Tugged at my heartstrings

This life-affirming story follows the lives of George and Henry. George and Henry are best friends, until a kiss in a garden shed changes everything. Afterwards, their lives are never the same again.

The story is told in the format of a diary; George's diary. The diary format was something that I enjoyed. A diary is something unique and personal to the author. They document their thoughts, feelings and memories. Their diary is their own personal journey, and what a journey it was. George's narrative made me smile, but there was something about it that struck me as deep and thought-provoking. I felt that George was very genuine and sincere; he didn't sugar coat anything or pretend to be anything that he was not, particularly when it came to his marriage to Eileen.

Reading this, I thought about love and how wonderful it is. Love may be unexpected, surprising, and it doesn't require an explanation. Love may be complicated, or perhaps it isn't always easy, but at the same time, it's so simple. Every relationship is unique, and the experience of love, and being in love is different for everyone. I think that's the beauty of it.

Love doesn't always last, and not every love story is like this one. This tugged at my heartstrings, while at the same time giving me a very warm and fuzzy feeling. By the time I reached the end, I was in tears, but so glad that I'd decided to read this.
