Description
After seven years of marriage and codependency, twenty-six-year-old Sarah Jolicoeur is thrust back into the daunting world of singlehood, grappling with a crippling identity crisis and self-esteem weaker than her biceps.
In an effort to transform herself, she embarks on a fitness journey, where she crosses paths with—and falls for—her personal trainer. He assists her in shedding pounds and guides her toward a fresh perspective on life, especially when it comes to relationships. As their connection deepens, Jolicoeur confronts a challenging truth: monogamy is not his cup of tea. To make it work, she must undergo a profound transformation in her beliefs about life, love, and herself.
In Journey to Paradise, Jolicoeur candidly shares her struggles with rebuilding self-esteem, managing jealousy, and embracing a lifestyle of ethical non-monogamy. Her intimate exploration of polyamory teaches her how to transcend the boundaries of conventional relationships in pursuit of the partnership she’s longed for. Fourteen years later, having found the courage to stand up for her desires, they are now happily married and living their chosen lifestyle.

The vulnerability and honesty of the author drew me in. When you finish this book you will really feel like you know her and wish she was your best friend. You will dive into personal experiences with love, self growth and exploring of non traditional relationships. A very easy read and her writing made it even better. You will not want to put this down.

When I started reading this book I wondered what was going on in Sarah’s head and why she decided to go through this journey. I grew to love her as I kept on reading and I was able to learn or know about things I had never heard of it.
One of the sentences is:
There’s a certain gift in seeing things you don’t understand to help yourself grow. It forces the mind to have deeper internal conversations to see the world differently and in a positive way.
I love the encouraging quotes at the start of each chapter and I have come to realize that relationships smooth or rough are journeys to paradise😊.
A good read👍
