Description
Falling in love is the easy part. What matters most is what happens next...
Fisher and Ivy have been an item for a whole nineteen days. And they just know they are meant to be together. The fact that they know little else about each other is a minor detail. Over the course of twelve months, in which their lives will change forever, Fisher and Ivy discover that falling in love is one thing, but staying there is an entirely different story.
The Two of Us is a charming, honest and heart-breaking novel about life, love, and the importance of taking neither one for granted.

Fisher and Ivy have had a whirlwind romance. Nineteen days of spending every minute possible with each other but their intimacy comes to an abrupt end when they spontaneously meet Fishers' family. Fisher can't quite understand why this has happened, was it too much too soon? After a standoffish few days, Ivy finally reveals the issue and suddenly the relationship has to be re evaluated.
What I really appreciated in this novel were the ages of Fisher and Ivy, 32 and 41 respectively. It was refreshing to see how adults who are entrenched in their ways and routines have to deal with some consequences. We see how relationships really are work in progress and there is a lot of give and take and miscommunication (in a very realistic way not a 'chick lit' way)
This was written as Fisher's story and I'm sure that is a different perspective than Ivy's would be. There are some lovely interactions of Fisher between his childhood friend El, who is in the last stages of Huntington's Disease, with all his inappropriate behaviour, I found them very touching and also Fisher's relationship with elderly neighbour Esther.
Personally I found this novel very deceptive, it's one that slowly got under my skin and I didn't realise how much I enjoyed it until I turned the last page.
