The writing in this one reminded me a bit of Ann Patchett, in its slow unravel and insight into the mundanity. It pulled on the heartstrings and took a turn I wasn‘t expecting. I enjoyed it.

BarbaraBB Oh I must check this out since I loved

I just read the last page of this book and I can only say that it rocked me to my core. The second half of this novel is heavy. Heavy with the weight of love: the disappointments and transformations and fragilities.

It reminded me of “Idaho,” another quiet book about the intimacy of a marriage and how a devastating turn of events can deliver a tragic blow as well as expose the greatest strengths between two people. This one broke my heart.

JennyM I got this yesterday- will get the tissues ready x 5y

saresmoore I‘m thinking I might hold off on this and Idaho for a while. 🙃 Sounds beautiful, though. 5y

mauveandrosysky I just logged on in the first time in forever and OF COURSE your last several books are books that I fucking loved. (This one, The River, Supper Club, Fleischman, and I just started Three Women.) Thinking of coming back to this space now that the fog of PPD has lifted. Miss you and am comforted to find that we are still so aligned on so much. (edited) 5y

JennyM @Kalalalatja @batsy I knew you‘d understand! 😘 (edited) 5y

Buechersuechtling I perfectly feel you. Often library‘s are even more tempting to me than bookstores. Most of the time I am like that: “Oh, that sounds interesting. – And that I always wanted to read! – Look, this author has a new book. – That‘s the book I heard the librarian talk about; let‘s see how I like it. – And this is so tiny there must be space for in my backpack.” 5y

JennyM @Buechersuechtling yep, all those book on offer with NO cost, it‘s just too much! 😆 5y

BooknerdsLife AAHHH 😍😍 I don‘t blame you 😂Who can say no to books Especially when they are free!!! 😂👏🏼👏🏼 Happy Reading! 📚📚❤️ 5y

It‘s a story of absolute true love, inner desires, and choices made. This book proves love and pain go past the physical realm, and dive deep into the boundaries of our emotions. I very much appreciated the story being told by both main characters Ed and Laura. This was one of those books when I finished I needed a few more days to soak up my thoughts and part ways with their story.
