Jon Jonnz was doing extra duty in the entire film, as evidenced by his last shapeshifting stunt while escaping Liam Neeson's particular set of skills.
Joking aside, I just finished watching the movie, and in my interpretation everything between the first and last scene are fictional in the sense, that they intersected with actual past conversations, making the only 3 characters not represnting the writer's psyche are his wife, his editor, and his dead son. All phone conversations and confessions are real, and has happened to the writer, I'd go as far as to say, it's from his second, third, and fourth book, all written after his son's death. They also represent the 5 stages of grief, which makes the Italian story the last stage, acceptance. We never get to see, how Anna actually looks like, since Olivia Wilde, Mila Kunis and Miss Atias were all part of her likeness, hence why Liam as the writer sees all 3 of them. The note with the judge's address (the writer was suspected of criminal negligence, but cleared on lack of evidence, presented in Julia's story) was a past memory, just like him not making the meeting, and later using the note to register his wife's new phone number. Mila Kunis's story should be the second book (depression, bargaining), Olivia Wilde's story the third (anger and a sense of betrayal) and Adrian Brody's story the fourth (acceptance). I have to admit, this is pure speculation, but after he lost his phone messages from his son, Anna returned to him after meeting his father, and only later did she read the journal, which is why Monika asks to be taken back, and berates Scott for being a fool for previously believing him, or perhaps the opposite, after the third book he just wished the love of his life returns, but it never happened à là the lies he tells himself, to be signified by Anna wearing white.
