What would you do if your husband suddenly wanted to rewrite the rules of your relationship?

High-school sweethearts Julia and Michael have left their humble West Virginia roots far behind for a glamorous life in Washington, D.C. As they achieve more in their careers - she as a high-end events planner, he as the CEO of his own sports-drink company - they lose themselves as a couple.

Loved the narration and how the author didn't make the main character out to be a saint. Exposing her flaws made the story much more authentic and relatable. Finished the book feeling warm and fuzzy inside.

Beautiful Story

This book is an affirmation of life in a very subtle way. Can’t believe I’m writing this about chick lit but if the shoe fits...

Amazing

Any additional comments?

At first I thought the wife in this story was being selfish and materialistic. I almost stopped there but gave it a chance and I am very happy I did. You learn their story and realize it isn't all what it seems. What a fantastic story this is, definitely give it a chance, you won't regret it!

Excellent!!

It took me a while to finish this book because I didn’t particularly like the main character. However, I kept wondering how it was going to end, so I kept coming back. The ending tied the story together but still left a few unanswered questions. Overall, it was a great listen!

I Kept Coming Back
