This book punched me square in the gut. An incredibly raw exploration of marriage and separation that felt incredibly lived in. There were so many moments that I could identify with and that really made me sit and contemplate my own life and relationships. The entire journey is incredibly emotional without feeling sappy and it strips the idea of long-term relationships down to their bare bones. It focuses on how we have to allow the relationship to grow and change as we do and gives so many little moments of pause and I really appreciated how honest it felt. Definitely a different approach to a relationship novel and it worked incredibly well.
