It wasn't quite what I was led to expect from the synopsis. However, it was very well-written. The characters were identifiable as real people and the story relevant to anyone who has ever felt disappointment with a relationship. The end didn't resolve quite enough for me, but since there is a sequel, I guess it can be forgiven. I would recommend, unless you're looking for the happily-ever-after ending that is so unrealistic.
