An emotional, yet heart-warming book that reflects on the struggles of marriage, love and relationships. A book full of wisdom and life-lessons yet feels like a close friend.

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.

I'm not sure what I expected with this one, but I'm not surprised I loved it. This is my 3rd TJR book, and I know I will read even more. I love the way this story was written, and how it came together at the end. I appreciate that this was about a married couple. Even though I am not married, I am in a long term committed relationship, and sometimes I like something more than just falling in love. This was a great story about two people making things work no matter what. While some parts were hard for me to grasp (I can't imagine I would ever be okay with taking a year long separation), this was good to recognize that every relationship and marriage isn't the same.
