I Give My Marriage A Year

'The most insightful novel on marriage I've ever read.' Mia Freedman

'This book will have you nodding, laughing and crying, and most of all, incredibly invested in the outcome.' Sally Hepworth

Lou and Josh have been together for 14 years. They share two kids, a mortgage, careers and plenty of history. Now, after a particularly fraught Christmas, Lou is ready to ask herself: is this marriage worth hanging on to?

I Give my Marriage a Year paints a sharply accurate, often hilarious picture of a modern Australian marriage. Lou and Josh are a couple on the edge, and their efforts to bring their relationship back from the brink will resonate with anyone who has ever asked themselves: is this enough?

'Wainwright gets the tone right, there are some funny moments alongside the marital drama . . . by the end you'll be looking at your own relationship and wondering if it's time to set your own deadline.' Courier-Mail
