I knew a bit about this book before I started reading it, but it still made me cry. Didn't stop me from reading it all in one sitting. 

Don't go into this book thinking it's a romance novel, because it's not. It's a journey through someone's life who thinks everything has to go exactly like she plans it, and then her desperation to not fall apart when it doesn't. 

I rarely read books that don't center around romance, so this was new for me, but I enjoyed it. Even after it made me cry.
