melonreads's review against another edition
5.0
I love a good marriage in trouble/second chance romance trope and this book did NOT disappoint. I loved Mitch and Margie, their cold, distant marriage and the flashbacks to how they used to be and how they found their way back to each other was both poignant and heartbreaking and bittersweet. Not to worry, it was a beautiful, hopeful, uplifting HEA and I loved the realism of it, of knowing that you couldn't fix a marriage overnight, that it took time and trust earned over that time to fix it and make it even stronger.

I liked this more than I expected to, given that I'm not a big second chance romance person, especially when the couple has drifted apart because the wife is perfect and the husband is distracted. But it did win me over in the end, because Mitch really does put the effort in and make a real change, and he never tries to pass blame onto Margie. I also like the constant reminder that literally everyone admires Margie's intelligence and skills; she's not dismissed as a housewife at all but admired for it, which is a nice change from the usual attitude.
