Sometimes I'm reading a book, and there's a perfect little excerpt that jumps out of the pages and into my life. Nick Hornby does that a lot, but I've read all his books, so I had to find someone new. Frankly, I picked this off the shelf because it said "marriage" in the title, and I'm going to get married soon(ish). The Story of a Marriage by Andrew Sean Greer. Fiction, definitely leaning on the literary side, but full of surprises and little thorns that poke you in places you'd rather remained complacent.
"But nobody is strong or wise or good or faithful, not really. It turns out everyone is faking it as best they can."
