The book brought an array of emotions in me, to the point that I couldn’t keep reading through the tears.Hope and Cam had a relationship in high school, they went their separate ways in college and started living their lives without each other.  In a period of seven years life happened for Hope and Cam, they moved, they changed jobs, they met other people and started relationships, but the only thing that remained constant was the love they had for each other. Throughout those seven years they saw each other, they connected physically  and they hurt each other deeply, but their love remained. Now years after their high school romance started, Cam takes a leap of faith with a Sick Day to win Hope back once and for all. Would he succeed in his effort and finally make the connection that they always had or will Hope ignore his efforts and go back to her life?The book moves from the present time to the past and back to the present, it also gives us a more soulful understanding about Oliver and Olivia’s story and the similarities with Cam and Hope’s. I recommend that people read Non Fiction and Hope to clearly understand the story.The beauty of Morgan Parker’s books is that this could be your story, or your friend’s or your neighbor’s. He writes about life and the journey that it takes us through. His books are real, raw, full of tenderness, with a hint of sarcasm and a sense of humor. All those qualities are what set him apart from other writers.This book made me think about Cam and Hope’s  love story and how far Cam went to finally claim that part of him that was missing for so long, it also made me think about my life, what’s missing and what I would do to fill that void.  I’ll leave you with one of the quotes from this book (other than the very end, but you have to read the book to find out what that is) that affected me the most. It’s a very profound and so true…“Nobody wants to arrive at their destination only to be greeted by loneliness, do they?”
