The performance was outstanding and the story was engaging and sweet. I would have loved for some more exploration of the transition of the main characters as I sometimes felt the story lingered in less interesting dynamics than that of Dex and Em’s evolving relationship. The story had deep themes of love and friendship through out in beautifully rendered characters. The interesting structure of one day a year over many years was interesting and skilfully crafted - definitely worth a listen.

Purposeful use of flashbacks to illuminate different aspects of the relationship between Em and Dex is clever.

Great story

I really enjoy this book. I read it many years ago and was excited to listen to it on my daily commute. The narrated is very irritating, over acting and her Suki Meadows voice grates my brain.

I love the book, the narration is very irritating
