I'm Fine and Neither Are You by Camille Pagán
4.0
A wonderful story about relationships
Sometimes something big and devastating happens around us and opens our eyes to changes we should make in our own lives and all the things we should be grateful for. The characters in this book felt very relatable (especially as a wife and mother and a friend) and are a good reminder that sometimes just bettering our communication and clearly defining our desires and expectations in relationships can make a huge improvement in them. Marriage is hard, especially after kids, and remembering you’re on the same team makes all the difference. Family can be hard and being set in old habits can make you grow apart. All of it can be worked on if everyone is willing to make the effort and work on improving things. While, in this book, the ending may be a little idyllic and everything works out in the end, the principles remain.
