Me encanta como escribe esta mujer. Creo que es capaz de hacer historias de personajes y conseguir que les comprendas (incluyendo en ese proceso la parte buena y la parte mala, y me parece complejo hacer eso de forma realista). Ahora bien, aunque me ha gustado esta historia corta, creo que se hubiera beneficiado de más hojas para conseguir algo más de profundidad (aunque a través de las cartas y el paso del tiempo se observa parte de esa profundidad). A mí me hubiera gustado que fuera más larga.

I will read everything Taylor writes. Seriously.
I believe she is the best at creating character driven stories with complex characters and their own weird, complex moral complex without sounding preachy... and, at the same time make you feel for these characters, and understand them.
I do believe that she managed to acomplish this as well in this short story (the letters create a very nostalgic, very tied-to-its-time feeling that works very well with the narrative that is being told), and yet, although I like the story as it is very compelling, I wanted a longer version of it. I needed more

As someone who’s been cheated on before, I was very empathetic to the victims. Although this is fiction, it brings home, the audacity of people who betray their partners in such deceitful, manipulative and selfish ways. It certainly gives some insight in to their motivations.
Of course, this is quite a predictable read, there is a final twist at the end, I didn’t predict though.

Really, the excessive schmaltziness between Carrie and David that developed so quickly (after two letters??? really???) was my biggest issue. Such bland basic language shouldn’t lead to emotional connections that easily. Just kind of unoriginal.
