A briskly written story by well-known author Connie Willis set in the near future, when possible, for continuous communication and accessibility via social networks, and the continuous improvement of technology, to undergo surgery, that will connect the partners in a way to perceive the feelings and thoughts of the other. That's what Briddey Flannigan's boyfriend Trent offers Briddey instead of an engagement ring.
Briddey is thrilled, because the EED procedure will deepen their love for each other and allow them to be in perfect harmony. The engagement is to take place after the successful connection after the surgery. Moreover, Briddey hopes that this will finally get him out of the reach of his Irish family's excessive care and concern. But things don't turn out exactly as planned. Briddey is in for a surprise when he wakes up from anesthesia: the connection did happen, but in a very different way than she had anticipated.
From that moment on, a thrilling and funny story unfolds that turns Briddey's life upside down and leads her to fundamentally rethink the way she sees the people around her. The acclaimed science fiction author has brilliantly blended a story that combines the best of suspenseful mystery and romantic comedy.
