Another Taylor Jenkins Reid backlist read complete!" 🎉

As someone who’s been in a relationship for over 9 years, I really connected with Lauren and Ryan. Their struggles felt so relatable, and I loved how TJR explored marriage conflicts in such a thoughtful and unique way.

The familial relationships—Lauren’s bond with her siblings, mom, and grandma—were another highlight for me. So many moving, intertwining pieces made this story inspiring and emotional.

Plus, the audiobook flowed beautifully, and switching formats was seamless, which is always a bonus!

 “Here is what I can tell you. All that matters in this life is that you try. All that matters is that you open your heart, give everything you have, and keep trying.”
