I love Matthew Norman‘s novels, and this was a fun listen. It wasn‘t quite as funny as his previous novels but I enjoyed the characters a lot and it would be a great rom-com movie.

I liked this book very much. I listened to it and Kristen Sieh is such an amazing as narrator. I was literally laughing out loud at the hilarious, but relatable characters and situations. I was invested in Jessica and Mitch and their family. I don't usually read romance, and it's not a typical romance but I loved it for #ValentinesDayRead #2022 #lastcouplestanding

I'm taking a break from thrillers after a binge on my guilty pleasure books. This book seems really cool, I've had my eye on it for a while and I'm excited to get started! Not in the mood for gloom and doom for today.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ The divorces of several of their close friends launch Jessica and Mitch into a midlife crisis where they decide to try an open marriage. There are ground rules and all that, but from the onset you know it‘ll blow up in their faces. And they have two small kids. I took this story as satire, but I‘m not sure it‘s meant to be. Loved Mitch, hated Jessica. Loved Luke, hated Scarlett. Seems about right from a male author. Still, an ok read.

Scochrane26 I actually know a couple who have an open marriage. It‘s very weird for the rest of us. They have 1 kid. 4y
ItsAnotherJen @Scochrane26 I can't see how an open marriage works for both people long term. Unless they are staying married and staying living together for their kids.. 4y
britt_brooke @Scochrane26 I can‘t wrap my head around the logistics. Or how to control the jealousy. I can imagine it‘s uncomfortable knowing your friends‘ situation. It‘s interesting to me that they‘d even tell people. 4y

Scochrane26 @britt_brooke I think they had thought about divorcing but did open marriage instead. They both have someone else & know each other‘s person. A lot of us did a zoom hangout awhile back & all of them participated. They aren‘t just living in the same house. This is actually the 2nd couple I know who did this. And yes, the rest of us gossip about them, esp the etiquette involved in inviting them to events. 4y
Scochrane26 @britt_brooke the other couple who did this-it was just in the wife‘s side. My friend & I called the guys the husband brothers. She has gotten divorced from her husband now & at that time, dumped the boyfriend. I felt bad for him. 4y
britt_brooke @Scochrane26 Interesting! Def weird to me, but if it works for them, I suppose that‘s all that matters. Probably happens more than we think. 4y

A little morning reading 📚 time with my babies. This is how they earn their weekend video games. 🎮 They like to read, but sometimes need a little motivation.

This was fine, nothing special to write home about. I doubt I will remember this book in few days.

I‘m on the fence here. On one hand, the main characters and their actions were pretty deplorable. However, on the other hand, they were also oddly justified. This book manages to poke fun at the epidemic that divorce really is. The grass really is always greener on the other side. What I did like was how the supporting stories came so nicely together in a slice of life, comical sort of way. Uneven overall, but far from a waste of time.
