This Used to Be Us, Renee Carlino
After twenty-two years together, Danielle and Alex are getting a divorce. Once fiercely in love, they can barely stand the sound of each other's voice. To save money during the separation process, they decide to share a nesting apartment, swapping days with their two boys at the family home. In the apartment, Dani and Alex, on their own, begin to reflect on the last two decades - why they fell in love, and why the marriage fell, spectacularly, apart. The distance provides a chance for them to get to know their autonomous selves again. They both get back in the dating pool, Dani finds major success at work as a showrunner on her own TV project, and Alex starts dating a much younger woman. Still, they find they just can't stay away from each other, and somehow, the distance allows them to remember (for the first time in years) what they what they used to love about one another. Then, a family crisis suddenly draws them back into each other's orbit.

By far, my 2nd favorite spade brother ❤️ this book had me in a chokehold. The themes in this book are not for the faint of heart, please read the trigger warnings. I can say hands down, that this bookhad me taking breaks because it was THAT heavy. I loved it, cover to cover.
