This book comes after A Poem for What's Her Name. But it actually takes place in between the beginning of Doc's relationship with Sam, and the end of that book when they finally move in together. So, in this book, Doc talks about what happened during those three years directly after they met but lived in different states.
It was interesting and introduced a couple new people into the story, as well as giving us a better introduction to family members and incidents that are only alluded to in "A Poem...". It had some laugh out loud moments, but was overall a more serious book about some serious issues regarding love, and life.
I feel bad not giving it more than 3 stars. It has the basics: a talented writer, good editing, great character development. But i just felt it was 'ok' and i didn't enjoy it nearly as much as the previous book. Maybe it's the timeline thing. with this book hopping back in time to tell us about years that we already got past in 'A Poem...". i'm not sure. So i'm not going to suggest anyone NOT buy it, it's not a bad book, and like i said, has the basics, it just didn't speak to me as much.
