I actually finished this yesterday but it has taken me awhile to figure out what to say about this book. In the last 4 yrs I've been through something extremely similar to this book. Except my husband at the time made different decisions. I understand every single thought Amber had. I had 3 children very close together and it was like we were in a foxhole together for years. It was hard and at the time our marriage could not withstand the pressure. Life just happened. As it turns out, my ex and I are no longer exes. We are back together and its a really great thing. We have the "luxury" of having all of the resentment and anger in our rear view mirror. Like Tony and Amber- we understand what we could be doing better NOW. I wouldn't change any of it really... we know what matters now.

This book took my breath away and made me cry because I got it. I'm so glad Ms. Knox wrote this book. I don't think any of us realize how imperfect marriage is and can be.... no one will admit it. I found that out and more the past fews years. I also found out that many, many couples do have issues and do address them. The communication Ms. Knox wrote about with Tony and Amber was the truth. Ask the questions and tell the truth to each other.

Loved it.
