From the New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn
Hugo “A seductive twist on the timeless tale of a couple trying to
rediscover love in a marriage brought low by the challenges of domestic
togetherness…touching, perceptive, and achingly honest.” —Beatriz Williams,
New York Times bestselling authorWhen 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?
This is a love story about what happens when the love fades. It’s about
staying in love, seizing love, forsaking love, and committing to love with
everything you’ve got. And above all, After I Do is the story of a couple
caught up in an old game—and searching for a new road to happily ever
after. Read more
