In search of a good book

I just received an e-mail from a reader who's looking for a book that was reviewed in The Sun a few years ago. While I search through the archives today, I thought I'd pose the question to you guys, too: Do you know what this book is?

"I would be much obliged if you could help me locate a specific book review published in the Sun during either 2007 or 2008. I've searched the general Sun archives and the Balt Co databases but had not much luck. My hope is that you will recognize the following description and be able to give me an idea of author or title.

"In the review, there is a sizable quotation from the opening paragraphs of the book where the narrator says

"While I have spent many years with my girlfriend, after the physical attraction to her was gone, in spite of how much sharing we did, I realized it was 'time to go.' "

Got an idea? Let us know!
