What is it about this
book that pulled you in?
The premise. Who wouldn’t be
pulled in by: “When Lauren and Ryan’s
marriage reaches the breaking point, they come up with an unconventional plan.
They decide to take a year off in the hopes of finding a way to fall in love
again. One year apart, and only one rule: they cannot contact each other. Aside
from that, anything goes.”
Is there a relationship
in the story that resonated with you?
Lauren
and Ryan’s difficulties are relatable to even the happiest of married
people. Their love story and their
struggles felt like my own. Though there
was little factual resemblance, their emotions were mine too. I felt their frustration. Immersed in this novel, I was confused and
scared and lonely and in love and scared I couldn’t feel it anymore. As they grew, I grew. I enjoyed Lauren’s co-worker/friend too. She portrayed a different stage of life –
married with children.
Do you think that
relationship was portrayed realistically?
Absolutely.
Anything else you want
to tell us about the book?
Taylor
Jenkins Reid is my favorite new author.
Her first novel FOREVER, INTERRUPTED was also extraordinary. Her voice is pitch perfect. Her third novel MAYBE IN ANOTHER LIFE is
coming out July 2015.
