This book reminds me of my own life story. It has the elements of the younger husband married to a more experienced and older woman. Things happened too fast too soon for them and this is where the issues started.
The story tackles marriage issues and how both parties added to the problems.
At first I started to dislike Declan because it seems that his immaturity is getting out. But the readers also get glimpses inside his mind and I finally understood him. In fact I loved him.
While the opposite is what I felt for Mia, I felt frustrated for her for prolonging their agony. She got caught up in nostalgia and the past that it almost ruined her family.
Though the story is narrated mostly in Mia's view, it was nice that there were chapters on Declan’s view.
The songs mentioned in the book takes the readers back to the past and it set the nostalgic mood.
Again, as in most marriages, communication is the key. It would have solved their problems sooner had it not been for the stubbornness of Mia.
I loved it but I wanted both of them to open up and discuss their issues and not forget about it as if nothing happened. I didn't get to read it in the story.
In reality I would've preferred talking the issues privately instead of grand gestures, but oh well that's what books are for! It allows us to experience something not in the ordinary.
