Review: Not what I was expecting, but nice to read

This was not what I expected when I picked up this book. I was expecting something sweet and hot and something a little more upbeat I guess. But Making it Last was a tad depressing and all too real. While I’ve never been married, I’ve seen how a relationship can become just like the one Amber and Tony have after ten years of marriage and being together for even longer.This was really pretty sad and heartbreaking, especially after reading Flirting with Disaster, which was fun and gave me the happily ever after I crave. The best part of reading Making It Last though is that I often wonder how things are for these couples 10-20 years after their book is over. I like to think that it’s still all sunshine and roses, but I know it’s probably not. I like to think that they are all still at least together, but I know that some of them probably aren’t. This was such a great look at how life changes as time goes on. As depressing as it was at moments, I still enjoyed this chance to see how things have changed over the years. I hope that after this everything works out for Amber and Tony. They are perfect for each other and it was ncie to see that they realized it in the end.Arc provided via Netgalley for an honest review.
