A propos de ce titre

Revue de presse:

"I mean, underlining and yellow marker bust-out laughs."

--Tom Hanks

"Calhoun is at her strongest when she probes into the unrealistic expectations people hold about the institution [of marriage]..."

--Times Literary Supplement

"...a personal collection of thoughtful and witty essays on the "beautiful complexity of marriage"...an ideal real-world engagement gift..."

--The Bookseller

"Whatever your status or views on the institution [of marriage], Ada's book offers invaluable insight into marriage: the good parts, the bad parts, and the ugly parts. I'll toast to that."

--Refinery29

"Ada Calhoun has written the definitive meditation on marriage in all of its mystery and imperfection. It should be required reading for anyone considering it, and highly recommended for those who want to be reminded of why they did it in the first place."

--Molly Ringwald

"This is a fascinating meditation on monogamy, and when we focus so much on beginnings and endings when we talk about relationships, it's refreshing to read a book that focuses on what many of us are familiar with - just trying to make it work."

--Daisy Buchanan, The Pool

"Calhoun is supportive of love and those who seek it out. Her sweetest moments are those where she zones in on the minutiae of her marriage and being a parent...Hopeful, sensible and grounded in reality, it serves as guidance to those in long-term relationships and those embarking on them."

--Sunday Post

"Hopeful, sensible and grounded in reality, it serves just as much guidance to those in long-term relationships as it does to those embarking on them."

--Western Daily Press

"Calhoun is laugh-out-loud funny...This realistic, empathetic book of advice is worthy of a spot on any newlywed's bookshelf."

--Publishers Weekly
