This was everything I wanted from a fun, summer romantic read. It really could have stayed tropey and typical, but I love that it gave the characters real issues -- ones that most couples don't talk about or discuss. 

Gavin and Thea were so fun to read, especially since it was obvious that they wanted to be together. Watching them learn to solve their problems, to dig into their own "backstories" and choose to be vulnerable, was so riveting; l loved every minute. 

As always, secrets tend to spill out, and Thea finding out about the club was inevitable. In all honesty, I felt like she forgave Gavin for pulling his best lines from the book much more quickly than I may have.


All things considered: great concept, fun story, intriguing side characters for future books. I'm excited to read more.

Not my fave romcom but still enjoyable! I love romances about long-term/married couples falling in love again, especially since most books just leave them to a happily ever after. I feel like the main conflict wasn't dramatic enough for what it spurred, and the whole thing was definitely cheesy in some places (but I think it was meant to be that way). I already have the next book in the series so I'm hoping the writing improves. It felt in places like it was trying too hard to be therapy/woke and felt inauthentic - maybe because I don't know guys who think or talk like that, let alone a whole group of them! Spice rating: 3.

To be honest the title just never caught my attention so I never even read the blurb. But then I was told it was marriage in crisis and I read the description and realized my mistake.

I just finished this book and I absolutely LOVED it!!! It was the perfect balance of humor, romance, and family drama. (I don't do funny and I laughed out loud at least 4 times.)

I loved the guys' book club. I loved their secret love of romance books and pumpkin spice lattes. I loved how they discovered Pinterest. Really I loved everything. I can't wait to finish this series!
