The New York Times Bestseller and A Reese’s Book Club Pick
 
“This love story between Lucy & Gabe spans decades and continents as two star-crossed lovers try to return to each other…Will they ever meet again? This book kept me up at night, turning the pages to find out, and the ending did not disappoint.”—Reese Witherspoon

“One Day meets Me Before You meets your weekender bag.”—The Skimm

“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

I didn’t care for this style of book, read it for a book club. I didn’t feel it had much substance.

Easy read Ending was absolutely heartbreaking Hold on to the ones you love the most because you never know when you won’t have them doing life with you again

In the beginning, this story was a bit slow. But, as the story developed, the author weaved more intricate details that drew me in. Choices we make with our hearts can be very different from those made with a rational mind.

This book had me waiting for something to happen. I couldn't wait to finish it. A bit slow.

I loved the poetry in the author's words, her honest and real feelings. I wanted to love all of this story but I couldn't. I hated the ending of the story. That the character never had to face the reality of the consequences of the situation she started.
