What this book is about
Rosie and Alex have been best friends since childhood, but their paths diverge when a pregnancy keeps Rosie in Dublin while Alex goes to Harvard. The novel follows them through their twenties and thirties in letters, emails, and notes—the format that captures all the things you can say in writing that you can't say in person. Ahern's epistolary novel is one of the most popular romantic comedies of the 2000s, built on the genuine frustration of two people who are perfect for each other and keep missing the moment.
