Publisher's summary

From the New York Times best-selling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo comes an all-new audio production read by Julia Whelan, including a bonus conversation with Julia Whelan and Taylor Jenkins Reid, recorded exclusively for this edition.

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. These influences, as well as her own healing process and the challenges of living apart from Ryan, begin to change Lauren’s ideas about monogamy and 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 is the story of a couple caught up in an old game—and searching for a new road to happily ever after.

Really liked this

At times, not an easy listen as it deals with separation and marital discord that’s probably relatable for many. Great performance and a great story.

Great read!

I really liked this book even though it wasn’t a pretty start. It was necessary to set the tone of the relationship. It was a great read with many interesting characters.

Love all TJR books

This one didn’t disappoint. I am big fan of TJR books and this was the last one I hadn’t read/listened to. It was great and I wasn’t sure how I felt about the initial storyline (marriage troubles) but loved how it developed and how the characters evolved too.

Beautiful Written

People these days don’t have the respect for marriage anymore. It’s such an old school thing to do. This is a beautiful written story that reminds ones of the gift marriage is and why it’s worth saving. Marriage is hard. But with effort and love anything is possible. I loved this! Just overall well written.

This pair did it again

I love TJR and Julia Whelan and putting them together always creates magic.
This was a beautiful story and maybe my favorite TJR so far. The characters are relatable and the writing pulls you along to have you connect with every twist and turn. All the feels with this book.

My favorite TJR yet

So completely different than what she's writing now, which I've liked but I LOVED this book.
