This book hadn't been on my radar at all but it came up as a suggestion when playing around with ChatGPT when I asked for books similar to the movie The Girl in the Cafe. It also fit in for a reading challenge prompt for a book suggested by a random generator, so I picked it up right away.    Dex and Emma spent a day together in 1988. They never left each other's minds. That date becomes the focal point of decades of love, loss, mistakes, successes, and growing up.    I was hooked at the very start of the book but my interest fizzled out quickly. I didn't connect to the characters at all which made for a less enjoyable reading experience. Took away some great quotes though, so I'm glad I stuck with it.
