About this listen

From USA Today best-selling author, Marley Valentine comes a brand new, marriage in crisis, hurt/comfort, standalone, gay romance.

If someone asked me to describe our love story, I would only need to use two words.

Before and After.

When I met Leonardo Ricci, he was determined I would only be a fling, while I was certain he was my forever.

Seven years later, we’re the perfect couple. Happy, married, and in love–in sickness and health, till death do us part.

At least until the unthinkable happens.

Now we can’t look at each other. We don’t sleep in the same bed. We can’t even be in the same room. The loss is too great and the pain runs too deep.

But this man is the love of my life. I convinced him once, and I would be damned if I couldn’t do it again. I would be damned if I couldn’t fix what we broke.

Marley’s books are always a yes for me. This was a little different but WOW. It breaks you then puts you back together, then breaks you a little bit again at the end, but in a good way.

Just finished "What We Broke," and I'm emotionally drained in the best way. This book was a rollercoaster of emotions. Leo's raw journey through grief and depression was powerful.

The story explores different ways of grieving, highlighting Leo's struggle to see his husband Jesse's pain. It raises the question of who supports the supporter when both are hurting.

The narrative alternates between past and present, contrasting happiness with sadness. As Leo heals, the bond with Jesse emerges stronger.

"What We Broke" showcases love's strength and human resilience. It's an emotional journey worth taking.

This book was everything!
