Juliet, Naked by Nick Hornby
3.0

Annie has lived with her boyfriend for 15 years. She still feels as if it is temporary. He is obsessed with the lead singer of a band who dropped out and became a recluse after his first successful album. When he releases an unplugged version of the Juliet album called Juliet, Naked, Duncan, the boyfriend, expounds how brilliant it is on a blog message board. Annie disagrees and writes an opposing opinion. Tucker Crowe, the recluse, writes her back. As her relationship with Duncan implodes after his having sex with a colleague, she embarks on a long distance email relationship with Tucker.

Fairly predictable, but Hornby does a great job describing the inner feelings of the people involved.
