4.0

So weirdly, the whole time I was reading this, I was like, eh, it's fine, but I was SOBBING at the end, and that never happens to me. A couple who met and married young are struggling in their marriage. They decide to separate without contact for a year, during which Lauren (our protagonist) finds herself and grows closer to her family. The thing is, they are reading each other's email drafts, clearly, a relationship built on trust and respect. Cute but unmemorable.
