It follows the tale of the Banning brothers, who meet up with Laurel Peyton on a beach in 1970. Laura falls for one brother, and then the other, causing friction between the siblings.
None are aware at first that fate has already joined them irrevocably.
Years before, the Banning parents and Laura's father had died in a tragic road accident together without ever having met before.
Some describe The Days of Summer as being heavy going and depressing at times, so it is best read under full sunlight.
