Synopsis

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo comes an all-new audio production read by Julia Whelan, including a bonus conversation with Julia Whelan and Taylor Jenkins Reid, recorded exclusively for this edition.

When Lauren and Ryan’s marriage reaches the breaking point, they come up with an unconventional plan. They decide to take a year off in the hopes of finding a way to fall in love again. One year apart, and only one rule: they cannot contact each other. Aside from that, anything goes.

Lauren embarks on a journey of self-discovery, quickly finding that her friends and family have their own ideas about the meaning of marriage. These influences, as well as her own healing process and the challenges of living apart from Ryan, begin to change Lauren’s ideas about monogamy and marriage. She starts to question: When you can have romance without loyalty and commitment without marriage, when love and lust are no longer tied together, what do you value? What are you willing to fight for?

This is a love story about what happens when the love fades. It’s about staying in love, seizing love, forsaking love, and committing to love with everything you’ve got. And above all, After I Do is the story of a couple caught up in an old game—and searching for a new road to happily ever after.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Zoë

"Isn't it nice...once you've outgrown the ideas of what life should be and you just enjoy what it is?" I love how TJR is able to weave together different elements of a story (such as flashbacks and emails) so seamlessly. This went beyond a simple "finding yourself" and "discovering love again" story......more

Goodreads review by Bel

a leitura toca em pontos específicos que os seres humanos sentem certa dificuldade em lidar; tanto com a problemática de um casamento cujo amor se perdeu nas intercorrências dos anos, quanto nos caminhos que uma traição pode trilhar até ser, de fato, conceituada como tal. taylor jenkins reid consegu......more

Goodreads review by Pam

Depois de ler livros tão fortes como "Daisy Jones e The Six" e "Os Sete Maridos de Evelyn Hugo", as publicações mais recentes da Taylor Jenkins Reid, é impossível não ter uma certa expectativa com suas histórias. Eu li "Amores Verdadeiros", então já sabia que o livro seguiria na mesma linha. O tema......more


Quotes

"Julia Whelan narrates the story of a couple who are struggling with a rough patch in their marriage. Lauren and Ryan met at 19, and married at 24. Now 29, they are struggling to remember why — or even if — they still love each other, so they decide to take a year-long break. Whelan perfectly captures the arc of their relationship, which moves from awkward college flirting to the caustic sniping of a marital fight over something truly stupid. Her skill at narrating the everyday is both a strength and a flaw: For some this performance might be too uncomfortably like their own lives laid bare, while for others it could be deeply cathartic. Whelan also gives depth and personality to secondary characters, who are generally underdeveloped in the text."
