The book shifts perspective in three persons actually. Duncan’s perspective was kind of a ‘Fever Pitch’ input in this novel. And their heated argument is the reason why “you should never meet your heroes.” For it to be at the end makes sense because all it really was is Annie and Tucker’s growth, not their romance and relationship. It’s really a journey. A fun one that I enjoyed reading.

I’m starting to believe Nick Hornby’s a Joni Mitchell fan. Anyways, the essential two characters; it’s nice how we see them struggle. Especially with Tucker, not having enough money to pay for his trip while being put at a superstar pedestal; and Annie who’s redirecting her life all over again— Hornby craves on your empathy for them. They’re characters that aren’t perfectly written but well thought-of.

Wow, what a chapter seven! Things between Annie & Duncan unfolded smoothly and Hornby’s writing made me stop, highlight, think, & reflect.
“But people who are quite content don’t have a rubbish life,” said by Malcolm, Annie’s co-worker who’s putting up with him (ironically).
“Even if he could take everything he owned, he’d still be leaving it behind” is for Duncan. It’s such a great partition.

I made the hard decision to watch the film first (means I’ll be spoiled) but it definitely helped me to understand the main three characters: Annie, Duncan, and Tucker. The movie is faithful to the book (unlike Duncan lol) and I could go away with just Annie’s POV (like the movie). ‘Cause I couldn’t care less for Duncan so I didn’t read his POV on the Juliet house. Blame Mark Manson! But it’s fun so far.
