Helpful Score: 7
Oh, this book made me smile so much. A bit predictable in parts, but written so well and so true-to-life that you will love every chapter. Emma and Dexter meet on the last day of university and there's undeniable connection between the two. And yet, they go on with their separate lives, keeping in touch sporadically. Each chapter advances the timeline forward one year, and always there is Emma and there is Dexter. Liberal arts-educated Emma struggles during her post-graduate years (fast food worker, acting troupe director's assistant) while Dexter uses his good looks and charm to become a huge TV star. Then years later, Emma becomes the rising star author while Dexter becomes the celebs you see on reality shows. And still they keep in touch.
This books was just a delight to read. The author catches the zingy British slang and clipped dialogue between close lovers/friends. My only hope is this does not get made into a movie as I don't want my wonderful mental images of Emma and Dex to become corrupted on screen (though Hugh Grant would probably fit Dexter's character to a T).
