"After being together for ten years, Sylvie and Dan have all the trimmings of a happy life and marriage; they have a comfortable home, fulfilling jobs, beautiful twin girls, and communicate so seamlessly, they finish each other's sentences. However, a trip to the doctor projects they will live another 68 years together and panic sets in. They never expected "until death do us part" to mean seven decades. In the name of marriage survival, they quickly concoct a plan to keep their relationship fresh and exciting: they will create little surprises for each other so that their (extended) years together will never become boring. But in their pursuit to execute Project Surprise Me, mishaps arise and secrets are uncovered that start to threaten the very foundation of their unshakable bond. When a scandal from the past is revealed that question some important untold truths, they begin to wonder if they ever really knew each other after all. With a colorful, eccentric cast of characters, razor-sharp observations, and her signature wit and charm, Sophie Kinsella crafts a humorous, yet thoughtful portrait of a marriage and shines a light on the danger of not looking past the many layers of the ones you love to discover how infinitely fascinating--and surprising--they truly are"-- Provided by publisher.

Summer Read submitted by lpettie on June 23, 2018, 10:17pm Kinsella does not disappoint if you are looking for light reading on a beautiful summer day. Pack this in your beach bag and enjoy!

A quick read submitted by Zekicmom on August 27, 2019, 7:58am Not a book I see myself rereading, but enjoyable. Was good for summer and did even surprise me occasinally. It might get you thinking about just how much of your future would you really want to know in advance?

Great premise, unexpected twist! submitted by pamhockey25 on August 19, 2020, 9:58am This is the first book I've read by author, Sophie Kinsella. The premise is that a young couple figure out that they will be married over 60 years by the time they die, and they take another look at their relationship and how to keep it 'fresh' - hence the 'surprise me'. But the book has depth, Sylvie is grieving the death of her father even years later, and what exactly is her husband Dan doing for her mother? This is one 'surprise' that Sylvie never sees coming.

I really enjoyed this book and will read more books by this author. If you haven't read anything by Sophie Kinsella, I think this book will change your mind.
