Couldn’t stand it
Maybe I wouldn’t have hated this book as much if I didn’t hate the selfish, self absorbed, delusional narrator so much. I also couldn’t get past that this “love story” began after the twin towers were bombed by terrorists on 9/11. Maybe because I lived through that (like anyone else born before that date) and remember clearly it was not a time for romance. This story read more to me like a cautionary tale on the importance of LETTING GO as opposed to obsessing over lost first loves. I almost feel sorry for anyone who would actually identify with Lucy. Please, move on. You deserve better and I promise you better IS out there.
