So I really Do you not remember much about this plot I believe I Read this between 2001 and 2005. The only vague details I can really recall is that the main character is a girl and I think she moves into a new apartment and she notices this boy from the window. He was maybe in a coffee shop across the street. She spends a lot of time watching him and eventually they meet and have some kind of relationship. I know it is very vague but the fact that I lost the book and have not been able to remember the title has only made me you’re in for it that much more. Help please!

Jess, is this book for young adults (teens) or older adults?

What's the genre or tone - psychological thriller, mystery, contemporary romance, angsty, steamy/clean, funny at times, etc.?

Can you tell us more about the main characters - their ages, jobs, interests/skills, family/friends, love/hate at first sight, etc.?

Location - country, region, big city/small town?

Was it Difficult Loves (Gli Amori Difficili) by Italo Calvino? This book is a collection of short stories about difficulty of communication, kind of has some obsession/missed connection type of stories. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9...

Jess, are you still looking for this or did you find it?

How old are the characters? Sounds like they might be in their 20s if they are living independently? So a woman and a man?
