The New York Times Bestseller and A Reese's Book Club Pick "This love story between Lucy and Gabe spans decades and continents as two star-crossed lovers try to return to each other…Will they ever meet again? This book kept me up at night, turning the pages to find out, and the ending did not disappoint."—Reese Witherspoon "One Day meets Me Before You meets your weekender bag."—The Skimm "Extraordinary."—Emily Giffin He was the first person to inspire her, to move her, to truly understand her. Was he meant to be the last? Lucy is faced with a life-altering choice. But before she can make her decision, she must start her story—their story—at the very beginning. Lucy and Gabe meet as seniors at Columbia University on a day that changes both of their lives forever. Together, they decide they want their lives to mean something, to matter. When they meet again a year later, it seems fated—perhaps they'll find life's meaning in each other. But then Gabe becomes a photojournalist assigned to the Middle East and Lucy pursues a career in New York. What follows is a thirteen-year journey of dreams, desires, jealousies, betrayals, and, ultimately, of love.

Best book I’ve ever read

This book was incredible. It made me literally SOB so many times. It perfectly describes two different kinds of love. Just remember the gummy bear experiment :)

It was ok

It took me a while to read because I wasn’t really interested in it but I wanted to see if it got better but it ended up being ok. I did cry but not a lot.

Quick Read- Solid Love Story But...

Not giving it 5 star due to some of the events that took place seemed unrealistic and I felt bad for her husband the entire time. The end was sad and I did enjoy the book for the most part.

Great writing BUT…

This book was an easy read, it captivated me from the beginning to middle (final=bad). I felt that I was being tormented with this love story. The characters deserved more!!

Heart wrenching

Was difficult to read at first d/t it being almost third person. But it felt nice to understand the heartbreak and that not all love has a happy ending.

Couldn’t put It down!

I loved this book! I related to It so much the love she had for Gabe but also craving a love like Darren. Read the whole book Christmas Day! The first time in a long time I’ve been able to do that! Looking for a romance? Get this book!

If you want to hear an ungrateful woman whine, this is the book.
