Though the topic of a struggling marriage is heavy, the problems in this story seem so easily solved compared to many real life causes of problems in marriages. So this book was emotionally heavy, it wasn’t very heavy and it didn’t bring me down (much).

Guys, at this point Chloe Liese can literally do no wrong for me. I fell in love with Freya just as I have the other Bergmans. I loved that this book focused on keeping the romance after the happily ever after and putting in the work to keep your relationship strong. The anxiety representation was SO well done and I loved that it was the male main character that struggled with it because I feel like we don't see that enough in books. Gosh these books are just so good and I can't believe I waited so long to read them.

I hate the writing, I like the underlying message. 
I have two questions: 1: why are they SO HORNY all the time? They have been married 10 years, is this not A BIT unrealistic? Maybe it's me, but I couldn't relate. I choose this books because it is about a married couple but got a YA horny couple anyway. 2: why do they swear so much? One could play a drinking game with this book and take a shot every time that there is a swear word (double if it is fuck or fucking) and be drunk one chapter in. I get it, they are angry, but make me feel it! You can be angry or frustrated without swearing! Uggg

Another day, another Bergman Family book read 🤓 this time, it was Aiden and Freya’s story being told! This book was different bc they’re already an established (married!) couple going through a rough patch.

I love that Chloe Liese takes such care to include characters with anxiety, chronic illness, and diverse body sizes. She also uses beta readers to ensure that her portrayal of mental illness, neurodivergence, and disability are as close to a realistic experience for people in those populations, while noting that not everyone’s experience is the same. 

I’m not going to lie - a lot of this book was sad and heavy to me, in contrast to a more typical lighthearted romance. It brought a uniquely human element. The dual POV was essential to see what both Freya and Aiden were going through, what they were keeping from each other, and their journey back toward themselves as individuals and as a couple. I wanted to reach through the pages and shake them, like “Just talk to each other!!!” But I knew it wasn’t that simple and these things take time. 

The family meddling was hilarious as always, and I’m very entertained by Viggo and his romance novels! I appreciate that Freya is a PT (my career as well ⚕️), and the slow burn was worth it, imo! Could I have done without the 3rd act tragedy when I thought everything was settled and we were all gonna be okay? Yes bc it set my heart racing and my hands sweating, but I get it!
