After I Do

“Falling in love is the easy part” Man, this was a great book. It pulled at all the heartstrings and really allowed me to reflect on my own past love.  It was actually a bit triggering for me in the beginning, as I - at one point - was on a break with someone that I loved and didn't know how it would end. The fear of the unknown set in and the heartache was so real.  I truly felt for Lauren and Ryan as they navigated a year apart; how they discovered the important of making a marriage work.  I enjoyed how Reid really captured the emotions that come with love. That come with separating from the one you love. That come with finding yourself.  I also love how Lauren re-discovered the importance of her family, and the relationships she strengthened with her mother, Rachel, Charlie, and her grandmother.  This was such a heartfelt book and definitely had me in my feeeeeeels.  It was also a great reminder, with love, to “give it everything you got”. ♥️
