Olive Oil and White Bread
Like the four star rating says, I really liked this book. As someone who has been with the same woman for nearly 30 years, I appreciated the honest look at what long term couples go through and how hard it can be to stay together. Hard but rewarding and worth the fight. It's easy to lose yourselves as a couple when you're growing so much as individuals, too.Like most of the author's books, I truly enjoyed getting to know the characters and they felt three dimensional and authentic. The language and tone, along with the individual voices of the characters all made this likely one of my favorite of Ms. Beers' books. It was hard to read at times but because of the tough emotional issues being dealt with, not because of any major technical issues.
I'm loving the direction the author has been going with her writing over the past year or so and I'm looking forward to her next book. No matter what it's about.
