This is probably the best romance book that I've ever read. Not only was it a book about books and the writing process, it focused on the main characters as people. There was much discussion about love itself and the delusion of happy endings, as well as plenty of homages to classic romantic comedies... And I almost cried at the end.

Yes, I'm secretly a sap and this book nailed it for me. I loved the plot, the intricacy of the relationship between January and Gus, the portrayal of grief, just EVERYTHING!!!
