The first half of the book is delightfully charming and had me laughing out loud more than once. I especially loved how the couple matches each other's "idiot energy" with how much they love each other and remain committed to each other. Then we have about 100 pages of unnecessary and boring nonsense, then a third act rife with tense mystery for almost no reason except to give something to rope the reader back into the action. But it was still a pretty good read (hard to go wrong with Kinsella) and I really enjoyed both Dan and Sylvie as leads. This was a fresh perspective on marriage in a rom-com, especially since the couple never fully loses sight of each other even as they are separated.
