A Seven-Out-of-Ten Crush

This book is about a secret crush during school, a youthful time of innocence and awkwardness. What they couldn't hold on to was the approaching separation at graduation. Just as they were finally about to promise to attend the same university, disagreements drove them to go their separate ways. Three years later, they met again at a class reunion, recognized each other, and decided to walk hand in hand toward the altar, then grow old together. The book says, "I don't envy couples in the throes of passion; I only envy people in their seventies." Some say marriage is the grave of love, but I disagree.
