For Better, For Worse by Tammi Labrecque
4.0
In this 200 page book Emma and Jake are thrown back together after years of avoidance and the result is an honest, raw account of love and growth. The characters in this book are real and flawed, the minor ones as well as Emma and Jake. This story shows how love isn’t always easy, and how we often hide the truth from ourselves.
Tammi Labrecque does a wonderful job of making you care about her characters, giving them sparkling personalities and painful epiphanies, in only 200 pages. This isn’t a straightforward romance, there are true conflicts that make it very real, while still having an overall lighthearted and often humorous tone. My one point of criticism is towards the end of the book, where the action is incongruously fast- it takes away some of the power of what the characters say. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed this book, a perfect warm, fuzzy read.
I would recommend this to readers who want their romance to be real- not too dark and not too light.
