Taylor Jenkins Reid just *gets* it. I absolutely loved this book and its take on relationships and marriage. Relationships are complex, messy, painful, difficult, and take work. The characters in this book are not only lovable, but they’re REAL— they make mistakes, they learn, they try their best. No other author has ever been able to express these feelings so precisely and beautifully. I will never stop raving about the absolute magic that is a Taylor Jenkins Reid book.
