Which Brings Me to You

I recently read this book by Steve Almond and Julianna Baggott called, "Which Brings Me to You". It's a sort of love story, about two people who meet at a wedding, realize they're kindred spirits, start to hook-up but then pull back before sex in the coat closet as they realize the futility of another one-night stand in their life. They then embark on a journey of writing letters instead (not email) which confess their past failures, wounds, and loves. The book takes the form of these letters. The characters are 30 somethings artist types so it fit my niche. Their attempt to know each other, to accept each other, to step back from the scripts and rolls we traditionaly play during a romance really struck a chord with me. It was also a pleasant change to have a real page-turner in my hands this summer however breifly. If you have any other good reads for me let me know.
