I didnt know much about this book prior to reading it, just that it was being turned into a movie and people liked it overall. So I came into the book with few expectations, and although it took me awhile to get used to the format of it simply being a snapshot of the lives of Emma and Dexter on their anniversary every year, I quickly understood why people enjoy this book so much. Because its just a lovely, honest story.

Admittedly, I spent a lot of the book wondering why on earth Emma would put up with Dexter. He is such a stereotypical, slightly famous jerk alcohol, drugs, women. A very frustrating guy to read about! But I feel like hes someone we all know a variation of, which ultimately lends credibility to the real-feel of this story.
