Thayer's narrative cleverly parallels modern digital relationships, offering insights into how technology reshapes human interaction. When Nattie faces unwanted advances from a local man and professional rivalry at work, her bond with Clem becomes both refuge and resolution. A blend of lighthearted romance and social commentary, Wired Love captures the timeless tension between virtual and real-world intimacy, making it an early precursor to today's online dating dynamics.
