Official SummaryIt’s 1988 and Dexter Mayhew and Emma Morley have only just met. But after only one day together, they cannot stop thinking about one another. Over twenty years, snapshots of that relationship are revealed on the same day—July 15th—of each year. Dex and Em face squabbles and fights, hopes and missed opportunities, laughter and tears. And as the true meaning of this one crucial day is revealed, they must come to grips with the nature of love and life itself.
My Two Cents
Now I am a pretty tough sell as far as this "romantic" kind of book genre goes (if you couldn't tell by now) and I have to say that I really, really enjoyed this book. And I was super leery about reading it, I mean...a major motion picture with Anne Hathaway? Uuuugggghhh. But I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised. It was an honest look at romance, a realistic love story if you will - with all kinds of ups and downs and emotions and actions that made no sense and left you shaking your head...much like real life. Nothing was idealized, most especially the main characters. It was a story about growing up and just how painful and difficult - yet amazing and happy - it can all be. It was also very funny and intelligently written - a great read...I strongly recommend.
