As someone who’s getting married next month, this was the perfect read. The relationship dynamics/ drama was so realistic. I pray my marriage never goes through this, I’ve seen relationships like this over & over again. My big take away is COMMUNICATION & THERE IS NO RIGHT WAY TO BE IN A RELATIONSHIP. YOU JUST MAKE IT WORK IF YOU LOVE EACHOTHER. Besides that there were some boring/dull moments in this but I didn’t mind since I just switched to the audiobook during those parts. What would of made this book a higher rating would’ve been seeing Ryan’s perfective!!! I’m so interested in the male mind & their attraction to women vs. their need for emotional intimacy. at least we got to read his emails. I loved that part so much. Totally full-filled my inner teenager.

You don’t have to F other ppl to know who you LOVE !!!!! & if you do end up going that far.. that’s between you guys to fix or end. I thank god I don’t end up like Lauren & Ryan.
