Publisher Comments:

Rosie and Alex are destined for one another, and everyone seems to know it but them. Best friends since childhood, their relationship gets closer by the day, until Alex gets the news that his family is leaving Dublin and moving to Boston: At 17, Rosie and Alex have just started to see each other in a more romantic light. Devastated, the two make plans for Rosie to apply to colleges in the U.S. She gets into Boston University, Alex gets into Harvard, and everything is falling into place, when on the eve of her departure, Rosie gets news that will change their lives forever: She's pregnant by a boy she'd gone out with while on the rebound from Alex. Her dreams for college, Alex, and a glamorous career dashed, Rosie stays in Dublin to become a single mother, while Alex pursues a medical career and a new love in Boston. But destiny is a funny thing, and in this novel, structured as a series of clever e-mails, letters, notes, and a trail of missed opportunities, Alex and Rosie find out that fate isn't done with them yet. From the gifted author of PS, I Love You comes this charming, romantic, addictively page-turning novel that will keep readers laughing and guessing until the very last page.

Synopsis:

Previously published as "Rosie Dunne," this delightfully enchanting novel about what happens when two people who are meant to be together just can't seem to get it right is written by the gifted author of the widely acclaimed, bestselling "PS, I Love You."

To put it plainly, I loved this book! It was charming and endearing, yet at the same time rough enough around the edges to make it realistic. Rosie Dunne is a character you can't help not to like and each hardship and success she goes through, you feel it too. The rest of the characters were also well written and voiced and at the end of the novel, otherwise known as the end of Rosie's fifty year journey, I couldn't do anything but read it all over again.
