Can you fall in love with someone you've never met?
Suze Wilding is impetuous, impatient and NEVER wants to get married.
Lloyd Rockwell is complicated, cautious and contemplating marriage to the eminently suitable Betsy.
Although Lloyd and Suze both work for the same company, their lives are worlds apart - three thousand, four hundred and forty miles apart, in fact. But when they job swap and apartment swap for six weeks and Suze discovers that Lloyd's power-suited deputy, Sheri, is plotting to get rid of him, the two begin communicating long-distance and fate steps in to take a hand ...
A novel that is utterly romantic, laugh-out-loud funny and achingly true.
It’s quite interesting reading story like this. Usually, the themes are around a guy and a woman met in the beginning of the book, had relationship or already had then there are problems with them. But this is… I can say out of the box: a guy and a woman being friends without knowing each other’s face. They never met until the very last time and they realized they loved each other at the few last pages of the book.
Can it really happen? I mean, can we love someone whom we never met? We only hear his voice from the phone, listen to her sadness being dumped by her damned boyfriend and see his/her photos. Suze and Lloyd surely can. That’s one of the mystery of love.
Sisman wrote two different cultures in one book, (East) American and British. She described the differences between London and New York: the streets, the houses, the downtowns. Even the characteristics of two strangers like heaven and earth. One is very organize, neat and love the aristocracy of England. One is spontaneous, messy and brave.
It’s a good book. But a little too thick, I think.
Love unites them without plan. Just listening to the voice, noticing the furnitures inside the house knowing the ordinary things h/she does. They felt they’ve known each other. How sweet…
