Alex Stewart And Rosie Dunne: Plot Summary

Decent Essays
Alex Stewart and Rosie Dunne has been friends since childhood. The couple became best friends and shared everything in their life including their unconfessed love. They got into different marriage with different partner few times yet they did not have the chance to confess their true feelings. Rosie was blessed with Katie; her only daughter to accompany her throughout her ups and down in her life.
The moment I finished reading the novel, I was frustrated towards Alex as he was a man with a high ego. I felt that I have gone through a long-no-end-love-story where Alex keeps on making mistakes by marrying other women instead of Rosie. The character’s attitude should change instead of the plot. Thus, Katie’s presence will help in matchmaking them.
