Epistolary novel. A pretty easy read. It is a story of how an accidental email turned into a pretty intense emotional affair. Was it a romance? Was it a warning that the line between flirtation and “too far” is invisible? Was it an invitation to look outside of one‘s bubble? To reassess a longterm relationship? I can‘t tell yet. The ending was logical. Apparently there is a sequel, I don‘t know if I care enough to read it.

Sehr gutes Buch, dass erzählerisch die Aspekte, vorzüge und probleme einer internetbeziehung , zunächst mehr nur zwischenmenschlich gemeint, gekonnt aufzeigt

Non riesco a dormire, stasera. Le ho mai raccontato del vento del Nord? Quando tengo la finestra aperta è insopportabile. Sarebbe bello se mi scrivesse qualche altra parola. Anche solo "Allora chiuda la finestra".

Brindiamo a noi.
Scrivere è come baciare, solo senza labbra. Scrivere è baciare con la mente. Emmi, Emmi, Emmi.

I loved the fast-pace of this book of emails back and forth between a man and a woman who met by accident. It was so funny I was always laughing; their witty emails were great. I would have liked the book a whole lot more if Emmi hadn't been married. And the ending—it completely surprised me!

heyitsMacall I'm doing a reading challenge and have to read a book of letters...would this book fit? 8y
HotCocoaReads Yes, absolutely @heyitsMacall -- also, Letters from Skye (found it at Dollar Tree) or 84 Charing Cross Road would also work! 8y
heyitsMacall @HotCocoaReads oooh thank you! 8y

Wunderbare Geschichte über eine Zufallsbekanntschaft, aus der sich andere Gefühle entwickeln, komplett via E-mail-Verkehr erzahlt. Ein Buch, das man mal gelesen haben sollte.

Ich bin immer noch nicht sicher, ob ich die Fortsetzung dazu lesen möchte - für mich hat das Buch ein absolut perfektes Ende, auch wenn (und gerade weil) es kein 0815-Happy End gibt.

Tamysbuecherwelt Ich glaube, das Buch werde ich mir mal merken ... ☺ 8y

I sprinted through this book. I had to KNOW. And then I did. And then I had to make sure it wasn't just the sprint that made my pulse race and my heart beat faster, so I read it again. Slowly. With a pen to mark passages. And still my pulse raced and still my heart beat faster. "Is there a safer place for secret desires than virtual reality?" I understand this. Leo and Emmi, I get you. North wind and all.

heyitsMacall 😍 you make this sound so good! I must read 8y

Reading and laughing en route to work. People were giving me funny looks. Oops. ?

"Prague is just perfect for love problems, especially at the end of March: everything's gray, and at night you have anemic dumplings and dark beer in some pub that's wood-paneled in the darkest shade of brown imaginable, watched over by an underemployed, depressive waiter whose whole reason for living stopped with Brezhnev's state visit. It's all over after that."

Chachic Aww Prague hahaha 😂 8y

I was waiting for a friend at the bookstore when I saw this book. It was the last copy. It was a bit beat up; it had ball pen marks and smudges and creases but I couldn't stop reading so I took it home. "Is there a safer place for secret desires than virtual reality?" I understand this. Cyber-Me and Fleshy-Me can be so different sometimes.

Chachic I looked at the synopsis and it looked interesting until I reached the part where it says the female MC is happily married. Nope, not for me. 8y
mirenbflores @Chachic too early pa for me to judge...though parang I don't want to judge. We all have our little monsters... 8y
Chachic @mirenbflores Dealbreaker for me ang cheaters, even in fiction. Haha lakas mang judge. 8y

Ovaj roman sam jedan dan slučajno vidio u knjižnici i odlučio ga uzesti. Knjiga mi je izvrsna jer je drugačija priča od ostalih također obožavam kad je cijeli roman pisan u porukama. Preporuka ako nešto želite zanimljivo i lagano za pročitati.
