Dean and Liv remain a very interesting couple. And I thought this book did a better job of diving into why Liv especially would be having adjustment issues with marriage. Very realistic for her to realize that she is so dependent on Dean. She has a degree but, like so many students out of school, she can't get a job in her field. So she cobbles together jobs. She has no credit etc. For some women this would be fine but I can see why this would chafe for her.
One thing I couldn't reconcile, for someone who had such an unsettled childhood where they'd move every few months, her reluctance for Dean to want to buy a house felt off. I would think she'd jump at the idea of the permanency of home ownership. But that is minor.
I liked their visit to Dean's family as dysfunctional as it was. It is nice to have more characters for them to bounce off of. Most of the book is just the two of them a lot. It feels a little stifling.
As much as I like this pair I don't know if I down for hanging out in their marital problems for three more books.
