kerameia's review against another edition

2.0

The concept was intriguing and the characters very real and familiar, especially given their experiences of transition into the adult world. As the story went on, however, I found that I didn't connect with the characters or their evolving relationships, and I wasn't convinced by the outcome.

Perceptive, witty, close to the bone and heart-wrenching.

A sucker, I am, for stories such as One Day, so unsurprisingly, I quickly found myself hooked into lives of Dexter, and Emma. I was immediately captured by their relationship, and could not put the book down. Devoured it in 5 hours, I did. What appealed to me greatly was how the storyline grew with Dex and Em's relationship. It blossomed, and unfolded page by page – year by year. I was entranced. Not only that, the pace was quick. The story flowed smoothly as the relationship deepened over time.
This is not a perfect book, but I definitely came out of the reading satisfied.

My Rating: 8/10
