As a part of my daughter's VCE reading pile, I read this one, and I really enjoyed. The story has a fragmented timeline and each chapter is told from a different character's perspective: Nine characters for nine chapter. It is surprising how one couple's love story can be told through various timelines, some decades after the events themselves. But this story works and was utterly convincing in portraying each character and time period.

Favourite to least favourite of the main characters (the only correct ranking):
* Connie
* Kip
* Jean
* Charlotte (because she didn't actually do what was at the end of her chapter)
* Jack, Annabel (bros are boring)
* Alec
* Stanzi
* Francis

i mean it wasn't bad for a school book.
i was just super confused at the beginning of each chapter trying to figure out who the person was and what year it was set in.
