GoodBookStall Review:
Books about marriage are not normally ones I'd take off the shelf to read, concerned that they'd either be too frothy white lace and orange blossom, or too deeply analytical. This book, refreshingly, falls into neither category, as Jo Swinney's breezy style informs without preaching. She interviews eleven very different couples to gather information on how they got together, and to conclude how their approach should be successful. Adding her own thoughts, observations and questions for couples, the book illustrates that marriages from those arranged by parents to whirlwind romances, are as different as all humans are individuals.
