review 1: I didn’t know what to expect when I picked up the book but I’m glad I did. The story is very simple, written in the form of email exchanges between Emmi and Leo, made possible by a simple mistake of keying in a wrong email address. What begins as a simple curiosity leads the characters to feel the sense of longing, needing and even jealousy between themselves. I enjoyed the snappy and witty replies, as well as how much thought they put into creating those replies. I started reading the book at midnight last night and couldn’t put this book down afterwards! (Note: Yes I do have a day job and don’t start reading this book at midnight when you have to work tomorrow morning because you will get frustrated at the ending. Don’t say I don’t remind you). This book is h... moreeavily based on the concern of these two characters of their real-actual-flesh person persona, whether they agree with the person they both imagined replying to these emails. Emmi is a married woman with a husband 10 years older than she was, with two teen kids whom were not hers. Leo was heartbroken from his previous relationship and felt drawn to Emmi because she came (I mean emailed) him at his most vulnerable time. I imagined these characters to be good looking and beautiful and handsome (because honestly, this wouldn’t happen to overweight, unattractive people because then, it will be a creepy story, no offense). As for the ending, well, I AM REALLY FRUSTRATED ABOUT THE ENDING. How a book could ends like this it’s a torture! I’m telling you the ending is a total cliff-hanger!! I therefore, must find the second book to resolve my frustration and knows what happen to them both after THE CLIFF-HANGER. Good marketing strategy Daniel Glattauer I salute you. Overall, I enjoyed the book immensely, and would glad to give this book 5 star. Definitely recommended for light reading!

Un libro muy bueno, diferente todo es narrado como si te metieras en una cuenta de correo de una pareja que se conoce por casualidad por internet. Te enganchas desde el primer correo no se si es por nuestra naturalceza curiosa de leerle la vida a otros o por lo menos eso me paso a mi.......me enoje, me angustie con los protagonistas especialmente ella (Emmi). El escritor juega con la psyquis del lector es uno de esos libros que no puedes para de leer ni de pensar en el siquiera cuando no lo estas leyendo o ya lo terminaste...Recomendasion tengan los dos libros a la mano el primero termina con un cliffhanging que casi muero. Remendado 100%

En bok helt i min stil. Den är skriven i mejlformat och är väldigt lätt att läsa just därför. Det går upp och ner i Emmis och Leos relation - ena dagen vill dem inget annat än att träffas och sluka varann med hull och hår för att sen redan dagen efter skriva ångerfulla mejl till varann. Jag gillar verkligen att läsa om deras upp- och nergångar. En bok att sluka då man vill veta hur det ska gå mellan dem. Kommer dem att träffas? Kommer det att bli de två? Hur går det med Emmis äktenskap? Ett överraskande slut var det också och det var roligt just för att den inte blev förutsägbar överhuvudtaget.

I didn´t find any grace to this book. Neither in the story, nor in the writing.
