About this audiobook

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo comes an all-new audio production read by Julia Whelan, including a bonus conversation with Julia Whelan and Taylor Jenkins Reid, recorded exclusively for this edition.

When Lauren and Ryan’s marriage reaches the breaking point, they come up with an unconventional plan. They decide to take a year off in the hopes of finding a way to fall in love again. One year apart, and only one rule: they cannot contact each other. Aside from that, anything goes.

Lauren embarks on a journey of self-discovery, quickly finding that her friends and family have their own ideas about the meaning of marriage. These influences, as well as her own healing process and the challenges of living apart from Ryan, begin to change Lauren’s ideas about monogamy and marriage. She starts to question: When you can have romance without loyalty and commitment without marriage, when love and lust are no longer tied together, what do you value? What are you willing to fight for?

This is a love story about what happens when the love fades. It’s about staying in love, seizing love, forsaking love, and committing to love with everything you’ve got. And above all, After I Do is the story of a couple caught up in an old game—and searching for a new road to happily ever after.

    Fantastic narration. This book is a must read for anyone with marriage troubles or issues with their partner. It hit me straight in the feels. TJR makes you feel what Lauren is feeling. The message in the novel is so relevant and powerful. The book literally had me in tears at times.

    It just flowed, and was so easy to listen to. It was about real life, and how family is so important, and also love.

    Absolutely brilliantly written and performed. This author and actress is one of my all time favorites. I get lost in the story and both escape my world for a bit but feel as though I learn and work through things along with the characters. Idk what more you could ask for.

    I really enjoyed the journey through marriage in this story. How she interweaves how complex it is in a very simplistic way.

    I went blindly into this book because I love the author. I really enjoyed it but it wasn’t an easy read. It’s not an easy subject but it is beautifully told and makes you feel all the feels. I loved to see the growth in both Lauren and Ryan.

    This hit closer home than I was expecting. I could feel myself seeing my husband on this exact dilemma and now see it is worth it to put in the work. Thank you for writing such a beautiful and meaningful story.

    TJR books are great audiobooks. I get sucked into the story but they are easy to follow along with, so if for some reason I get distracted i can tune back in or back it up a bit and get reabsorbed right back into the story. I legit laughed out loud and parts of this book, especially in the last couple of chapters. Which is odd since some tragic things are happening. Can't wait for my next TJR!

    I really enjoyed the family dynamics. How close they were and closer they got. How they learned about themselves and about each other. How they helped each other when they even didn’t know.

    I really enjoyed it. English is my second language but it was easy to follow. The narrator was perfect. The novel is great. The characters were lovable. It is not for everyone. I think people who has been living in a marriage for some time can appreciate it more. So relatable.
