Laura and Lila were college roommates--one brooding and Jewish, the other the epitome of golden WASP-dom. Now it's ten years later, a day before Lila's wedding to Laura's former boyfriend, and as the guests arrive, Laura finds herself the only one not coupled up. Struggling with the traditionally thankless role of maid of honor, Laura realizes for the first time why she can't stop thinking about her long, tangled relationship with the groom. And it appears that he is not entirely ready for the altar himself. Unfolding over two days off the coast of Maine, The Romantics follows the shifting allegiances among an unforgettable set of characters.

Sent by mail to Ythan. I hope you will enjoy this book as much as I did.

Arrived safe and sound.

Thanks very much.

Easy enough to read and I enjoyed bits of it but I didn't get all the content that I wanted. Even though the events took place over a shorter period of time; I still imagined there would be more to the story than there was.

I've not see the film version yet but I imagine the events will be more significant or portrayed better on screen than on paper. That's my theory anyway.

It was an OK read. All the characters were not very likable and none of them a real "romantic".

The book was chosen from the Alphabet VBB and is now travelling back to Canada.

Arrived safe and sound. Thank you!
