To be 100% honest I really wanted to quit in the middle of the book and to be 100% honest I'm glad I didn't the ending wraps everything up in a nice little bow and it made me happy i stuck with the albeit short book until the very end.

I have never read a MMFM book before and I’m honestly in love i will admit that some of the dialogue is cringe BUT it wasnt enough to make me put this book down nor can I deny the fact that I finished this book in like three days

Will You Ever Change? by Aurélie Valognes

4.0

Considering the fact that the first sentence of Will You Ever Change? is “Jacques Le Guennec had always had a habit of taking things too far.” My immediate notes were Immediately introduced to the uptight husband. Valognes brings life to a story that could have honestly been the most boring story, but taking a peek into the life of the Le Guennec family has been the most interesting storyline ever.

“Will You Ever Change?” by Aurelie Valognes earns a solid four star rating. It’s thoughtfully written and emotionally rich. Readers who enjoy human relationships, personal growth, and family dynamics should take a look at this book. Valognes’ talent for storytelling is evident throughout, making this book a worthwhile addition to any reading list.
