Setting Affecting Mood

The setting in this book affects the mood by enlightening and creating conflict between the two main characters. This is shown when Libby and Tony are on a walk in the winter and it is cold and he gives her his coat, and this make for a very sweet and light hearted moment. Also now that Tony lives in New York he and Libby can't see each other as much, yet if you look at it a little differently you can see that if they did live closer they may have never gotten as close since they started email and texting after he moved. So, the setting has affected the mood by enlightening, or making it more romantic, but it has also added conflict or suspense.
