When journalist 'MS' interviews the mysterious 'XX' for a job at her magazine, she hires him straight away--because he's gorgeous. As one date leads to another, her obsession spirals. MS finds herself writing letters to Facebook (to see if XX can tell how many times she views his page), to her phone company (can they delete messages she regrets sending?) and to XX's favorite author (who is dead), while the object of her affection remains aloof, a moodily seductive Vespa-riding urbanite. With full access to MS's photos, diary extracts and emails, this novel documents MS and XX's relationship from jubilant start to painful finish, and lays out her life--and past--for our scrutiny. Highly original, extremely funny, and darkly moving, this is an unputdownable glimpse into the depths of one woman's psyche.
