“Extraordinary.”—Emily Giffin
He was the first person to inspire her, to move her, to truly understand her. Was he meant to be the last?
Lucy is faced with a life-altering choice. But before she can make her decision, she must start her story—their story—at the very beginning.
Lucy and Gabe meet as seniors at Columbia University on a day that changes both of their lives forever. Together, they decide they want their lives to mean something, to matter. When they meet again a year later, it seems fated—perhaps they'll find life's meaning in each other. But then Gabe becomes a photojournalist assigned to the Middle East and Lucy pursues a career in New York. What follows is a thirteen-year journey of dreams, desires, jealousies, betrayals, and, ultimately, of love. Was it fate that brought them together? Is it choice that has kept them away? Their journey takes Lucy and Gabe continents apart, but never out of each other's hearts.
This devastatingly romantic debut novel about the enduring power of first love, with a shocking, unforgettable ending, is Love Story for a new generation.
“It's the epic love story of 2017.”—Redbook

Did not care for the audio in this book. It is read so fast and not at a pace you would expect. Overall had a hard time liking these characters
This one wrecked me!
This was so good. I cried so many times throughout this story. This is my new favorite book so much so I chose to own the audiobook and purchase the hardcover. Will definitely pick it back up again in the future! Thank you for writing this and moving me to have a good soul cry.
Great read/listen
A very tragic love story, the kind of love some of us never get to experience.
