A review by lindseydomokur
Just the Two of Us by Jo Wilde

4.0

Julie and Michael ar at an impasse in their marriage. They aren't happy together, but they don't know exactly why. Julie knows she doesn't want to live like this anymore and visits a divorce lawyer the same day that lockdown starts. Since she and Michael will be stuck together, she decides to wait on giving him the papers.
In the beginning you can see the breakdown of the marriage, the lack of communication between the couple. They are trying to find their footing with each other again after their kids left home. The book bounces back and forth between the past and the present, giving us the good and the bad of their marriage.
I love reading marriage reconciliation books because I love how a couple learns to communicate and comes back together. Communication with the ones you love should be the easiest thing to do, but is often the hardest. I enjoyed Julie and Michael's book tremendously. I have read a few "lockdown" books and this one was done in such a way that it didn't fell overwhelming.
Thank you to Jo Wilde, Grand Central and Netgalley for an early copy.
