I am very delighted to be hosting this giveaway. I read this book over the summer, and it is really, *really* good; told in duel timelines (one moving forward in time, the other moving backward) it is, essentially, the story of a friend break-up. It is still fairly rare to see a book treat a platonic relationship with the same seriousness that we treat romantic ones, but I think we all have, or have had, friends whom we love as truly as we have our romantic partners -- even if that love is in a different category. (I do think this is one of the reasons that *Anne of Green Gables* is so beloved; Diana is as important to the story, if not arguably more important, than Gilbert Blythe is.) Anyway, this book is really very funny and thoughtful and full of *feelings* \-- and, not for nothing, also has one of the best book boyfriends I've read recently. It comes out on Tuesday, but we have one copy to give away!
