Its a quaint novella, even for this reader, being a bit thick in catching onto the similarities to Dickens infamous Christmas carol (I know, pathetic). But never fear, most readers will not have this problem and it didnt make me enjoy the story any less.
Some of the similarities between that old tale and this new one in A Marriage Carol are pretty funny: Jacob and Marlee Ebeneezer, but thankfully the dog was not named Scrooge. (wink)
All joking aside, I found this novella a quick read, but completely charming. Its a real world story in a couple on their way to sign the divorce papers, but what happens on the road to the lawyer completely sidelines any plans they had.
I loved the little twist in the end, something I didnt see coming and made me smile. It makes you think about how every choice we make effects our lives, no matter how small. In the book Marlee had the chance to see into her future, something that will never happen to the normal person in a normal world, but it certainly begs the question, would we make the same choices if we knew what the futures outcome would be? Probably not.
Its a good story that gets its point across, but in a way that is enjoyable, sweet and worthy of sharing with any struggling (or not struggling) couple.
This review is my honest opinion. Thanks to the publishers through Netgalley for my copy to review.
