This novel was given to me by my mother as she read it in one read and said it was a really insightful novel about not noticing whats right in front of you till its too late and just friendships and growing old. Each chapter is set on the same day so each chapter skips a year and show what the two characters are doing and whether they are in touch with one another after each year. It starts from 1988 and works it's way into the 20th Century which explores how age has developed for the two characters and how love has progressed from friendship to a marriage between the two of them. The women who i fell in love throughout this novel dies when she finally gets with Dexter who she has been in love with from chapter 1 (1988) and I think it allows the readers to consider and think deeply about the present and not taking anything for granted because you dont know when its just going to up and go. The storyline is so very unique as I have never read a book like this before and It is definetly a book I would recommend a mature reader to indulge into this book, you will definetly not be able to put it down.*****-5 Star Rating.
