Hayley ☾ (TheVillainousReader)'s Reviews > Do I Know You?

It was so refreshing and unique reading a story about a couple who was not only already together, but had spent years together. It was unique and refreshing reading about a couple who was struggling in their marriage. It was unique and refreshing reading about a couple struggling in their marriage, but willing to stay and work through their struggles. It was unique and refreshing reading a second chance romance within a committed and monogamous long-term relationship.

I just really enjoyed everything about Do I Know You? I found both Eliza and Graham very fun and interesting characters. I loved the concept of Eliza and Graham role-playing as "strangers who bump into each other on vacation" as a strategy to work through their material problems and insecurities. This plus the setting of a fancy resort, with different planned couple activities kept, the story light-hearted and fun, while also tackling the very real and relatable problems within Eliza and Graham's marriage.

Do I Know You is not about falling out of love, and back into love, with your spouse. It's about falling into the monotony of every day life. It's about forgetting to be excited by your partner, forgetting to ask more than just the courteous dinner table questions of how their day was, forgetting while they love you, why they chose you. It's about rekindling the spark, being swept off your feet by someone you already love, stepping outside of your comfort zone and remembering that you should never stop dating the person you're in a relationship with.

This is a lovely and swoony read for Summer and I will definitely be reading more by these authors.
