I was really looking forward to reading this book as the theme of the story was really interesting to me, but I did not enjoy this as much as I would have liked to. There were too many "rabbit trails." Too many trips into David and Norah's past. I know the author was trying to tie the events of the past to those of the character's present, but it was too much. I found myself thinking, "Would you please just get on with it." Once I FINALLY got to the end I was actually really pleased with the way the story ended. I don't like the sappy everything is suddenly perfect "happily ever after endings." So the fact that it had a very realistic ending was pleasing to me! If you have the time and a strong enough interest it isn't a bad story it just takes so long to get through it!
