Naomi and Ely have grown up across the hall from each other in their Manhattan apartments. They have been together forever and know every detail about each other. Naomi knows that she and Ely will grow up to be married, have children, and live happily ever after.
Even if Ely is gay.
However, as many of us find out, life rarely turns out the way people plan. Parents don't always stay married, we don't always marry the person we love the most, people don't always keep promises, boys don't always love girls, and soul mates don't really exist. No matter how much you think they do. No matter how desperately you want them to. Life just doesn't happen that way. And really, should it?
This story is told in chapters of varying points of view. Your heart races, it aches, and it loves while you are brought into the world of lovable but flawed characters.
One of the biggest questions that comes up again and again is: How does one go on with life when everything they once knew and once planned on is no longer possible?

complex characters + witty banter + edgy Manhattan= one good book~!
An easy, light-hearted, entertaining read. A nice change-of-pace, after the heavy books I have been reading lately.
this book was wonderful these two writers work well together.
I loved this book! I couldn't put the book down. I loved the characters in the book too and the way it was all written. I highly suggest reading this book if you want a nice, quick read that was really well put together.
