Two rambunctious, romantic flameouts. One boring wedding. One heated embrace in a quiet coatroom. Not exactly the recipe for true love. John and Jane’s lusty encounter at a friend’s wedding isn’t really the beginning of anything substantial; even they know that. When they manage to pull back, it occurs to them that they might start this whole thing over properly. They might try getting to know one another first, through letters. What follows is a series of traded confessions—of their messy histories, past errors, big loves, flaws, and passions. Each love affair, confessed as honestly as possible, reveals how they have grown and changed (or not) over the years—the people they’ve hurt, the ones who hurt them. Where this soul-baring will take them is the burning question behind every letter—one that can only be answered when they meet again, finally, in the flesh.
