CAN THEY SAVE THEIR MARRIAGE?

Fourteen years, two kids, a big mortgage, and a million moments glue together the marriage of Lou and Josh. But after a particularly fraught family Christmas, Lou starts to wonder if it's worth the effort.

Ever the doer, she sets a series of monthly tests, from daily sex to brutal honesty, to help her decide if she should stay or leave. The results are surprising, funny and tender.

A propulsive, sometimes uncomfortable, and always insightful story of the highs, lows and absurdities of modern marriage, I Give My Marriage A Year is the novel you'll want to talk about at length.
