I found the characters and relationships compelling. Through them, the story got at truths that simple statements can’t capture as brightly.
I see here that many people disliked the email exchanges, but I enjoyed them. It was interesting to hear the characters’ big ideas and then to see the minutiae of their days and personal entanglements.
And best of all, I really enjoyed the way this story closed.
Also I highly recommend the audiobook, the narrator was SUPERB and captured each character so perfectly.

Also, way too much sex scenes, especially as I was listening to the audio reading of this. Listening to an Irish woman describe mediocre sex between two mediocre characters was unnerving and far too often for my liking. I felt these scenes never really contributed to the plot either.
