This is a story about a couple's wedding night. She's a virgin, I never understood if he is or not. To me the book is depressing, but only because it's so true. I think we all have episodes in our lives where we look back and ask ourselves if we shouldn't have said something differently or reacted differently to a situation. It makes you think.
