""Do not miss this book. You will laugh, cry and think forever about the characters. A story of our times."" - Rachel Matthews, author of Never Look Desperate, Siren and Vinyl Inside ""The Marriage Gap Year does not begin or end where you expect. A wonderful, warm and riveting read about two prickly people, this is more than a romantic comedy. It is about what happens when wisdom of experience solidifies but is not recognised at workplaces. It is about taking the time to craft something of significance as Rob the builder does. It is ultimately about how it is never too late to examine life philosophically to find meaning and joy."" - Alice Pung, author of Unpolished Gem, Laurinda and One Hundred Days ""In the age of fakery, the authenticity of this story is a precious gift."" - Sian Prior, author of Shy: a memoir and Childless: a story of longing and freedom ""I read The Marriage Gap Year in one night with a glass of wine and it was wonderful. The novel is about what happens in long-term marriages when one partner decides to take a break. It also serves as a critique of interactions between Gen X and Gen Z."" - Astrid Edwards, host of The Garrett, a podcast for lovers of books and storytelling
