Foreverland: On the Divine Tedium of Marriage by Heather Havrilesky
5.0
“Marriage can’t always be about living your best lives in sync. Because some of the peak moments of a marriage are when you share in your insecurities, your anxieties, your fears, and your longing.”
― Heather Havrilesky, Foreverland: On the Divine Tedium of Marriage
There are surprisingly a lot of reviews bashing the author for her candor as she explores HER marriage. This book at its very core is a memoir. She never claims to be an expert and leads with honesty and humor. My husband and I have been married for almost eight months but I can still see every ounce of humor in this book and found myself loving every word.
If you don't get it, you are in denial of what marriage looks like. You don't have to have been married for decades to get it.
Marriage is hard, it's messy, but it's also full of laughter and love.
