I borrowed this Kindle book from my local library.I'm glad I borrowed it from the library instead of buying it, as it only took me about an hour to read and I didn't really like it as much as I thought I would.  I loved both On Dublin Street and Down London Road, but this one kind of missed the mark.The book starts after Ellie and Adam are a couple, many months after her tumor surgery.  Ellie is sifting through boxes and comes across her journals that tell the story of her evolving relationship with Adam.Present day Adam is a sweet, romantic, devoted boyfriend.  Past day Adam is a douchecanoe of epic proportions!  He's constantly sending Ellie mixed messages, interfering with her dates, parading his many one-night stands around Ellie...He treats the other woman he dates terribly, and I don't understand why that's not a turn-off for Ellie.  Ellie doesn't really have much of a backbone, not standing up to him enough.  Present day Adam seems contrite, but every time I'd read another past encounter I wished Ellie would tell him off for good.  She deserved better.This is just a novella, so there really isn't much to the story, but I kind of get the feeling there isn't enough here to warrant a full novel either.
