This was my first Sophie Ranald book and I enjoyed reading it so much! I can't wait to read the rest of her backlist. I absolutely loved the writing style and the story was executed so well. Matt and Abbie's story is told through alternating chapters of the past and present from Abbie's POV - this was such an impactful way of telling their story.

I love marriage in crisis books and this one did not disappoint whatsoever! The only thing I could wish for is Matt's POV. I also loved the side characters as much as Abbie and Matt.

This was a great book and is definitely one of my new favourites.

Marriage: Hanging by a thread. Sex life: Dead on arrival. Alcohol: Essential. Abbie has been with Matt for twenty years. That’s 7,305 days, not that she’s counting. Ever since Matt saved Abbie from a pigeon when they were seventeen, they were meant to be. But fast forward, and their happy ever after is light on the happy. Their sex life is officially extinct, Abbie’s lingerie is officially dusty, and Matt officially doesn’t know how to use the dishwasher. Plus, there’s always a but coming… Hoping it’s just a phase – aka the longest dry spell on record – it’s time to initiate Operation Memory Lane. Maybe they can spice things up by recreating their first date (Nando’s fixes everything), their first holiday (getting jiggy on the beach), and even their wedding. But revisiting the past isn’t always plain sailing… Abbie didn’t bank on her secret coming to light – the one she’s kept for two decades. And she had no idea that Matt’s been hiding something from her too. Can they get their spark back? Or is Operation Memory Lane a sure-fire way to blow up their marriage, leaving Abbie single, terrified to mingle, and with a drawer of dusty underwear for company? This uplifting and totally addictive page-turner will give you All. The. Feels! If you’ve ever wondered where your mojo went, wanted to start from scratch, or been tempted to wring your husband’s neck, then this feel-good romantic comedy is for you. Perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Sophie Kinsella and Beth O’Leary.

what a ride from these two cuties. things happened and at the end, I felt their heart and how through all those, they wanted this, they wanted to be together. that was heart warming.

This book had a really good premise but I just did not like the execution. I think it could have greatly benefited from being dual pov. They didn't really start communicating until at least halfway through the book which made for weird pacing. I didn't know if he also wasn't really in love with her because we didn't see him a lot in the first half. 

I received an arc through netgalley.
