“I feel like I really had to give it up,” Rebecca continued. “I had so much to say about what it means to be single in your 20s, probably especially in your 30s, I think. And I’m really glad I got to do it because now I’m in a different story. “
In the novel, Daphne’s love life is shaped by these mysterious slips of paper telling her the name of her next lover and how long they spend together – their expiration date, so to speak – whether it’s a year, month or even a quick weekend. . Until one day she just gets a name, with no expiration date in sight.
“I think every relationship, no matter how brief, informs to some extent what comes next,” Rebecca noted. “I think, as anyone who has tried to end a relationship knows, sometimes one weekend can have more impact than two years.”
