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!

 “Just because you can live without someone doesn’t mean you want to.” 

 “I've come to realize that resentment is malignant. That it starts small and festers. That it grows wild and unfettered inside of you until it's so expansive that it has worked its way into the furthest, deepest parts of you and holds on for dear life.” 

 “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.”
