The book gives a real bases on what real life can be like. The love and the off and on again relationships, the falling outs between two people who deeply love each other. Although it was frustrating seeing two characters we know very well, not have enough communication skills to give us the satisfying ending that we all crave for, it doesn't mean it's a "bad" or "badly executed" plot device. I greatly appreciate the realistic values the book has and the need to be honest about the real world, with no other motives. I would recommend this book to everyone who is interested.
