Check-ins/Updates:
Before I begin:
This is about a marriage in trouble 😱 and I see few circumstances as troubling as leaving 🤔 🤨 So this story looks good 👍🏽 Never read Janna MagGregor before, excited to start! 😬
End of book 📖
♥️ Caro & Stephen 😁😏 Not too angsty of a story 👍🏽 Understand Caro feeling unimportant 🥲 Attention is important 👍🏽
It’s common and easy to get too comfortable. It’s important to make it known someone is important, especially before it’s too late ⏰
