it's getting 3 stars because i loved the side characters, but the main couple was unbearable... and not in the fun to read way.

Please, just read it. A deeply informative and essential reflection on the evolution of love over time.
I wish ending was given a little more depth and attention, but please don't let that get in the way of taking this as a recommendation. A book I will be recommending for a long time.

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.

Why was I crying when they had their first fight?!😭 This book had me tearing up too much. I'm really a sucker for young fluffy love. And I love when the two lovers especially the male are smitten with each other. It's so cute! I think TJR did a fantastic job of establishing the different elements of marriage. And that it's not just a one size fits all. I love the family aspect of this book and how it handles single motherhood and absent parents. The emotions it book brought out of me were incredible. What a lovely read. My only concern was that I don't we got enough of Lauren and Ryan's relationship when they were in college. I found myself wanting more cute moments with them throughout the book. Also I also didn't like Lauren encouraging David to go back to his cheating ex wife. I know alot of people view cheating differently so I'm tripping about it. But for me, cheating is an ultimate deal-breaker and shows how much the other person didn't have respect for the relationship. It's just unforgivable in my opinion. I get he was hurting but he was hurting because of her. I don't think I could love my partner the same if they cheated. But that's just me. If David truly feels he can't live without Ashley. Then to each their own I guess.
