The Dive from Clausen's PierBy Ann Packer
Here is what I remember about this book. High school sweethearts find tragedy when the young man is paralyzed in an auto accident? Carrie busts out of the relationship and finds a new life.
Supposedly, I really liked this book. Although I'm not sure why.
My favorite quote: "You are the kind of person you are. You do what you do."
Not the most eloquent. I also summarized the novel as "a Bridges of Madison Cty for the younger sector." Cripes, I wouldn't go back to this book with a ten foot pole.
An old college friend once said this book reminded her of my relationship with Matt. Which, I guess I understand. We were high school sweethearts. But neither of us has been in a tragic car accident. And I like to think our relationship is not quite so stale as the one in this book. I didn't know how to respond to her then and I don't really know what to say about this book now.
