After nearly a year of silence, they find themselves in contact once more. Either you tell crazy stories like ours from the beginning or not at all. Emmi and Leo met, fell in love and broke up via e-mail.

Leo's excuse for not telling his fiancee sums up the problem of sequels: "I couldn't start in the middle. Daniel Glattauer is a journalist and writer who works as a columnist for Der Standard. It seems as if we got to know each other just so that we can say goodbye." Their continued attempts to write each other into bed become so wearing you long for a third voice to intervene which, thankfully, it does, when Emmi's husband discovers what is going on, though her decision to print out the entire correspondence and stash it in a drawer seems quite foolhardy in the circumstances. But unless you were among the many thousands desperate to know whether German cyber-flirts Emmi (35, married with two step-children) and Leo (fortyish, engaged to an American named Pam) would ever summon up the resolve to meet in person, you're unlikely to find much friction in the follow-up, which takes the form of an endless "no, you hang up first" conversation: "We've been saying goodbye for a year and a half.

The captivating story continues as Leo returns from Boston and gradually resumes his email contact with Emmi.
But shouldn't these unconventional lovers-intimates who have never met in person-get another chance? Readers thought so, and begged for more.
And the rest we'll live together." " "Love Virtually" ended as Leo abruptly departed for a new life in the United States, determined to end once and for all the intense cyber-exchange that threatened Emmi's marriage and his own happiness. ""How will this go on, Leo? The same as before? But where will it go? Nowhere, just on. The eagerly awaited sequel to "Love Virtually"-2011's wittiest, most compelling love story.
