SPOILER ALERT!!  This starts on Joe and Sara's wedding night with them feeling so much love for one another. Three years later, Joe's paintings still aren't selling. Sara comforts him, even as they argue, and suggests he change to portrait painting. Thirteen years and two kids after that, Joe is a famous painter. They have everything they have always wanted, but have drifted apart. The arguing has escalated so much so that Sara asks for a divorce. This becomes another turning point for them as they work through it. Span to 20 years later, they are back to loving each other as much as day one. Sara gets sick and dies. In the end 25 years later, Joe is 86 and Sara's spirit comes to take him home.This story is a romantic comedy written in the style of a play, with narration, and the setting was their bedroom throughout the entire play. I liked how the author relayed Joe and Sara's feeling throughout the play. Even though it would span many years in-between, you still could feel how they got to that point. I could relate to everything they went through, and felt empathy for both of them. It was an enjoyable read.
