Synopsis
It’s 1988 and Dexter Mayhew and Emma Morley have only just met. They both know that the next day, after graduation, they must go their own separate ways, but after only one day they cannot stop thinking about each other. As the years go by Dex and Em begin to lead separate lives – lives very different from the people they dreamed they would become. Over twenty years, snapshots of that relationship are revealed on the same day – July 15th – of each year and through their squabbles and fights, hopes and missed opportunities we see how their live’s progress……
Our Review
A funny, moving book about the love and friendship of Emma and Dexter over 20 years. We found that visiting them on the same day every year showed how Emma grew in confidence and how Dexter battled with his drug and alcohol addiction. An easy read which we all enjoyed – apart from the ending!
