 I really don't understand why this book is so popular. While the actual writing is okay, I found the book to be a very slow read and to be honest a little boring. Going back to previous vacations 12 times got a little old since they had a lot of the same kinds of things on each vacation. I don't know how it could have been done differently, but each previous vacation felt a bit "been there done that...realize that you love each other already." I couldn't relate to either character. I also feel that that the intimate scenes in the book could have been toned down a lot. There is a lot of talk about sex and a couple actual descriptions of the character's intimacy that I felt were unnecessary to the plot.
