop returning texts and phone calls, one email even threatens to break up her exes engagement. But it isn’t all bad, Millie finds out what and who really matters in life.
