I rarely read a book that has not been reviewed yet. I decided it was time to take one for the team and write the first review. This book is probably more like a 3 1/2 for me. There are things I enjoyed about it and things that I think could have been better. May contain spoilers.What I enjoyed: I enjoyed the dialog. It was interesting but at the same time not the most amazing thing I have read. The writing was decent and not a distraction. I liked that it wasn't a "lets get married and then split once I don't need to be married anymore" kind of book. I like to see people recognize that love is an action not just a feeling. I appreciated that this is a very clean read.What I didn't enjoy: This is pretty short. Too short for a novel but a little longer than a novella. I hate super short novellas so if you are thinking of it is a novella this is probably the perfect length. If you are thinking of it as a novel though it is way too short and many details could have been enjoyable covered to enhance this story. Most of the story/dialog happens before they are married. I think it would have been better if the author hadn't rushed the story once they married. I would have enjoyed seeing (not being told) how they made their marriage work. Also as far as physical intimacy (and I'm talking kissing too) it seemed like it was all or nothing. That part of their relationship didn't seem very realistic to me. It just could have been done better.Overall I enjoyed it and would read it again if I wanted something short and sweet. while reading the second half though I would I would be rewriting it in my head :)
