Will you still love me tomorrow?
What happens when you take a marriage sabbatical from your husband, who also happens to be your childhood sweetheart? Cant imagine?
Well, dont...
The novel, "will you still love me tomorrow" by Claudia Caroll is absolutely speedy and bumps at the right places and takes you to the world of a heroine who is going crazy with her life, and .. of all things, being married to her childhood sweetheart ! Not always do you come across a book cover that makes you take it home to read without giving it a second thought.
Well, this is one such book - that you dare not miss to read.
You start rooting for Annie, the protagonist of the book, right from the word go. She is one of those lovable, honest to goodness person and at the same time does things you somehow start associating yourslef with. Dan, her childhood sweetheart cum husband, is a typical workaholic and sacrificing-life-for-the-poor kind of bloke.
So, wondering about the story already? Yes, you should be ;)
And as things go, Annie finds a silver lining in her drab and monotonous life in the village, with nothing to do all day, other than wait for her share of 2 minutes with her husband in the 24-hour clock. That's how much time Dan gives her most days, some days none. Annie, the ever patient and understanding wife, cracks at one point and grabs her golden opportunity, when she sees one, dangling like meat to a dog!
Broadway calling ! Oh, how happy when I felt when she went for it, with all she had.. with just one single threat - to be away from Dan for, not just a couple of months, but one full fun frolicking year! So, yes, unexpectedly all of a sudden, there's a twist in Annie's simple drab life!
Dan however, is unaffected by all this, to say the least, and suggests that they take a marriage sabbatical for a year! Annie is double minded about the idea... not in the same lines of whether she'll miss Dan for a year, BUT, on the lines of.. Will she still want to go back to her life back to the village, her worry sick mother-in-law, Countess Dracula and most importantly, her Dan, after a year's break - what with such bright shiny promises before her..
Enter Jack, the expected middle hero in Annie's life, trying to lure her to NYC ways and pursuing her like his life depended on it.. Annie wavers for a few days but gets back to gear when Dan, out of the blue, sends her an sms, after 5 whole months, which says "meet me in the moon" !! Swoon..........
So, guess what happens next .. Yes, Dan realizes his total ignorance towards his wife and swears to her that he will never leave her side again for,like, forever ..This phase of Dan - the ideal perfect husband, who is crazily in love with his wife, even if it seems like an after-thought, has been written so convincingly and his character portrayed in a way that you can relate to..
and Annie, as sweet and totally gullible as ever, falls hard for Dan, all over again :) At this point of the book, the author makes you pray for Annie and her new future...filled with promises of a happy married life..
The story twists and moves, highlighting Annie's life, her job and her friends.. and what a wholesome ride it is! Friendship, longing for love, marriage, all wrapped into a huggable (is that even a word? oh heck with spell check) bundle! :")
