Alexis Hall always writes intelligent books with swoony romances. His previous book, Boyfriend Material, is also incredibly funny and one of my all-time favorites.

Writing a sequel to a romance novel is tricky because the characters have already reached a happy ending. He pulls it off by exploring what a relationship is like as it ages—as the partners tire of going out or wonder about a lifelong commitment.

I’m at a similar stage of life and loved revisiting these favorite characters to see how they navigated it (while knowing their story would still have a happy ending).
