About this listen

CAN THEY SAVE THEIR MARRIAGE?

Fourteen years, two kids, a big mortgage, and a million moments glue together the marriage of Lou and Josh. But after a particularly fraught family Christmas, Lou starts to wonder if it's worth the effort.

Ever the doer, she sets a series of monthly tests, from daily sex to brutal honesty, to help her decide if she should stay or leave. The results are surprising, funny and tender.

A propulsive, sometimes uncomfortable, and always insightful story of the highs, lows and absurdities of modern marriage, I Give My Marriage a Year is the novel you'll want to talk about at length.

This story of a relationship and all it’s ups and downs is so ordinary and so relatable, and keeps you guessing until the last moment.

Loved this book... in some ways it was so ‘normal’ and seemed to be describing almost everyone’s marriage that I know. But that was the beauty of it, so utterly relatable I could have sworn I was reading about my own marriage at times. Holly is a wonderful writer and a wonderful person (outlouder here 🙋🏼‍♀️ so I feel like we are friends and I’m qualified to make that statement 😜)
Highly recommended ❤️
