Taylor Swift songs: “This love (TV)”, “I think he knows”, “you are in love”

I cannot recommend this enough!! It earns another coveted spot as the 16th 5⭐️ out of 228 books!! 

As soon as I heard the plot summary, I knew I HAD to read it. A married couple grow apart, and on their anniversary trip, they decide to act like they are just meeting for the first time, so they can remember why they fell in love with each other in the first place! 

It just made my heart so happy and so full. I loved the character’s chemistry and flirting, but also their already established deep unconditional love for one another. If soul mates exist, Eliza and Graham are it. I loved the concept of having a romance book about a married couple, because most books just end with them together or sometimes married, but don’t often show how marriage doesn’t mean you are always happy and perfect all the time. This book, along with “You Deserve Each Other” by my favorite Sarah Hogle definitely show this side in a fun but also emotional and moving way. I will admit that I did cry happy tears at the end.  My heart feel  joyful and have the warm fuzzies in the best way after reading this. I cannot recommend this enough!!

My favorite part was that it was a dual POV, and the authors are married in real life, so they probably each wrote the prospective parts. I loved how you can tell that these authors know marriage, it’s so authentic. Sometimes with dual POVs, sometimes one character is stronger and more developed than the other, but that’s not the case here.  

I was listening to the audiobook, but at a little over halfway I knew that this was one I needed to buy. And by me telling her about it, my coworker also brought it! I now have to go and get every other Wibbroka (their names put together) book!! 

Age rating: 15+ (one or two brief steamy scenes, 1/5🌶️,  and language)

Side note: I loved the audiobook narrators, I think I’ve listened to about 12 books narrated by Brittany Pressley at this point😂 I love her!
