'Witty, funny, warm and wise' Marian KeyesIs it a break? Or is it a blip?'You've just had a holiday, ' I pointed out, trying not to yawn. 'Wasn't that enough of a break?' 'I don't mean that kind of break.'There's nothing worse than the last day of holiday. Oh wait, there is. When what should have been a proposal turns into a break, Liv and Adam find themselves on opposite sides of the life they had mapped out.Friends and family all think they're crazy; Liv throws herself into work - animals are so much simpler than humans - and Adam tries to get himself out of the hole he's dug. But as the short break becomes a chasm, can they find a way back to each other? Most importantly, do they want to?
A proposal gone wrong fractures a couple's future, forcing them to confront the possibility of a permanent separation. Liv and Adam's idyllic holiday ends not with a ring, but with a declaration of a 'break,' shattering the life they had meticulously planned. While friends and family question their decision, Liv seeks solace in her work with animals, finding them less complicated than human relationships, and Adam attempts to rectify his mistakes. As the distance between them widens, the narrative explores whether they can bridge the gap and if they even desire to reconcile.
The premise sets up a contemporary romance that balances humor with the emotional complexities of relationship challenges. The narrative appears to focus on the internal struggles of the protagonists as they navigate the fallout of a significant life event. The inclusion of animal-related subplots suggests a grounding element that contrasts with the interpersonal drama. The story likely explores themes of communication, forgiveness, and the definition of a 'break' in a committed relationship, aiming for a warm and wise tone as suggested by the blurb.
