I read this book almost 2 years ago and still find myself wondering how the characters are doing. The storyline and people were so REAL to me! I laughed, I cried, I even sobbed! This book will appeal to anyone who has ever been in love or has ever wanted to be in love. And I mean total, committed, overwhlmeing, makes-your-teeth-ache love! I read one other review for this book, which stated that it might appeal to pregnant women. I'd like to warn pregnant women that this might be the very worst book they could read, actually. Of course, it's just opinion, but this book has one particular tragic scene which could be somewhat traumatic to an expecting mother. I wasn't expecting at the time that I read this, and I was very shocked and saddened by this. In any case, the characters are friends, the story is real, and it is definitely worth a read! Enjoy!
