After I Do by Taylor Jenkins Reid

This is a second chance romance where you will go through a hurtful journey of two love birds. A very engaging narrative and super emotional characters. Too many lessons to learn and I salute Taylor Jenkins Reid for doing her research thoroughly in relationship happiness, problems and solutions. She carried her unique writing personality that made me know that this is her masterpiece without checking who the author is. I am addicted to Taylor Jenkins Reid's novels.

I love the way she describes the early stage of the relationship, and how it bloomed up and abruptly fades. She elaborates the reasons and even gave some space for the character to mend their broken heart. I deeply felt both characters' grief and realized that those are the common problems married couple faced. Only true lovers succeed.

The story brought me to the song sang by Chicago - Hard to Say I'm Sorry. Say no more, this is an awesome book for those who want to learn about the relationship and knowing what you want and what you want to give to your love ones. I strongly recommend this.

My rating for this book is 5/5

Here's the quote that I am keeping with me. Excerpt from After I Do.

“Sometimes people do things because they are furious or because they are upset or because they are out for blood. And those things can hurt. But what hurts the most is when someone does something out of apathy. They don't care about you the way they said they did back in college. They don't care about you the way they promised to when you got married. They don't care about you at all.”

Here's the synopsis:

When Lauren and Ryan’s marriage reaches the breaking point, they come up with an unconventional plan. They decide to take a year off in the hopes of finding a way to fall in love again. One year apart, and only one rule: they cannot contact each other. Aside from that, anything goes.

Lauren embarks on a journey of self-discovery, quickly finding that her friends and family have their own ideas about the meaning of marriage. These influences, as well as her own healing process and the challenges of living apart from Ryan, begin to change Lauren’s ideas about monogamy and marriage. She starts to question: When you can have romance without loyalty and commitment without marriage, when love and lust are no longer tied together, what do you value? What are you willing to fight for?

The Seven Husband of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

I get hooked up with this book for 2 reasons. It has a very beautiful book cover and an intriguing book title. When I select the book to be in my reading list, I keep on thinking about what could be possible behind every husband she had. One thing I thought about was that this book might be about Evelyn's seven times of marriages in her life. The farther I read, the more the story came out of my surprise and even more than what I imagined. Before anything, I would like to remind that my review might contain spoiler. Might, but just a little bit should be okay, right? The novel tells the story of the fictional Old Hollywood star Evelyn Hugo, who at the age of 79 decides to give a final interview to an unknown journalist, Monique Grant. Although Evelyn Hugo was loosely based in part on actresses Elizabeth Taylor, Reid created Evelyn Hugo to be the glorious star in her storytelling. While reading this book, I googled more about Elizabeth Taylor and learned about her 8 marr
