This book is the kind of book that is so unnervingly familiar, when having been with the same partner for years and having 2 children.

It is not a tradional fiction book.
This should be read by anyone in a relationship, or who is coming out of a failed one. It is part therapeutic non-fiction and at the same time a story about a fictionalized couple with two kids. It starts with the meeting of the two main characters and them falling in love with each other. From there it is a story of their years together with all the ups and downs.

The book is told as a stand up comedian would, highlighting the absurdities of love, relationships and our own personalities when entering a relationship, whether it be with a partner or child. It is funny because you see yourself in this, it is scary because of it and yet I excited this tale hopeful that love will prevail.
It puts a spotlight on how we basically all are idiots and children in reality, who needs love, tenderness, affection and attention and how we sometimes demands too much of our partners.

I must admit I learned a lot from this book.
I cannot recommend it enough.
