They have been in love and have been best friends since they were teenagers. Afraid of losing each other they decide to just be friends . Ivo a foreign photojournalist comes back home to Henry injured and they individually decide their love is still strong. I really loved the book and Henry is so strong I couldn’t wait for the audio. Joel Leslie’s narration was a big disappointment. He always sounds as if he is on the verge of tears. His accents are good. That is the only positive I can say about his narration.
