Feeling compelled to take on the knight in shining armor role, Ben slides into the booth next to Fallon and pretends to be her boyfriend.Īfter defusing the situation and leaving her father suitably befuddled, the pair spend the day together - obviously - and, in doing so, manage to fall pretty much head over heels in love with each other. The pair meet - in pretty much the cutest of meet cutes - when our male lead, Ben, hears the father of our female lead, Fallon, being relatively insensitive to her in a public place. Instead, they are both young - 18-years-old - and single. Unlike in Same Time Next Year, the destined - or maybe doomed, depending on how you look at it - pair of lovers in this book is neither old nor married. Well, that and I am in the middle of a pretty serious Colleen Hoover binge, so this was a logical next choice. Ultimately, it was the similarity between the plot of this film - which will forever hold a place in my esteem - and the plot of this book that first attracted me to November 9. This romantic dramedy starred Alan Alda and Ellen Burstyn as two married people who, after accidentally hooking up one night, decide to make said hook-up an annual ritual and enact plans to meet every year, on the same date, at the same remote New England hotel. Anyway, the classic film that ended up being my favorite was Same Time Next Year.
