I just finished reading "One Day" by David Nicholls. This is a fabulous novel that takes place over the course of about twenty years. The catch is that each chapter is written on the same day of the year, just different years and at different points in the characters life. The style was refreshing and unexpected. It was amazing how close you felt to the characters even after only meeting them during a single day every year. The story itself was about the life and relationships between two friends, Emma and Dexter, and their heartbreaking back and forth relationship. Initially I thought it would be just a light and easy read, but it ended up being a really intense, thought-provoking, and tragic story. This was a very true and real story, which was a welcome change to so many novels targeted at women my age.
