Translated by Tara Chace.
Alex (a picked-on male ballet dancer) and Kyla (a popular party girl) meet in an online chatroom. They discover how much they have in common, and their correspondence becomes a deep but stormy friendship. The characters are too broadly drawn to evoke much sympathy, but the angst experienced by this Swedish import's protagonists may resonate with readers.
