This was definitely outside my usual genre of choice and I'm so glad I took a chance on something different. I love the concept of the story, a husband and wife realize they are no longer in love with each other so they agree to a trial year separation to see if their marriage can be restored.
I often wonder if couples would try something as simple as this before just going straight to divorce. Sometimes, a little separation can help you realize just how much you really do love the person you thought you didn't.
I love how realistic and relatable the book was. Definitely will recommend to others.

A truly original concept for a novel. Highly engaging and written in such a way that you feel as though the characters are friends of yours and you're reading through their journals. It was difficult to put this one down. I am officially a Taylor Jenkins Reid fan!

because I did not want to read it, I put it down because I wanted to make it last. The characters of Lauren and Ryan I fell in love with. As they fought for their marriage I had to cheer them on. I wanted them both to be happy, but I wanted them to be happy together.

As Taylor Jenkins Reid introduced the other characters, Leslie, Mila, Charlie and Natalie, and of course Rachel, I knew that this was a book that I would cherish. I would love to have more books with these same characters featured. I felt like I was able to relate to the family dynamic and the friendships they each had. I was invested in each characters life and happiness.

As with other books by Ms. Reid I will happily recommend this to my friends and family. This is a story that has romance, but it is not your normal romance. It is more of a contemporary story.
