Do I Know You?
by Emily Wibberley, Austin Siegemund-Broka
Eliza and Graham go on a trip to celebrate their 5 year wedding anniversary, but because of the growing distance between them, they end up with separate rooms. While on this trip they start to pretend to be different people. People who are just meeting and getting to know each other and are flirting and having fun. While this is bringing the spark back to their relationship, it’s hard to tell what is real and what is pretend, and where their relationship will stand when they get back to reality.
Marriage in trouble is usually not a trope I enjoy, but I thought it was handled so well in this book. Rather than the trouble resulting from a major conflict or dramatic event, it was simply the result of two people who got married young and grew apart in the process. This book was written in both Graham and Eliza’s point-of-view, so as a reader you are able to know how each person is feeling right away. And while they each felt the distance in their relationship, they both were not ready to let it go. Seeing an already married couple learn to rebuild their relationship was unique for a romance novel, and I greatly appreciated it. In many ways this book felt very real.I also really enjoyed David, the man they met on their vacation, and he provided a lot of comic relief throughout the story. (I would also love for him to get his own book!)
