I love books where the main characters are married because there are so few of them out there. Making It Last was intense with real feelings and emotions and an accurate portrayal of what marriage can be like. I found myself relating to Amber a lot. I have been married for 14 years and have two children and there are times I just want a break. I thought Ruthie did a fantastic job of capturing Amber and Tony in this stage of their lives - married with children in a struggling economic environment.  Ruthie stayed true to their characters from How To Misbehave, and shows us that marriage is hard work but so worth it.In Making It Last, Ruthie writes about how deep love goes between two people and how life can test that love. Married couples will appreciate this book. Those yet to be married will get a glimpse of how intense marriage is - both on the positive and negative.  I think Tony and Amber show that for all those downs there are a millions ups. They also teach us the importance of communication and working as a team. We also get to see that intimacy can be even better when you are with someone you know so well. Making It Last was an incredible story. If you are looking for something beyond just fun and flirty, pick up a copy of Making It Last and see how two people learn how to make their marriage last.
