This book begins in Edinburgh in 1988 with Emma Morley and Dexter Mayhew. They have just graduated from Ediburgh University. They have very different ideas about what they want to do after graduation. Dexter wants to travel the world, while Emma isn't sure what she wants from her post graduate life. The chapters are modelled so that they are set on the anniversary of the day they met - 15 July. Overall, this was a really lighthearted book which I will definitely be reading again in the future. A truly beautiful book about two people who have known each other for 20 years as they battle work, relationships and being an adult.
