    Too much back and forth. The story could’ve been shorter.

    Can the fifth time be the charm? Olivia and Fred meet for the first time as teenagers and they have big plans for a lifetime together. But life doesn't always turn out the way we plan, and they drift apart. Now it's twenty years later, and Olivia is going back to her childhood home to help clean it out before it's sold. Turns out, Fred has gone on to become quite a successful and wealthy man, and has bought the house. And we learn that their relationship has been a 5-year cycle of coming together for a bit, only to be pulled apart again by circumstances, by misunderstandings, by life in general. Over the course of the book we see the previous four time periods where they tried to make things work. Now Olivia's marriage is crumbling, and their attraction is as strong as ever. Can they manage to make it work for the long haul this time? These are very human characters - they make bad decisions. They don't always communicate well. We don't always agree with what they say/do. It's almost like real life. But by the end I was pulling for them to get past their past and move into their future. It was a very good debut novel. I did listen to the audiobook, and the narration by Megan Tusing was excellent.
