What this book is about
Lauren and Ryan have been together since college, married young, and fallen into a silence that has swallowed their love. They make a radical decision: one year apart — no contact. Lauren fills her year with family, career, and herself. What they each discover changes everything about what comes next. Taylor Jenkins Reid's quiet, emotionally precise love story is about choosing someone not because you have to but because you want to.
