    Summary

    Two years after the Unjoining, she saw Zosia in London, of all places – nearly unrecognizable in her winter attire – bundled up to her nose. But Carol felt her presence like a sawed-off shotgun wound to her stomach. The sight of her eyes peeking over the edge of her scarf, sparkling with mirth as she shouldered the woman she was walking with –

    Well, it was fucking devastating.


    ‘Who is Carol?’ Spray-painted in canary yellow, stood out against the rain-darkened concrete of the building across the street from The Ritz where Carol was staying.

    Summary

    Carol finds it in the third week of living alone with an unhived Zosia: a New York Times article, “To Fall In Love With Anyone, Do This.” An intimacy experiment involving thirty-six increasingly personal questions and, at the end of it, four uninterrupted minutes of eye contact, which sounds fake and humiliating and somehow still not bad enough to stop her.

    Carol, obviously, prints it out.

    Summary

    Carol misses those nights when she took silence and sleep for granted. It’s been two weeks since they have stopped, and the repercussions are starting to show in the sluggish way she moves about in the morning. In the headaches that remind her of the worst kind of hangover. And in the irritation she feels at the slightest inconvenience, or even at her lack of inspiration when she sits in front of a blank document on her computer.
    Well, maybe that last part isn’t entirely someone else’s fault. But still, she should do something about the fucking noise.
    [...]
    “Well, then? Do you need something?”
    Carol takes a deep breath. For the first time since moving in this awfully sleazy apartment complex, she’s about to be the wet blanket everybody hates – or maybe appreciates for the intervention, she hopes.
    “Yeah,” she mutters and points to the door. “Could you turn it down? I – I’m trying to get some sleep.”
    The other seems to ponder her request for a second before shrugging. “It’s not that loud.”

    or

    a new tenant moves in the upstairs apartment. She's loud, careless, annoying. And hot. And Carol has a hard time dealing with that.

    Summary

    Carol stays at her lake house for the summer, in desperate need of finding inspiration to write the fifth Wycaro novel. When she meets her neighbour who looks exactly like the female version of her famous character Raban, more than inspiration strikes Carol.
