About The Book
They still loved each other. They just couldn't stay married.
Lauren and Ryan have been married for years. They love each other—but somewhere along the way, they've stopped being in love.
With their relationship at breaking point, they make a desperate decision.
One year apart.
No phone calls. No messages. No contact whatsoever.
If they're meant to find their way back to each other, they'll do it after a year of living separate lives.
As Lauren navigates life without her husband, she begins to question everything she thought she knew about love, marriage, loyalty, and commitment. Surrounded by friends and family whose relationships challenge her assumptions, she discovers that the rules she has always lived by may not be the only path to happiness.
But as the months pass, one question becomes impossible to ignore:
When the person you've always loved becomes a stranger, can you find your way back to them?
Heartfelt, thought-provoking, and emotionally unforgettable, After I Do is a powerful novel about marriage, identity, second chances, and what it really means to choose someone—not just once, but over and over again.
Perfect for readers who love deeply emotional contemporary fiction, complex relationships, and stories that stay with them long after the final page.
