"This love story between Lucy & Gabe spans decades and continents as two star-crossed lovers try to return to each other...Will they ever meet again? This book kept me up at night, turning the pages to find out, and the ending did not disappoint."--Reese Witherspoon

He was the first person to inspire her, to move her, to truly understand her. Was he meant to be the last?
Lucy is faced with a life-altering choice. But before she can make her decision, she must start her story--their story--at the very beginning.
Lucy and Gabe meet as seniors at Columbia University on a day that changes both of their lives forever. Together, they decide they want their lives to mean something, to matter. When they meet again a year later, it seems fated--perhaps they'll find life's meaning in each other. But then Gabe becomes a photojournalist assigned to the Middle East and Lucy pursues a career in New York. What follows is a thirteen-year journey of dreams, desires, jealousies, betrayals, and, ultimately, of love. Was it fate that brought them together? Is it choice that has kept them away? Their journey takes Lucy and Gabe continents apart, but never out of each other's hearts.
This devastatingly romantic debut novel about the enduring power of first love, with a shocking, unforgettable ending, is Love Story for a new generation.
"It's the epic love story of 2017."--Redbook
Disappointing Massively disappointed that theskimm has highly recommended this novel. While the writing style and voice are authentic, the main characters are hardly likable, borderline annoying - one is a self-absorbed romanticist with a life-long daddy issue; another is an unappreciative, narrow-visioned wannabe feminist who's hopelessly unaware of her own selfishness and her lack of responsibility in the name of pursuing "true love". I did not cry; I did not laugh; the storyline is so predictable that I had hoped that there'd be this amazing twist at the end. Well, that never happened. I almost got angry that I wasted my entire train ride on this frustrating tale between two reckless and childish fictional lovers. Not worth it.We are just told to believe their romance is amazing and worth the constant betrayal of the main characters ... Poorly written in an awkward and distracting first person point of view.Author is never able to establish the central premise. These characters are supposed to have an intense, tragic romance that moves us to tears and sadness. But this is not portrayed by the book or characters. Rather, the author just tells us that it is an intense and tragic romance. She never convincingly shows us. The characters are unlikeable and selfish. Because of the first person point of view I never even remotely understood the main male character's motivations. The characters never have a serious discussion regarding their relationship. No depth whatsoever. We are just told to believe their romance is amazing and worth the constant betrayal of the main characters wonderful husband and children. Emotional and physical adultery are portrayed as hopelessly romantic. Finished and could not have cared less about the "tragic" ending. Last punch of the book was Lucy ruining her third son's life with another first person (lol) letter saying what an amazing guy Gabe was.hurt a man who had done nothing but love her. If she had truly loved Gabe I found the book ok, but I have to say that I think that is biased because of my age. I thought Gabe was a selfish prick who did not care about the havoc he wrought in Lucy's personal life. He cared about people but only from afar. Lucy was willing to ruin her family, cause upheaval in her children's lives, hurt a man who had done nothing but love her. If she had truly loved Gabe, she would have left with him the first time. Now that is from a perspective of 66 years. If I was 23, I would have loved this book. So go figure.
