This book was very emotional. I really empathized for the couple’s struggle with infertility, and the reader feels instantly invested in their journey through their marriage’s breaking point. I am happily in love, but always fear the possibility that in some distant future, I could find myself in a similar situation with the love of my life. The fact that they were able to overcome their greatest struggle gave me hope that my husband and I can always overcome any struggles that may hit us in the future. The couple’s emotions were so selfish and complex and deep and raw that I felt like it was a true story. 

Compared to Hoover’s other works, this book left a little to be desired in my opinion. You definitely know you’re reading one of her earlier works while you’re reading it. Still enjoyable, and no doubt hopeful for those in a similar dynamic with their marriages.
