This was an interesting read. I thought the approach was good and liked the style of writing. The real life stories we're a good way to break up the advice. A good book to read if you're thinking of proposing right through to if you have been married a while.

This is a great advice book for people who are engaged or thinking about being engaged to be married. It is written in easy to understand language and reads like a conversation with your friend over coffee.

The author kept a good pace with this book, as it gave a lot of useful advice and examples of when things have gone wrong for couples without being preachy.

I didn’t get quite what I expected with this book as it seems to be primarily aimed at those couples fairly early on in their relationships. Although I very much enjoyed the anecdotes, I would really look forward to reading their thoughts on longer term marriages/relationships. That being said, if one is fairly early on in their relationship, this book would be beneficial as well as entertaining.
My thanks to NetGalley for providing me with an arc in exchange for my honest review.

This book has a lot of great ideas and hints to keep the relationship at a good place. It was funny and I liked the stories about the things gone wrong (and right). The authors' writing is easy to read and it flows very well.

This book is an entertaining and quick read. It's not in the same Q & A format as He's Just Not That Into You, but the format is still simple and engaging. Specifically, I liked the best of and worst of anecdotes. I didn't realize the book was geared towards newlyweds or even newly engaged couples, so large portions of the book did not speak to me on a personal or applicable level. I felt like just when the book was getting good, and getting into the nitty gritty of experienced married life, it was wrapped up quickly. There will be a companion book that goes more into depth, which may be of more interest to me.

I don’t know who this book is for. I’ve been married nine years, and none of it really applied, it seems to be for couple that are considering marriage? Lacks the humor and warmth of the books that made them famous.
