"When Lauren and Ryan's marriage reaches the breaking point, they come up with an unconventional plan. They decide to take a year off in the hopes of finding a way to fall in love again. One year apart, and only one rule: they cannot contact each other. Aside from that, anything goes.
Lauren embarks on a journey of self-discovery, quickly finding that her friends and family have their own ideas about the meaning of marriage. These influences, as well as her own healing process and the challenges of living apart from Ryan, begin to change Lauren's ideas about monogamy and marriage. She starts to question: When you can have romance without loyalty and commitment without marriage, when love and lust are no longer tied together, what do you value? What are you willing to fight for?"
My Rating: 4/5
This wasn't what I would necessarily expect from the author based on the last book that I read, but this story is an important one to read if you're married. The ideas behind it make total sense, the characters are relatable and the side characters are so unique and loveable that I felt like I knew each one of them individually. If you are looking for a character-driven, finding who you are adult fiction romance may I just suggest this one. It's a fast read, even though the subject matter isn't all happy-go-lucky.
Thanks for reading,
Sidny
