Rosie Dunne's dream is to manage, and eventually, own a luxury hotel. She loves everything about the hotel experience, down to the little soaps. Her best friend since they were five is Alex. Alex's dream is to become a doctor. The friends are partners in crime growing up in Dublin until Alex's family moves to Boston for his dad's job for their senior year of high school. They remain long distance best friends via email and IM. Rosie's acceptance to Boston College to study Hotel Management and Alex's Harvard acceptance means they will be back together again until Rosie's life goes off track and keeps her in Dublin. Everyone around them seems to know they are destined to be together as more than friends, even Rosie and Alex, but the two never seem to be on the same page at the same time.
The novel is told entirely in email and IMs, birthday cards and wedding announcements. Ahern really puts the characters, especially Rosie, through the wringer. Rosie is one resilient Irish lass.
