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.
