À propos de ce titre
 From the New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo comes an all-new audio production read by Julia Whelan, including a bonus conversation with Julia Whelan and Taylor Jenkins Reid, recorded exclusively for this edition.

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?

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.

Avis de la critique

"Julia Whelan narrates the story of a couple who are struggling with a rough patch in their marriage. Lauren and Ryan met at 19, and married at 24. Now 29, they are struggling to remember why — or even if — they still love each other, so they decide to take a year-long break. Whelan perfectly captures the arc of their relationship, which moves from awkward college flirting to the caustic sniping of a marital fight over something truly stupid. Her skill at narrating the everyday is both a strength and a flaw: For some this performance might be too uncomfortably like their own lives laid bare, while for others it could be deeply cathartic. Whelan also gives depth and personality to secondary characters, who are generally underdeveloped in the text."

Es ist traurig, es ist lustig, es ist voller Hoffnung und Verzweiflung und Liebe. Ein Buch, das ich so schnell nicht vergessen werde.

Geht unter die Haut

This is one of my favorites this year. The author captures problems of the every day life in a marriages/ long relationship, the characters grow and u can root for every decision they seem to make. I fell in love with all of the people whose life u are sharing.
Absolutely one of my favorites!

Absolutely loved it!!

Overall I enjoyed this book a lot, the reader was essy to follow and entertaining and the interview at the end quite illuminating. That being said, from a European perspective the novel is sometimes somewhat superficial/cringy/american- especially in the beginning which does not allow for any ambivalence in the relationship amongst the main protagonists. That is a pity as the author clearly states that she wanted a more nuanced, not black and white picture of marriage and yet the ending appears somewhat ‘happily ever after’. Not only does the romance prevail but the idea of parenthood (as the major achievement in life) comes up, which does not really cater to this more nuanced/ feminist lense the author seeks to employ. But the side characters are quite interesting and overall a good read

Enjoyable story with pleasant reader

Unglaublich, dass eine Autorin so grossartige Bücher wie "Seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo" und "Malibu Rising" schreiben kann, und dann ein so banales Buch. Offensichtlich ist die Zielgruppe die Leserin / Hörerin unter 25 Jahre. Happily ever after! Die Message: Die Ehe muss erhalten bleiben, weil man sich einmal dafür entschieden hat. Nun ja - wenn man bedenkt dass es 2014 geschrieben wurde , als "sex positive" noch kein Wort war. Nicht zeitgemäß und ohne Tiefgang! Ich habe es nur wegen der Sprecherin zu Ende gehört.

BOOOORING!
