I Give My Marriage a Year by Holly Wainwright

4.0

I have mixed feelings about this one. Lately I've been looking for escapism in the novels I read, and this was definitely not an escape. It was viscerally real. The characters were well developed, and though I didn't 'like' them per se, the story was well told and very realistic. The narrative might be a little triggering for people that have had marriage problems; although I can't empathise its told so well you can really feel the pain!
