review 1: synopsis:faith and tony have been married for 25 years, and faith feels as though there is nothing that tony can do to surprise her, and that they are comfortable together. on a trip back to their hometown, tony plans a surprise, revisiting the important places and times in their lives over a weekend. he writes letters for faith to read as well.what i liked: that tony and faith weren't ever really in trouble; that their marriage wasn't in crisis. i liked the fact that faith could still be surprised by tony, and that they still loved each other and didn't really take each other for granted. i also liked how tony planned everything. the story didn't feel as though it would benefit from being any longer; it felt complete.what i didn't like: that tony was able to keep such ext... moreensive planning secret from faith.
review 2: 6 let-me-remind-u-about-our-love stars!u'll end up with a warm feeling to your heart, a wet cheek, and incredibly strong urges to find your own Troy for life. hell, can i marry Troy?lemme tell u why Troy is a book-husband #1,1. he is such a high-school sweetlove. the sweetest one that held the promise he said till 25yrs later." I told you I didn’t know exactly what the future held for me, just that I wanted you in it.” She kissed the pad of his thumb on its next pass. “You gave me this jacket, said you’d replace it with a ring when you had the money.”2. he kept ur precious memory well, something that usually another guy not do a more than side way glancing."This bench was donated in honor of the love of my life. It was here Faith said yes and agreed to become my wife."3. he is not afraid to admit that behind a great man there always be a strong and loving wife that made him stood proud and tall."You just came into my life and let me be me. You have always been the only woman in the world for me. You’re my best friend, my lover, my wife and my life.""Our love ran hotter than a furnace when we first got married and I can remember rushing through the days at work, just so I could run home to you. I became a man in your arms, physically and emotionally. When I left my parents’ home, I was an idealistic boy with more plans than brains, more grand schemes than money."" You were the glue that held me together, kept me moving forward. My parents raised me with their values, but you’re the one who taught me what those values meant. You showed me how to walk the walk and how to live inside my own skin. You never stopped believing in me, in our future, in our dreams."4. he is incredible father, adoring u who give him such a wonderful gift like kids."i've received hundreds of gifts in my lifetime—from ties on Christmas to a clunky used car on my seventeenth birthday. None of them compare to the ultimate gift you gave me—fatherhood."5. oh altough he is pussywhipped, he still, in fact, a man, searching for his reward after being a good boy."I’m a guy, Faith. We don’t think of sex as spoiling, but more as sustenance."see?how could u arent praying for ur own Troy right after finishing this book? he made u married to him twice, letting u know that he would do it all over again to show u how u are a god-gift angel that fallen straight to his life. sigh.and through Troy vision, then i realize how incredible Faith is, as her own woman, as Troy wife, and as Jackson-Jenna mother. and i sort of wish i could be that kind of woman for my family someday.“You know. Home has never been a physical place for me. It’s never been a specific dot on the map. Home is anywhere you are.”"You were the answer to the question twenty-five years ago and you’re still the answer. You’re my future."this is a must read book, really. so beautiful and heartwarming. and really do motivate me to be a better person. thank you for writing this and sharing this to us. such an eye-opening. less

I can relate to this book after 37 years of marriage. I would like to "Do Over".
