I Give My Marriage A Year: A Heartbreaking and Humorous Story of Family Life and Second Chances from Bestselling Author Holly Wainwright

'This book will have you nodding, laughing and crying' — Sally Hepworth, New York Times bestselling author of Darling Girls

One year. Twelve tests. A lifetime of secrets.

How far would you go to save your marriage when it feels like you’re living with a stranger?

Lou and Josh have the house, the kids, and a thousand shared memories. But Lou is drowning under the invisible weight of a marriage on autopilot.

After a disastrous family Christmas, she reaches a terrifying breaking point. She isn’t ready to leave; but she can’t stay like this.

In a final bid to save her family, Lou sets an ultimatum: one year, twelve tests.

From enforced intimacy to brutal honesty, this is a rescue mission to find the man she married. But as the tests push them to the edge, the life they’ve built begins to truly unravel.
