Dex and Emma don't exactly "meet" on the first page of the book - more like "hook up" - because they'd seen one another around before, but never been friends. But college graduation day can make lots of things happen that weren't previously possible.
Fast forward ahead one year: Dex is traveling the world, and Em is doing community theatre. They're pen pals. Zip ahead another year: Em's a waitress in a bad Mexican restaurant, and Dex is missing her in India (or is he?).
Each chapter in this book takes place on June 15, and the book spans 20 years of the relationship between "Dex-and-Em, Em-and-Dex." It's a great premise - and it's amazing how much or how little can change in a single year.
This book is funny, heart-warming, heart-breaking and truly, truly excellent. Either you KNOW these characters, you WANT to know these characters, or you ARE these characters: they're the good, the bad, and the ugly all rolled into one. How will they grow up? Will they grow up? What will happen in the next year? I couldn't wait to find out.
