This book was a lot like normal people but now it’s with two couples instead of one. I definitely liked "normal people" more but this book was also good. However, though Eileen and Simon are 29 and 34 now, they first met when they were a lot younger so they knew each other when they were 13 and 18 which doesn’t sound very nice. I also don’t agree with everything Eileen and Alice said in their emails to each other but I liked their way of thinking. I also really like the cover.
