While the initial context for the book is not unique, the author takes the reader on a journey. The ending is not expected, but perfect.

This book was recommended to me by a friend but I cannot recommend it myself. The plot is painfully slow and the characters are single dimensional and, well, boring. The conclusion is weak and meaningless and in my opinion unbelievable. If I were the publisher, I would have rejected the book or suggested it be reformatted into a short story (at least that way one might believe that there were unspoken qualities to the characters. I was a little bit embarassed that I even bothered to finish it but since it was recommended to me by someone I like, well...hope springs eternal.

I loved everything about this book. The use of language is quite intelligent yet the story is quite simple. It's about a woman, married with a child, who often thinks back on her first love. Thinking that her husband has cheated on her, she takes steps to contact that love. I was saddened to find out that Tom McNeal only wrote one other novel. I was looking forward to reading a lot more of him.

i absolutely LOVED this book! The characters are engaging, the writing is beautiful and the story is bittersweet.

A very interesting read and although I am not a fan of love stories I liked this book and how they were able to find each other again. The whole storage locker thing got way too much time in this book and didn't really seem to tie in with the rest of the story line. Terrible way to end this book although it will stick with me forever I think.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a bit slow in the beginning but the pace picked up in Part 2. The ending was abrupt and a total disappointment in my opinion. Would make a good movie. P.S>Don't read the prologue.
