I'm honestly not sure how to rate this. It was missing some of the glee and intensity that I've grown used to in romance novels, but it was underscored by this deep thread of sincere belief. None of the butterflies of a first meeting, but perhaps a healthier strong core?
This was a good book, I think. I know it's technically still romance but it felt a bit like reading out of genre for me all the same. The tropes and themes were all very different so I have a harder time knowing whether they were used well or underutilized. What I can say is that I cared deeply about the charecters and I really adored the underlying message of the book. I did also enjoy reading it, but if I'm totally honest that last one is an easy bar to clear. I am glad I read it, I really almost didn't.

pretty much retelling of the marriage counseling 101 textbook.
no plots, no twists, no story.

3-not enough dialogue for my liking, but a unique enough premise that makes some good points.

To be totally honest, I was very hesitant in regards to this book at first. A married couple who is having married trouble and roleplays as other versions of themselves in order to repair their marriage? but I thought it was a delight. It was a fun twist on one of my favorite tropes, second chance romance.
Also,.I hope David gets a spin-off book. I'd be interested in his story.
