What does a woman do when her man is perfect in every way...except he has a little problem with commitment?
In this relatable, lighthearted, and playful memoir, Hilary reminisces about her life before Marc—from the insecure and awkward teenage years she spent in a back brace and dealing with the loss of her father, to her early relationships and, finally, to the day she met Marc and realized that she really wanted to see him again. Through their first date—even though Hilary was technically seeing someone else at the time—and the ease of their early time together until Marc first decided that they were moving too quickly, up until that fateful New Year’s Eve, Hilary shares the details of their relationship and how Marc’s inability to commit led her to find an inner strength and confidence she didn’t know she possessed.
For anyone who has ever dated a commitment-phobe, who has found their patience wearing thin with the one they love, or who has sat around wondering if he is ever going to pop the question while trying to remain the very picture of patience and grace, Hilary's humorous and honest story will hit home.

Disclosure: The author gave me a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
My take:
Hilary has an easy, flowing writing style that made reading her story a real pleasure. I often found myself smiling, laughing, crying, and getting mad right along with her. By the end of the book, I was rooting for this couple to make the marriage commitment (even though I was well aware of the ending). Marc seems like a wonderful man and Hilary seems like a very patient woman. Their story is real, not the figment of a novelist's imagination, which makes the telling even more priceless. Hilary adds such detail to every scene that I feel as if I'm right in the middle of their lives. A very brave and public way to express her love for Marc.
