When Rosie and Dom have internal thoughts about their relationship, it is sad and it feels sad to read. That is how I felt when reading the parts of this book. It is like a peek in to the worst and saddest parts of these couples. I have only listened to a few but the ones I have are raw and emotional and at times incredibly hard to listen to. Perel is a couples therapist who talks to couples about their, usually troubled relationships. In the front matter, Bailey mentions that she drew some inspiration for this book from Ester Perel’s podcast, Where Should We Begin. I ended up having incredibly mixed feelings about this book.

But with this trope, I was never not going to read Love Her or Lose Her. I haven’t read Bailey in quite some time, I’ve kind of moved away from reading and enjoying her brand of possessive alpha heroes. There is something so appealing to me about reading about couples who have to figure out their shit and decide to make their marriage work.

By now y’all may know that I love the marriage in trouble trope.
