I don't usually get emotional over a book but The Fall did it for me!  The description of the confrontations Ted had with each of his friends, including Caroline's ex-Smitty, saddened me to the point of tears.  He tries to explain how his feelings for Caroline were as much a surprise to him as they were to others, but they turn away from him after twenty years of friendship.  His mother's reaction to the new relationship is balanced by Caroline's parents' reaction.  There's a scene where it all catches up to Ted and Caroline that left me not wanting to put the book down until I found out what their future would bring.  A great read!
