“I know, deep down, it’s going to become your obsession too, the moment you meet Roslyn and Liam”
I knew this book was going to destroy me—figuratively, emotionally, and absolutely—and yet, I still wasn’t ready. I haven’t stopped thinking about it since I turned the last page. It’s becoming an obsession… but in the best possible way. And I know, deep down, it’s going to become your obsession too, the moment you meet Roslyn and Liam.
Roslyn and Liam are everything to me. From the very beginning, when their marriage felt like it was unraveling, I couldn’t help but root for them. They didn’t need space—they needed each other. What they truly needed was time in close quarters, a safe place to finally say what they were afraid to say out loud. They’d been walking on eggshells for so long, avoiding the hard conversations, that they forgot how to be honest—with themselves and with each other.
Then comes the annual family trip—cue the forced proximity trope I live for. In a twist of fate (and brilliance), they’re forced to "fake date" their own marriage, and it’s this trip that forces them to confront everything they’ve been burying for years.
What struck me most was how real their struggles felt. Roslyn is grieving her mother, battling the distance that’s grown between her and the rest of her family. Liam, on the other hand, has never really had a voice—growing up in a family that taught him to bottle up his emotions. Both of their family histories are quietly (and not so quietly) wrecking their marriage from the inside. And yet, watching them slowly, painfully, beautifully peel back those layers was so worth every ache in my chest.
This book isn’t just about romance—it’s about emotional survival, communication, grief, identity, and love in its rawest, most vulnerable form. Roslyn and Liam will stay with me for a long time, and if you give them a chance, I know they’ll stay with you too.
