So, there's some breath-takingly lovely sentences and scenes when Liz & Tobin are on page together. I really enjoyed the improv as marriage counseling book and the practices they do together to help work through their problems. The intimate scenes were quite delicious. These parts helped me finish and not DNF.

That said, wading through the rest of Liz's self-actualization journey wasn't for me. The pitch contest plot line felt tacked on to create conflict between Liz and her husband when clearly, they already had enough. The single POV kept Tobin to be a pretty big cipher to me; he felt "too perfect" and Liz's internal thoughts focused significantly on his physical characteristics and her pants feelings for him, and how woefully inadequate she thought she was for him. From Tobin's actions on page, I didn't really get the angst I wanted out of a marriage in trouble plotline.

Not what I was hoping for, but if you enjoy more a woman's personal journey to understanding her neuro-divergencies and learning basic therapy techniques, and discovering she was perfectly fine as she was, maybe pick it up. Also, there was a great merman cosplay moment that truly was a lot of fun.

This author has potential, I wouldn't rule out trying another.
