I actually purchased this book when it was first released and got it signed by Tarryn at a book signing in 2019. The book has since sat on my bookshelf for almost 3 years. Time flies! Oops.
Overall I found F*ck Marriage to be an enjoyable read. I found myself comparing it to her Opportunist series. The characters were fleshed out well as almost all of Tarryn's characters are. I like that they have real faults and aren't all magical perfect unicorn people. Billie is not my favorite character though. I really just wanted to grab her by the shoulders, shake her, maybe slap her a couple times and tell her to STOP. IT.
I, like most reviewers, didn't care for the second half of the book as much as the first. The ending definitely seemed rushed. For fans of Tarryn I would recommend this book. If this is your first Tarryn Fisher book I would suggest The Opportunist series.

This book is the perfect example of why Tarryn Fisher is my favorite author. No matter what genre she tackles, she manages to engage me, challenge my ideals, and inspire me in ways I never thought possible. She doesn’t try to fit into a cookie cutter mold. She is bold and unapologetic and I respect the hell out of her for it.
This story is about heartbreak, revenge, second chances, love, marriage, divorce, and friendship. But above everything, it’s a story of endurance and the strength of the human spirit. Tarryn writes that “as humans, we grieve harder than we ever tried.” I can’t think of a more truer statement than that. It’s in grief that we truly appreciate all that we’ve lost. If only I could’ve tried harder, called more often, said things when I had the chance. We lose ourselves in the “if only’s.” Grief can be all consuming if we let it & it can take a lifetime to dig ourselves out of the pain. Sometimes we never truly surface again and other times, we come back stronger and wiser and maybe a little more cynical.
I don’t have the same life experiences as Billie, but it doesn’t matter. Tarryn makes her relatable and helps you see things as Billie sees them. It’s immersive. You feel like you’re experiencing everything right along with her. It’s a testament to Tarryn’s gift as an author.
I could sing the praises of this book all day, but in the end, my message will always be the same. Read this book. Take the time. You’ll be so glad you did.

3.5 a bit of a mess in a car wreck day time soap opera kind of way
I wanted to love it more. The 1st part was amazing the 2nd part was good but thr 3rd part didnt make any sense to me and was rushed.
I both loved and hated this book at times!!! I cried and then I'd want to throw it. Such a powerful and weak leading character that you just wanted to shake at times.
"We aren't meant to stay the same. Life hits us from every direction, and we build thick skin in those places... calluses. It's the way we survive."
"I don't have calluses yet," I blurt. "In that spot... where my marriage was."
Tarryn is such a great writer. She pulls you in. I have so many quotes highlighted, I wouldn't even know where to start. I will say that it lost a star for me because the ending seemed rushed. There was a storyline with no end. It just felt like the word count had been met.

This book was a great light read. I really was disappointed in the 1/4 of the book though. Why can't people just say what they are thinking instead of running from m each other for so long?
2/5
The first half of this book was fantastic. Although, I thought her 'revenge' was going to be murder and not cheating. Then the 2nd half of this book just went completely downhill. Was the 2nd half just written by someone else because it was not nearly as good. But also, being with your ex husband's best friend, who is also seeing your best friend. The fuck. AND hooking up with your ex husband who is engaged to the woman he left her for. FMC is just a shitty person and i wanted to throat punch her more than once. I wish i could get back the time i spent reading this.

Autorin Tarryn Fisher und ich... ob das noch was wird?!?
Ich habe sie durch Colleen Hoover kennen- und lieben gelernt. Die zwei sind beste Freundinnen und ihnen zu folgen ist immer wieder ein Highlight. Tarryns Stories und ihre TUESDAYS WITH TARRYN sind meine Highlights. Sie hat Psychologie studiert und beantwortet Dienstags Fragen. Mal private, mal Lebenswegweiser, mal lustig, oft ernst, aber immer ehrlich.
Bücher hatte ich nur „Never Never“ angefangen, welches sie mit Colleen geschrieben hat, allerdings abgebrochen 🙈 Es war einfach nicht meins. Aus dem Grund hatten mich ihre Bücher bist jetzt nicht wirklich interessiert, bis vor einigen Tagen „F*ck Marriage“ erschien. Das Cover hatte mich sofort angesprochen und nach lesen des Klappentextes, musste es bei mir einziehen.
Es handelt von Billie, die nach drei Jahren Ehe von ihrem Mann Woods betrogen wird, und nach zwei Auszeitjahren bei ihren Eltern, zurück nach New York zieht, um Rache zu nehmen. Dort trifft sie auch wieder auf Satcher, Woods bester Freund, der schon lange in sie verliebt ist.
Ich kann zum Glück nicht aus eigener Erfahrung sprechen, aber genauso stelle ich es mir vor, wenn eine Ehe zerbricht. Man kann sich so gut in Billie hineinversetzen und merkt, dass Tarryn ihre eigene erste, zerbrochene Ehe hier mit einfließen lässt.
Klar haben wir hier auch einige Klischees wie das wunderschöne New York Setting, Traumjob Blogger mit Geldverdienen und sie sind alle wunderschön, aber das stört mich null, denn es bleibt trotzdem ECHT!
Zumindest ist das so am Anfang der Geschichte... aber dann, ja dann, geht es steil bergab, leider....
Die zweite Hälfte des Buches kommt mir vor, als hätte es plötzlich eine andere Autorin geschrieben.
Es wird total skurril, Billie wirkt auf einmal wie eine komplett andere Person, der Plott wird übel und ich kann wieder vorzüglich meine Augenmuskeln trainieren. 🙄
Das Ende macht es dann nur noch schlimmer, weil die Geschichte ganz schnell zum Schluss kommt. Ohne Gefühl, ohne Verstand, aber mit ganz viel Dummheit.
Ne, das war leider nix. Es hat soooo gut angefangen 😭😭😭
Schade, sehr, sehr schade.

She does it again!
I could not put this book down! I just had to know what would happen next. With Tarryn Fisher books, I genuinely never know if we'll get a 'Happily Ever After' or a 'WTF just happened' at the end, which makes it that much more un-put-down-able. One of my favorite reads of the year!
