Love Virtually

I had read this a while ago and had completely forgotten that ending but it was just as shocking and gut-wrenching.

Veoma lepo i deskriptivno napisana prica o dvoje ljudi koji su delili jutra,dane,nocu pili vino,nudili poljupce,zagrljaje. Ali samo virtuelno. Preporuka!

‫یه فیکشنِ جمع‌وجور و خوش‌خوان با داستان و نثرِ روون. خوندنش به یکی-دو تا نشست خیلی راحت و بی‌زحمت تموم می‌شه. از اون‌جا که فکر می‌کردم باهاش همذات‌پنداری خواهم کرد خوندمش و واقعاً هم در اشتباه نبودم؛ اگر رابطه‌ی ای‌میلیِ طولانی/عمیق با کسی داشتید خوندنِ این کتاب می‌تونه جذّاب باشه و پر از «ئه! چه‌قدر این‌جاش برام آشناست.» از خوندنش احساسِ گناه نمی‌کنم، امّا اعتراف می‌کنم که این کار رو فقط به‌قصدِ لذّت انجام دادم! تجربه‌ی خوندنِ ای‌بوکِ انگلیسی هم محضِ تنوّع خوب بود.
‫می‌شه مثلاً بهش گفت «نسخه‌ی بزرگسالانه و منطقیِ فیلمِ You've Got Mail»، اگه بخوایم کمی سهل بگیریم.

Have you ever just clicked with someone? Is there a safer space for secret desires than virtual reality? "Just what you need" WENDY HOLDEN It begins by chance: Leo receives emails in error from an unknown woman called Emmi. Being polite he replies, and Emmi writes back. A few brief exchanges are all it takes to spark a mutual interest in each other, and soon Emmi and Leo are sharing their innermost secrets and longings. The erotic tension simmers, and it seems only a matter of time before they will meet in person. But they keep putting off the moment - the prospect both unsettles and excites them. And, after all, Emmi is happily married. Will their feelings for each other survive the test of a real-life encounter? Translated from German by Jamie Bulloch and Katharina Bielenberg
