I found this one was a little more depressing than I wanted in the beginning but I quickly became invested in the secondary characters and really wanted to see where their stories would end up. Lauren wasn’t extremely likable to me at first but her interactions with her family made her become more human. Interesting plot that I first thought I had zero connections to - but the overall theme of not giving up and giving your best made it more accessible to me. I found it interesting that we mostly only got Lauren’s side of it, other than a few brief glimpses into Ryan’s time apart from Lauren. Overall, a decent read for a weekend!

Taylor Jenkins Reid is an amazing storyteller.  I really loved this book.  Filled with humor and emotion, this book is about the marriage of Ryan & Lauren.  They have been together since Lauren was 19 and married very young.  As with most marriages, there is the honeymoon period.  Once that period was over for Ryan & Lauren, they began to argue more and not want to be around each other.  Ryan proposes that they take a break for a year, and then see if they can fix their marriage.  Over that year, Lauren learns a lot about herself, focuses more on her family, and finds she can be alone.  The plot and subplots are wonderful.  I couldn't put it down.
