Marriage in trouble books are such a slippery slope for me - for everyone, I would think. They have to be done just right... and unfortunately this one was a little bit off.
📕 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Nothing But It All by Adriana Locke
📙 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀: Standalone
📗 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀: ARC e-book read on Kindle. 🆓️ on KU
📘 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗿𝗲: Contemporary romance
📔 𝗧𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝘀: Marriage in trouble, all the feels.
📖 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀: Lauren and Jack had a storybook romance, but as the years have gone by they've lost each other. Jack is distracted by work. Lauren is unfulfilled. And as they move toward divorce, their kids trick them into two weeks at their family cabin as a family.
🌟 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄: Alright, so for context here - I am married. And I think we all have different boundaries and agendas when it comes to our marriages. So marriage in trouble books are an acquired taste, and if they don't match the values you have in your marriage you're not going to vibe with it.
This might sound silly, but my only five star reads for marriage in trouble come when there's some therapy involved. There's no way that two people are going to truly solve deep-seeded issues without professional help. I haven't seen that in my reading travels just yet.
Jack and Lauren's story was sweet, but the fact that 5 years of marriage issues and an impending divorce is solved over two weeks at a cabin is really tough for me to stomach. Which I realize is ridiculous, because I spend a lot of time reading insta-love. But this is all just me.
