I couldn’t put this book down! I read it during a slow weekend in college and really enjoyed it. I’m used to reading stories about romance and love, but only the kind that you want to hear about; the kind that’s easy and cute.

Reading about the loss of love in a relationship is new for me. It really opened my eyes to the ugly side of love, which I’m not really forced to think about in other novels that I read. In addition to the emotional parts, I also loved the more lighthearted parts, like Rachel starting her own bakery, Charlie finding love, and Grandma Lois’ advice.

While some parts of the reasons Lauren and Ryan’s fell apart and the reason they handled the separation the way they did could’ve been developed a bit more, I did enjoy the book overall. It drew me in and made me think!

Ya know, I wasn’t feeling it at the beginning, but I trusted that TJR had a plan. She most definitely did and it was better than I could’ve imagined. Man, does she know how to tell a story.

For anyone who has been married for more than a couple years, something about this book will touch your heart. I laughed, I cried. In some ways, I saw my own marriage splayed across pages. I love the way Reid brings a story to real life and makes them seem inseparable. I couldn’t put this one down.
