My First Line Friday Review of For Better or for Granted

I believe I’ve read all of Amy R. Anguish’s books at this point, and I have to say, this one is by far my favorite. It’s not your traditional boy-meets-girl romance. But I think that’s part of the reason I enjoyed it so much.

I enjoy the early stages of romance, complete with butterflies, getting to know one another, and a great first kiss. That’s fun and exciting. But what about after the “happily ever after”? Once real life drops a mortgage, full-time jobs, and children in your lap, adulting with the one who created butterflies isn’t always so fun.

But that doesn’t mean the love story is over or even that it isn’t as story worthy as the early times in the relationship. For Better or for Granted showcases the problems that come when married couples start taking each other for granted. It presents the truth that real love is more than fluttery eyelashes and first dates. It takes work, but it is so worth it.

Don’t worry, though. There are plenty of swoon-worthy moments which go to show romance and butterflies aren’t reserved for those just falling in love. It’s also for those who put in the effort to keep loving when life gets real.

My First Line Friday Review Star Rating

I give For Better or for Granted five stars for showing readers both the pitfalls in marriage and the beauty of love that keeps fighting. And for adding in a good helping of the swoon moments as well.
