Summary
During a cringey visit to IKEA, the store where relationships go to die, Emma finally blurts out to Rob that she is no longer happy in their 26-year marriage. She wants more meaningful work, connections, thrills, joy – and more passionate sex. It’s been ages.
Rob knows their marriage isn’t perfect, but it’s good enough…isn’t it? He’s loyal, solid, a good provider. What more does she want, anyway?
Emma suggests taking a Marriage Gap Year. Time apart, no calls, no texts. This feisty communications manager wants the comms switched off between them for the next 12 months. As Rob and Emma embark on their Gap Year, their expectations don’t quite match the reality. But the more time they spend apart, the more Rob and Emma both begin to remember who they were before the kids, the jobs, and their endless responsibilities. Will their marriage survive a year apart? Find out in this sparkling novel set in bustling Melbourne and the sparkling beaches of San Remo, where love, friendship, and the search for happiness collide.
This lusty romantic dramedy explores the ennui of modern marriage, the depth of friendships, and to what extent we are willing to run away in order to come back to the people we love.
Critic reviews
♥ “A wonderful, warm, and riveting read about two prickly people, this is more than a romantic comedy. It is ultimately about how it is never too late to find meaning and joy.”– Alice Pung, author of One Hundred Days
