Noah and Emily have had a charmed life of love and laughter, that is until they don’t any more.  When the book opens, Noah is getting ready to leave and settle into his own apartment.  Their marriage is broken and neither knows how to fix it, not even for the sake of their two small children. I enjoyed how the author drew me slowly into the story of this young couple.  It made me reflect on my own young marriage and how things had changed but how we had somehow managed to stay together.  The marriage advice given at the end of the book is well worth reading, complete with Scriptures.  I do agree with the author that too many couples go into marriage thinking that if it doesn’t work, there is always divorce.  God never meant that to be an option unless there’s adultery or abuse, so everyone should take their vows seriously.  That is the takeaway from this novel, and it is written beautifully, with heart and soul.
