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.

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.
