I tried reading this book back before the publication date, but I could not get into it.
Then I decided to wait a bit and now I tried it as an audiobook and I still could not get into the story, so this book simply isnt for me.

This is a cute romance where two unlikely people get to know each other via emails. I loved how Amy's character developed throughout the story and she gets her happy ending. The story broke up with email correspondence made this a quick, easy to read book.

In this charming modern romance novel, readers follow Amy, a musician and a PR worker at a small Edinburgh theater, and Cameron, a photographer on an Antarctic cruise, as a mistyped email address brings them together from opposite sides of the globe. Alternating between emails and Amy’s life in Edinburgh, readers see this romance unfold despite the two protagonists never actually meeting in person. As life and the inconsistencies of Internet signals in Antarctica get in the way, Amy and Cameron must see if their relationship, brought about by chance and human error, can unfold into something more. With a charmingly human narrator, readers will relate to Amy’s adulthood struggles and the setbacks of self-doubt and imposter syndrome, while the other obstacles in her path at work and in her communication with Cameron also seem all too normal and human. With an engaging prose style, excellent pacing, and a great plot, Kerr’s novel is a fun and charming romance story with a dash of whimsy, chance, and coincidence. The other characters in the novel are charming and realistic, and they have excellent relationships with Amy back in Edinburgh. Cameron appropriately remains a bit of a mystery as readers spend so much time reading through Amy’s eyes, which adds to the plot of the novel.

Amy and Cameron have never met but she receives an email for what she assumes is for him and forwards it.
He’s currently in Antarctica on a photographic tour while Amy is in Edinburgh. This is the longest of long distance love affairs and there’s a little twist at the end. Thoroughly adorable.

This was an easy read, the layout is emails in most chapters which I didn’t mind. Liked them and it shared the relationship between Amy and Cameron.

Amy works in a theatre in Edinburgh in marketing, but she used to play the violin professionally. When the theatre is under threat she wants to make it stay open, she also starts playing again. Her relationship with Cameron even through emails is blossoming and it’s nice to read.

A good 4 star read.


Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for a copy.

A heart warming and uplifting read. I really enjoyed the twists and turns of this chance romance and the life changes it heralds for the main characters. I would even go so far as to say it’s a fairytale for the digital age! Difficult to put down to say the least, this is a great romantic read.

Thank you Netgalley

Sorry, but No.
I have read Emily's books before and then I found them cute.
This one? Sorry to tell you that, but naive...

The idea is awesome, though. The typo what makes them reconsolidate and meet, accident with started the domino.
But beside that, it was soooo flat.
I even expected to hear something more about Edinburgh, the place I adore, but honestly... nope.

The Typo is a sweet romance between Amy, who accidentally receives an email meant for Cameron, a photographer in Antarctica. Amy and Cameron are both likable characters, and I found myself rooting for them till the end.

I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

I tried so hard to enjoy this book. The premise and the idea of the characters were both set up to be great! However, the execution needed some work. Every sentence felt like it was dragging on for hours. Our main characters felt underdeveloped. The story felt very cyclical, and not in the fun callback later way. I love mistaken communication tropes but this one was not doing it for me.

I really enjoyed this story! Amy & Cameron have a unique meet-cute that lasts most of the first half of the book via email correspondence. I really connected with Amy, as this story is from her pov. her accepting some unwanted changes in life really resonated, especially with the bittersweet ending of friendships. I loved the way she found a true friend in Cameron before they become something more.

I would’ve liked to see more of Cameron’s story/ perspective in this, it felt very one sided for most of the book since it was only one pov, and I really loved the bits we got of Cameron! the hilarious & lovely emails from his excursion gave bright spot to the everyday of Amy’s life and the story!

overall, I really loved this story! I wanted more romance throughout the story, but it is so well-written, with a completely lovely main character who goes through some authentic, emotional, completely lovely character development, both on her own and in her budding relationship with Cameron.

thank you for the arc :)

I had to DNF. I just couldn’t get into it and I sadly wasn’t feeling the characters. I hate when this happens but this book just wasn’t for me.

I'm torn with this book, I can't decide whether I liked it or not! I flitted throughout from loving the characters and wanting them to do well, to getting so annoyed by them and just wanting to finish the book! The fact I finished the book says something, as if I'd not liked it I would have stopped.

The premise is great a chance meeting (via email) with a stranger due to a typo in an email address to Amy Cameron, which sets her on the search for the correct A Cameron, or as it turns out Cameron A, they exchange emails and build a relationship, but not without its trials as is the way of life.

I liked Amy, but did find her very frustrating at times, but did feel for her situation. Cameron came across well in the book, but I was always waiting for some dark secret (maybe that's because I've read too many thrillers), I think the story needed a bit more pace for my liking.

If you want a nice easy read this summer then this is the book for you.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this ARC

A rom-com where the protagonists don't meet until the very end. It was a bit of a slog to get through. As other reviewers noted, it was more stream of consciousness. I had so many questions about the characters that weren't answered, like WHY?? In some ways Amy seemed so together and in other ways I just wanted to ask why she was doing something.

I loved The Typo! I find these types of reads with text exchanges so fun, and I don't mind a bit of misunderstands as a trope. I loved the characters and the story drew me right in.

I am a sucker for these types of stories. The unintentional miscommunication, the ‘mistaken’ identities, the writing to each other while secretly developing feelings. It was a swoony but also highly relatable and dove into deeper topics, which I really appreciated. This one hit home!

It just wasn’t for me. I am sure I would be able to give this one another chance some time but as of right now. It wasn’t the time.

This is one of those 5 star reads where by the end of reading the book I was like 1 I did not see that being the plot twist and 2 I need this book on my bookshelf, I need a physical copy. It was just so good, like the depth of emotions we see through Amy and her battle with esteem and anxiety I think it was just written so well that she did feel like a real person who I was rooting for along the way. This was a perfect read for my stressful week as it was cute, sweet, funny, heart warming and went deeper than I thought it would.

Word cannot describe this book for me as I just totally loved it and would recommend it to everyone.

Such a fun vibrant read. Really felt I could resonate with fmc and her perfectionism. I liked seeing her progression in the book I think it was done beautifully. I did have a busy month where I had to keep leaving the book for a long period of time- it did lead me to find it difficult to getting into the book. However I’m chalking that up to having a long break in between chapters.

Excellent writing style, really funny and witty.

"The Typo" by Emily Kerr offers an interesting concept but struggles to make a lasting impact. I found the characters quite annoying, making it hard to form a connection. An average read with fleeting moments of charm.

I was pleasantly surprised by this book from how much I enjoyed it!! Definitely kept me entertained and the characters had a large part in that with their vibrant personalities. I’m glad I got a chance to read the book!
