Book description
Forget everything you think you know about marriage. Ada Calhoun's Crush doesn't just describe a turning point-it makes you feel the electric shock of that moment when everything you thought was settled begins to tremble. This isn't a cautionary tale; it's a raw, hilarious, and utterly necessary reckoning. Calhoun, drawing from her own life, disarms you with a truth we all carry: that "happy" can feel like a cage when you've stopped seeing the person beside you.
The magic here? It's an audiobook you'll want to listen to twice-once to absorb the sharp wit, again to catch the quiet moments where her voice cracks with vulnerability. You hear the hesitation in her husband's question, the panic in her own sigh, the way laughter dissolves into tears. It's not just about rediscovering passion; it's about reclaiming yourself when the world narrows your identity to "wife" or "mother." Calhoun doesn't shy from the mess-sex, heartbreak, the terrifying thrill of wanting more-but she makes you see it as liberation, not loss.
This is the book your friend needs after a pandemic-era marriage. It's not preachy; it's a mirror. You'll recognize that ache of being "content" but not alive in your own life. Calhoun doesn't offer easy fixes. She shows you the storm-the chaos, the guilt, the fear-and then, beautifully, the calm after. You'll hear yourself thinking, This is me. This is what I've been missing.
And that's why Crush isn't just a book-it's a conversation starter for every couple navigating the messy, beautiful work of staying connected. It's the kind of story that makes you pause your commute to whisper, "Yes. Exactly." Don't wait for the perfect moment to listen. Grab Crush now. Your marriage, your self, and your next coffee date with a friend are all waiting for this. It's already becoming the modern classic every couple should hear. Don't miss it.
