Wow I’m speechless. This is one of those books that sticks with you long after you’re done. One of those books that gives you lessons you think about months later at a random moment throughout your day. One of those books that makes you feel like there was a “before this book” & an “after this book” in your life because you simply cannot look at aspects of your life the same way.
As a married person who has been in a relationship for 11 years, there were so many things I found incredibly relatable & that made me feel seen. So many issues addressed that felt less isolating because clearly they’re happening to others.
Overall this book tore my heart apart & stitched it back together with the different aspects it addressed aside from the marriage in crisis as the center story. The emotions this story brought up for me were so intense that I truly felt I was living the story myself. It was an incredible read that was written beautifully, I would recommend everyone to read it.
