Plot Summary

Dex, a playboy, and Em, a nerdier intellectual, meet on the last day of college and carry on a twenty year friendship filled with awkward moments and feelings.

My Thoughts

Yes, this is the book that the movie of the same name starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess was based on.

Dex and Emma’s relationship is a realistic representation of that awkward “best friends, but possibly more” dynamic that many people have experienced growing up. And, I loved the way Nicholls structured the book: revisiting their relationship on the same day over the course of twenty years.
