"One of the first honest, moving and funny portrayals of a solid
marriage I have ever read." -Jessica Grose, The New York Times A
Best Book of 2022 from The New Yorker and Chicago Tribune An
illuminating, poignant, and savagely funny examination of modern
marriage from Ask Polly advice columnist Heather Havrilesky If
falling in love is the peak of human experience, then marriage is
the slow descent down that mountain, on a trail built from
conflict, compromise, and nagging doubts. Considering the limited
economic advantages to marriage, the deluge of other mate options a
swipe away, and the fact that almost half of all marriages in the
United States end in divorce anyway, why do so many of us still
chain ourselves to one human being for life? In Foreverland,
Heather Havrilesky illustrates the delights, aggravations, and
sublime calamities of her marriage over the span of fifteen years,
charting an unpredictable course from meeting her one true love to
slowly learning just how much energy is required to keep that love
aflame. This refreshingly honest portrait of a marriage reveals
that our relationships are not simply "happy" or "unhappy," but
something much murkier-at once unsavory, taxing, and deeply
satisfying. With tales of fumbled proposals, harrowing suburban
migrations, external temptations, and the bewildering insults of
growing older, Foreverland is a work of rare candor and insight.
Havrilesky traces a path from daydreaming about forever for the
first time to understanding what a tedious, glorious drag forever
can be.
