Meet Jane and Abe and learn about their love story throughout the decades. Today, Jane is on her deathbed; Abe is telling their love story.

I enjoyed the vignettes, woven through so many places I love in NYC. However, but struggled with the mid book change from the 1st POV to a 3rd person POV.

Overall, a very generous 3*. I can only hope that the March "Read with Jenna" pick, moves towards an upward trajectory.

loveinit's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH: 49%

I did not like the book.. The sentences were incomplete..like partial thoughts- just was not enjoyable for me to read.  Some readers may relate to the characters in the book. I did enjoy the descriptions of different lovers in Central Park.  I almost finished the book..I do not enjoy reading books about mothers whom cannot connect with their children or babies..
