Started this last night and am about a quarter of the way through (it is a pretty easy read).Found the style vastly irritating at first but am sufficiently intrigued to want to carry on - clearly there is more to the Ben character than meets the eye.
But the obvious structural similarity to "One Day" is niggling at me - I know the set-up is different but still...

I did think it was cleverly written with the ending as you would want it to be, I think I prefer to watch romance stories rather than read them. Regarding Ben and Fallon I had a hard time believing they were eighteen but aside from that I liked the way they were with each other.
Oh, I was a bit disappointed - I didn't want there to be a happy ending! Not sure what that says about me but...It just all felt a bit meh at the end. I wasn't a fan.

Perhaps you are sick of the saccharin sweet endings that are usual in romance.

Is the title a good one or a poor one and why?
Did you like the way the story ended? Why or why not?
Which character in the book would you choose for a friend? Why?

Tell about the most exciting part of the book.
Fallon meets Ben, an aspiring novelist, the day before her scheduled cross-country move. Their untimely attraction leads them to spend Fallon’s last day in L.A. together, and her eventful life becomes the creative inspiration Ben has always sought for his novel. Over time and amidst the various relationships and tribulations of their own separate lives, they continue to meet on the same date every year. Until one day Fallon becomes unsure if Ben has been telling her the truth or fabricating a perfect reality for the sake of the ultimate plot twist.
