DANA SCHWARTZ On an otherwise ordinary day, 26-year-old American expat Adelaide Williams walks into a London hospital and asks for help. Something's not right. She doesn't feel like herself any more. For the past year, she's been dating Rory Hughes, the charming man she met when she was least expecting to fall in love. Does he respond to texts? Honour his commitments? Make advance plans?

Reviewed by ChrisiI enjoyed this book a lot. The Story, the topics, the events might not be special or unique, it's rather an "everyday life story" I would say, yet I loved how Geneviève Wheeler describes it, gives sight into differnt perspectives and knows how to use words to describe complex, sad situations and made me laugh at the same time.
