I snagged this from the library forgetting the friend I saw recommend likes "romances that are more literary than romance-y," which meant I found myself sobbing at the 85% mark in the book (don't worry too much, it does end happily). I did love seeing the characters progress and how their love story developed through these little vignettes in time spread out over a decade. It's a great book that shows the "second coming of age" that happens between our early/mid-twenties to thirties and the complexities of evolving relationships when everyone is suddenly at different points/priorities in their lives.
