'After I Do' by Taylor Jenkins Reid

From the BLURB: 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.

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 ...

MWF and ROMA 2016

Hello Darling Readers! Have you noticed - I'm slowly getting back into the swing of reviewing things? Yay for me! I have missed updating the blog :)  Just thought I'd interrupt the (now!) regularly scheduled reviewing to share some good news and events that are coming up ...  I am very lucky to have FIVE session at this year's Melbourne Writers Festival - I get to chair events for the enviably talented duo of Vikki Wakefield and Claire Zorn , plus two authors you might have heard of - Rainbow Rowell and David Levithan ? I get to ask Clementine Ford and Amy Gray their opinions on opinion writing - I think they'll have a few. Myself and Myke Bartlett will talk all about reviewing , and then I'll be teaming up with Sonia Nair for a fun and intense workshop on exactly how to write digital content and get your work published. Phew!  All details of my MWF session can be found here:  http://mwf.com.au/writer/danielle-binks/ And in other news ... I'm a finalist in the ...
