Just fantastic. Read it! The two main characters were believable and likable and so human: I felt disoriented when they lost themselves and joy when they discovered who they were and their value. The baggage each accumulated over the years and how their lives just happened to them instead of their deciding what it should be; is the very essence of being a human being. Tess’ obligation to her sister is grounded in love yet sometime simmers with the knowledge of what she had to give up. And Gus’s unresolved relationship with his older brother Dolores his entire life until.... what was meant to happen finally does. Wonderful prose. I couldn’t put it down.

4.0 out of 5 stars This would be a great movie

Gus and Tess cross paths in Italy as 18 year olds getting ready to head off to college. Tess returns home to find her whole world changed and her plans to go to college are no longer an option. Gus and Tess' lives over the next 16 years are told throughout this book; lives filled with difficulties, poor choices and paths not taken.
This is a very engaging book where the readers are cheering for Gus and Tess throughout the book. I think this book would make a great movie and it was a book I thoroughly enjoyed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting and well-written
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2018

There were parts of this story that I really liked. I liked the main idea in the story that we may have “close encounters” with certain people throughout our lives, that fate/serendipity/God – whatever you want to call it – directs our paths. I love how this theme is woven into the story, sometimes so discreetly, you almost miss it.

Overall, an interesting and well-written story. I liked most of the characters. I got a little bored with the side stories, waiting for the h/h to finally get together, but it ended perfectly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Romance and Loss
Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2018

This was almost a (5) star romance. I couldn't help but like and sympathize with the two destined-to-finally-be-together characters, Tess and Gus. But, the author also made each them a little bit too weak, too self-sacrificing, and that made them just a little annoying. I kept wanting to tell them NOT to make such poor choices. The ending as a bittersweet note to it, which shouldn't surprise anyone since there is a tone of sadness throughout the story. Tess and Gus have both experienced loss, and I think that is the theme of the story.

What an incredibly beautiful story! Tess and Gus spend a lifetime of almosts, a series of seemingly inconsequential brief encounters as we follow them in their lives from teenagers to adulthood. A love story like no other, it shares the paths of two people fated to meet again and again until the time is right. Truly makes you think about timing and how one small changed plan may have or could change the outcome of your entire life. Highly recommended read!!

A slender fragile thread that links 2 characters in a cast of many. Near misses, passing moments kept my interest fully engaged as the reader, and a few what ifs kept my brain working.
I am guilty of reading too quickly and skimming over details, but this story kept me fully aware of what was happening.
I loved it.

Solitamente sono poco critica nei confronti di questo genere "leggero". Ma nonostante la buona idea di base, trovo che la storia sia forzata. Almeno io la trovo così. Mi ha abbattuta, quando cercavo una storia di sentimenti e di speranza.

4.0 out of 5 stars Si vous avez aimé "Un jour" de David Nicholls...
Reviewed in France on September 20, 2016
Verified Purchase
Teresa et Angus se croisent pour la première fois à Florence, à la fin de l'été 1997. Teresa est alors sur le point de perdre sa mère d'un cancer et de voir ses rêves d'études universitaires s'envoler car elle est la seule à bien vouloir s'occuper de sa petite soeur autiste, Hope. De son côté, Angus court pour oublier que quelques mois plus tôt, son frère aîné Ross - le fils préféré de leurs parents - est mort dans un accident de ski. Il s'apprête à faire médecine comme le défunt, mais sans aucun enthousiasme. Au fil des ans, Teresa et Angus ne vont cesser de se rater partout où ils iront avant de se découvrir à un moment où il semble qu'il n'y a plus d'espoir pour eux...

Si cette présentation de "Miss you" vous rappelle "Un jour" de David Nicholls, c'est bien normal - moi-même, je n'ai cessé de comparer les deux durant ma lecture. Mais le roman de Kate Eberlen, lui, fait fi de tout souci de vraisemblance. Seize ans de rencontres manquées pour que, à la fin, les deux héros se rappellent qu'ils se sont parlé pendant trente secondes lors de leurs précédentes vacances en Italie. J'avoue, je suis jalouse de leur mémoire. En revanche, ils peuvent se garder le manque de discernement qui leur fait enchaîner des choix de vie épouvantables jusqu'au moment où le coup de foudre les frappe enfin et où ils commencent à parler mariage au bout de 24 heures.

On ne dirait pas, mais j'ai dévoré "Miss you". Malgré l'énorme suspension d'incrédulité qu'il exige du lecteur, je l'ai trouvé bien écrit, à la fois touchant et réaliste dans sa façon d'aborder des sujets difficiles tels que le deuil, l'autisme ou le cancer. J'ai apprécié le fait que les vies parallèles des deux héros se faisaient écho de maintes façons, de sorte qu'ils semblaient réellement destinés l'un à l'autre. Et j'ai beaucoup apprécié la conclusion de Gus, dans le genre "De toute façon, on ne sait jamais de quoi demain sera fait". Puis ce n'est pas tous les jours qu'on lit une histoire d'amour qui s'arrête au moment de la rencontre des amoureux!
