After I Do

What are you willing to fight for?
A couple's journey from infatuation to the brink of divorce. Ryan and I are two people who used to be in love. What a beautiful thing to have been. What a sad thing to be. Lauren and Ryan seemed made for each other in the beginning, but the years have taken a heavy toll on their relationship.

6 stars!!I am in awe of this book. This is the kind of story that makes me think, makes me feel, and stays with me long after the last page is flipped. It doesnt just become another book on the read-shelf. Its in a league of its own, and no matter how much time passes, the profound impact its made on me wont diminish. This is one of THOSE books: the kind that will get you out of a book rut, continue your book roll, and is filled with the most meaningful quotes you wont be able to stop

2 stars. Review posted July 25 2014From the blurb: () And above all, After I Do is the story of a couple caught up in an old gameand searching for a new road to happily ever after. With all due respect I dissent. This is the story of Lauren. It's not a story about a couple because Ryan hardly exists. He drops by sporadically (view spoiler)[in the form of letters (e-mail drafts). (hide spoiler)] And what did they search for? It's all about Lauren here and Lauren there. We never get Ryan's POV.A couple's journey from infatuation to the brink of divorce. Ryan and I are two people who used to be in love. What a beautiful thing to have been. What a sad thing to be. Lauren and Ryan seemed made for each other in the beginning, but the years have taken a heavy toll on their relationship.
