How do you describe a book that feels so real and so haunting of our own lives? Honestly this book surprised me in a very good way. Its made me reflect about my own "Dexter" and how sometimes life throws your a curve ball and how you swing determines everything. I recommend this to anyone who's wanting a good hopeless romantic type book with a last effect.

Clever structure, brilliant characters who are wonderful and flawed, sense of time and place is excellent. Just sucks you in until the end
