And that the two years that we were friends almost made me stop writing for ever.

Delphine finds herself irresistibly drawn to her, their friendship growing as their meetings, notes and texts increase. But as L. begins to dress like Delphine, and, in the face of Delphine 's crippling inability to write, L. even offers to answer her emails, and their relationship rapidly intensifies.
