Though the topic of a struggling marriage is heavy, the problems in this story seem so easily solved compared to many real life causes of problems in marriages. So this book was emotionally heavy, it wasn’t very heavy and it didn’t bring me down (much).

I think I want to give this 5 stars because of the way anxiety was a huge subject (even though it just made mine a tiny bit worse) and because even though it was sad a LOT it was SOOO SO funny and lovely and 🔥🔥hehe. This made me giggle so much because it was funny AND because of Aiden and Freya.

Also what a cool name “Freya” maybe it’s because I’m reading the Magnus chase books right now but I dig it.

Just the way Aiden talked and thought about Freya is the way people deserve to be thought and talked about!!! Even tiny seemingly insignificant things made me either aawww or go wide eyed because of how powerful they were. Their love for each other was just Ahsjdkskdhsjs so freaking adorable.

Also…HE READ A MASS MARKET PAPERBACK HISTORICAL ROMANCE!!! AND ON TOP OF THAT HE READ PERSUASION TO HER!!! I WISH someone would read me my favorite Jane Austen novel *cough* specifically Captain Wentworth’s proposal and Mr Knightley’s too if they have time *cough*

I did not take sides in the problem because I saw both sides and understood both which is honestly a little new to me because a lot of the times I am very clearly misogynistic in blaming the heroine and not the hero for the problems in a book (I also blame certain authors for writing the story that way though it’s not all me). Anyway that just means I love Freya and want to be her when I grow up.

I didn’t love the

dad

storyline but also didn’t hate it I thought it was okay but liked Aiden’s reaction to it.

Not like I didn’t say it a million times while reading this but holy crap I CANNOT wait for Viggo’s book, it will be the death of me I just know it.

One last thing: I am LOVING the last chapters of these books because they are so much better than regular epilogues. AND OH MY GOSH HOW COULD I FORGET TO SAY THIS: THIS SERIES ACTUALLY SHOWS YOU HOW PREVIOUS CHARACTERS ARE DOING AND NOT JUST ONCE IN THE WHOLE BOOK BUT SPRINKLED THROUGHOUT!!! Okay im done

This books allows us to see into the lives of beloved side characters from the previous Bergman books and get to know more about what is going on between Aiden and Freya, the oldest Bergman sibling, after ten years of marriage. We watch as the couple tries to save face and prevent their family from seeing how much they are struggling with their attempts to conceive, miscommunication, and the anxiety that Aiden is trying desperately to survive every day. Aiden is also forced to face the trauma's of growing up in poverty and the unhealthy coping strategies he has developed as a result. Will these two find their way back to each other, through their meddling siblings and the pressures of married life? While this wasn't my favourite addition to this series I appreciated the scenes where we saw the family interacting and would definitely recommend it to fans of the series and/or those who love marriage-in-trouble romances. I gave this one a 4.5 and have rounded it up to a 5.

This whole series has my whole heart, and I fall in love with the Bergman family a little bit more with each story. What a beautiful, and at times painfully accurate, portrayal of long term relationships.

“People whose love lasts, whose love grows and endures, choose each other in the unhappily ever after, the dark moments, not just the dazzling ones.”
