So this one is a love story that hits you like no other. There's a movie of the same name, made based on it as well. The story follows characters Dexter and Emma from the time they graduate from Edinburgh University. They start off as friends and the story follows their relationship and their individual lives. Each chapter is dedicated to a year of their lives. They get romantically involved with other people, Dexter even ends up getting married and having a kid but all you want is for Emma and Dexter to end up together. The book follows their story for twenty years during the course of which they do remain best friends with the occasional argument and ups and downs and this isn't a massive spoiler but, of course, they do end up together but what happens shortly after is so devastating and you never see it coming. Writing this review and remembering how I felt when I read the book just hit me hard. It is such a captivating read. You'll not only enjoy the romantic story in it, you will really love the journey the book takes you on.
