After I Do

When Lauren and Ryan's marriage hits a wall, they make a bold decision: take a year apart with no contact and see if they can find their way back to each other. What unfolds is a deeply human story about two people rediscovering who they are when they're not busy being "us," while grappling with big questions about commitment, desire, and what love actually means. As Lauren's year away becomes a journey of unexpected self-discovery, both she and Ryan are forced to confront uncomfortable truths about themselves and their relationship. This is a gorgeously written exploration of how sometimes the hardest thing to do is fight for the person you love—and sometimes that fight looks nothing like you expected.
