Publisher Description
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, comes a breath taking novel about modern marriage, the depth of family ties, and the year that one remarkable heroine spends exploring both.
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.

A nice but eye opening read
It’s so nice to read a book that isn’t just focused on having the perfect marriage or relationship and shows that’s all relationships in your life need either work or a break so you can work to the best of your ability.
I really enjoyed reading this book, I didn’t know what was going to happen in the end. Lovely read
Didn’t think I would but I did
Marriage, 40 years in, and still learning, I was 19 too, I cried reading this, and I’ve never done that, (till the very end) I can’t put into words why it hurt me so much, but it was something I needed to read, thank you Taylor.
