"Lou and Josh have been together for 14 years. They share two kids, a mortgage, careers and plenty of history. Now, after a particularly fraught Christmas, Lou is ready to ask herself: is this marriage worth hanging on to? Every month for a year, Lou sets a different test for their relationship - from daily sex to brutal honesty - to help her decide if she should stay or go. Secrets are exposed, old wounds reopened and a true-to-life suburban love story unfolds." -- Publisher's website.

You know those books that are so sad or painful that it leaks into your real life? This book is definitely one of those. Looking at the themes of marriage, commitment, attraction to other people and burnout, this book absolutely makes you think and makes you question your views and what you would do in similar situations. Plus, always a fun time when I can read about places and know where they are.

Thoroughly enjoyed this — really easy-to-read, simple language yet such a great insight to those huge and complicated emotions in a long term relationship. I really felt seen by some of the chapters. Also made me question the decision to have kids in future! 🥴😅 I was gripped from all the relatable, everyday drama. Highly recommend.
