Jamie Fewery’s The Brink is a refreshing, realistic read. Dan and Anya have been together for 15 years and have decided to get a divorce. Different facets of their relationship are explored as they work with a mediator, which always concludes with a resounding question, How did we get here? This book is unique in how their relationship has evolved, mainly through meandering past and present events. Broad topics such as infidelity, finances, homes and children give a glimpse of Dan and Anya as lovers, partners, homemakers and parents. I appreciated how realistic this book is, relationships require honesty and effort, and love isn’t enough. There are no rainbows and sunshine, or romanticisms, a deviation from your usual romance reads. Instead, it focuses on how these two individuals are flawed beings and are in the process of determining whether or not they wish to continue being together. There were moments when I laughed and got emotional. The ending was beautifully written and heartfelt. It left a lasting impact as I read the final chapter twice. If you’re looking for something different that touches on the realness of relationships, give this book a go!
