Synopsis

A novel about the paradoxes of love in the modern age, exploring the idea of loving deeply while keeping something in reserve. Lu Ming and Lin Yue are two people who habitually lay their phones face down. They recognize something of themselves in each other and fall in love, then move from passion to suspicion. It isn't that they don't love each other: they love with reservations, leaving themselves room to breathe and their relationship a crack to slip through. The phone is still the same, but the person beside them grows ever closer, and ever more unfamiliar. Using the front and back of a phone to reflect the warmth of love is unprecedented in fiction to date.
