Two rambunctious, romantic flameouts. One boring wedding. One heated embrace in a quiet coatroom. This is not exactly the recipe for true love. John and Jane's lusty encounter at a friend's wedding isn't really the beginning of anything with any weight to it; even they know that. When they manage to pull back, it occurs to them that they might start this whole thing over properly. They might try getting to know one another first, through letters. What follows is a series of traded confessions-of their messy histories, their past errors, their big loves, their flaws, and their passions. Each love affair, confessed as honestly as possible, reveals the ways in which Jane and John have grown and changed (or not changed) over the years-the people they've hurt, the ones still bruised, the ones who bruised them. Where all of this soul-baring will take them is the burning question behind every letter-a question that can only be answered when they meet again, finally, in the flesh.… (meer)

I enjoyed Steve Almond's Candyfreak and this one looked good. I like epistolary novels. When I checked it out at the library, the sweet-faced girl who occasionally praises my choices in literature as she scans in the barcode gushed about this one - she had held off finishing it because she didn't want it to end. I read it in two or three days and it probably would have benefited from a break. The confessional nature of the letters is fascinating, up to a point. In one of the author's afterwords, she gives thanks to a friend who told her she needed to stop working on this book. The characters must have been getting on her nerves too! But it was, on the whole, enjoyable. ( )

I don't want to share this book with anybody. ( )

This novels begins with a couple almost having sex in a cloakroom at a wedding, and it ends with them sharing a chaste kiss after nearly dying while driving drunk. The novel in-between is the epistolary relationship between the two protagonists, who each serve, betimes, as the other's antagonist. I liked the novel the first time through, but I found an unexpectedly (and oddly profound) strain of sadness on my second reading. Not many people read this novel, and I think it's a shame. I don't think that the author's themselves even like the novel very much. But then again you should never trust what authors say about their books. ( )

A novel in letters. He writes John, she writes Jane. (The authors are not married to each other). The characters, nearly swept away by lust-at-first-sight, agree to exchange confessional letters first. Both relive their various romantic entanglements and sins, along with a little flirting. Both of these authors can write, and this is a very nice setup for the two of them.

I love books written by 2 different people narrating 2 different characters and alternating chapters, and having the chapters in letter format makes it even better! ( )
