Welcome to Litsy!

Kristen is very particular about the guy and the life she wants, but when she meets Josh, her version of life doesn't seem that perfect now.
I picked this book up with zero expectations and just couldn't put it down. Really fun characters and a decent story going on. Not a fan of the absolute lack of communication between the characters. A decent read and just because I cannot get enough of them, onto the next one.
3.5/5🌟

This is a hard one to sum up - it‘s about a marriage that is falling apart after the individual‘s dreams don‘t work out the way they hoped. The characters are well drawn, but it took so long for the book to get moving. I had to switch from print to audio to keep me reading in time for our book group discussion. #wickedwords : bet, school

I spent the last 4 months of my life training for one of the biggest things I‘ve ever done. On Sunday, I completed Philadelphia Marathon - my first. 2 years ago I was very unhealthy and couldn‘t even run around the corner and I decided to make a change. The thing that helped me through training, was reading. Those miserable tread runs were accompanied by my kindle. And it got me to the finish line. You can do both. Oh - and I LOVED this book ❤️

This was a really good book. It was heartbreaking and inspiring at the same time.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

I enjoyed this intimate look at the “peak of the storm“ of a couple's marriage set within the backdrop of an actual winter storm. It definitely has the atmosphere of time stopping a chance to pause and reflect, which they do with multiple flashbacks. I didnt mind the shifting in POV especially because the narrators changed for the audio. I liked and understood most of the subplots but maybe not Tripp's?
