Marry Me, Joshua Henkin!
This book made me remember that heady, breathtaking feeling of college friendships and romances. Back in the day when you and your friends could argue about authors, share your dreams of writing a novel and sit naked in hot tubs without feeling like a loser, a poser or a pervert. Tender, kind and glowing. Great dialogue, great characters and lovely relationships that grew and matured beautifully. There is hope for matrimony after all!
