We Never Have Sex Anymore by Julia Jones was a fun read that made me remember the early years of being married.

I've been married for almost 35 years, so I cringed at some of the things that Julia did to and said about her husband, Theo.

There is great satisfaction (and lots of laughs) throughout this book in which the author has Julia and her husband relating to each other and moreso, NOT relating to each other.

I wanted to shake Julia and just tell her to talk to her husband, but I think that like most of us, she was so caught up in her head that she didn't see the obvious solution that would have easily resolved her issues with Theo.

Watching the couple go through their issues is something most of us can relate to and I, swear to the heavens, told my husband how much I appreciated him when I was done with this book. He just looked at me and said "Okay??" :)

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC. All opinions are my own.

This is a contemporary romcom but not so funny for Theo. As a middle aged woman reading this I wanted to have a chat with Lottie about how her drunken stupor & consequent actions wasn't going to end well 🤦🏼‍♀️ but I could only watch her get deeper & deeper into a situation until she starts realising there are consequences to her decisions! I believe Julia uses the term TAOAFFGI
(the arc of actually
finally *ucking getting it)
I couldn't help wonder about Julia's search history on Google while she was writing this 😂 & the research that might have been involved 😆

This book is hilarious, yes, but it’s also incredibly insightful about the communication breakdowns that happen in long term relationships. It tackles a very real issue with a unique, viral twist that makes it impossible to put down.

If you love romcoms that make you think as much as they make you laugh, this one is for you.

This was such a fun read! I was laughing and smiling the whole way through! It was such a great look at relationships the way they get at a certain point and the desire to keep the “spark” and what happens when the goal is not too’! Such a great fun light read to escape into! You’ll definitely want to pick this one up!

I really enjoyed this book, it was filled with a lot of humour that made me laugh out loud. The only thing that was a bit annoying is Lottiie needed to have better communication with her partner but overall this was a fantastic read!!!

Thank you to the publisher Avon Books UK for providing this book for review purposes via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

This both was funny, heartbreaking, grimace inducing and uplifting, I was riveted and totally engaged with Lottie’s story. I can completely relate to Lottie and I was with her every step of the way. Having been in a similar situation to Lottie, as I was reading the authors words it felt like she was telling my story, about the lack of communication and lack of intimacy in a long term relationship. Building up the courage to have the difficult conversations can be so nerve inducing people can go to great lengths to avoid having those conversations, that’s what I think this book got right as both Lottie and Theo were burying their heads in the sand. Lottie wasn’t the villain of this book but rather a misguided and lonely woman who made the wrong choices but it came from a place of her wanting to fix her relationship.

I was cringing for Lottie when she woke up and realised what she did, that she had sent her confession into a well known podcast. The further she went down the rabbit hole and wasn’t talking to Theo and telling him what was going on, the more difficult it became for her to tell him the truth. My heart broke for her in places and god bless her best friend Caro as she didn’t let Lottie wallow in it, she encouraged her to get up and carry on. I absolutely loved Caro and would love it if she got her own book as I would love to read her story. This book was beautifully written and relatable, I loved the ending.

What happens when a drunken late night confession to a pod cast goes viral?
Admitting that you don't have a sex life in a long term relationship sets a course of events spiralling..
Lottie tries to get her marriage back in the bedroom with a series of interventions. The results are hilarious and heartbreaking. A book that will you smile and grimace .
Enjoy I did

Got drawn in by the title right away. I was curious about the many reasons married couples stop having sex. The story is funny, relatable, and at times uncomfortably real. Even though the plot is predictable, it’s still an enjoyable read. The big reveal wasn’t what I expected, and I was definitely surprised. It’s sad but true how often women blame themselves when things fall apart. I appreciated how the book shows couples fighting to nurture what they have. A good reminder not to treat your partner like a roommate. Romance needs intention, and communication really is everything.

Thank you NetGalley and Avon Books UK for the ARC!

Really enjoyed this bokk. Had mr laughing out loud so many time but also parts i was totally cringing!

Omg this book had some really awkward moments but was also really hilarious at times! I thoroughly enjoyed it all the way through, even while cringing. This book will truly give you all the feels.

This book appealed to me from the start, I was totally invested in Lottie and Theo’s relationship woes, something most long term relationships experience at some point.
Lottie was very typical in that she blamed herself, thought the reasons for no sex were because she was no longer attractive to Theo, he no longer loved her, had someone else etc etc but none of this could have been further from the truth!
What follows is a totally unique scenario as Lottie airs her relationship status very publicly and tries new experiences in order to resolve the issues with very different results!
This book demonstrates the value/worth of maintaining good communication within a relationship, and tackles a very sensitive subject well, Theo like most men is reluctant to admit/discuss his shortcomings and this snowballed dramatically, but by highlighting the issue hopefully this will generate communication between couples so no one has to go through the drastic course Lottie and Theo took.
A totally relatable read for many
Thank you NetGalley fir this early read

This was a really honest and funny look at what happens when a long-term relationship just… fizzles. Lottie and Theo have been together forever, and on paper everything looks great. But behind the scenes? Zero intimacy, no spark, and both of them kind of pretending it’s fine.

I liked Lottie a lot in this. She’s worn out, frustrated, and then she goes and vents on a podcast after a couple drinks — and that ends up blowing up online thanks to a couple of influencers who grab the clip and run with it. Suddenly her whole marriage is trending, everyone has an opinion, and she and Theo can’t hide from the problem anymore.

Theo’s reactions felt believable too. Neither of them is the villain; they’ve just gotten stuck in routines and forgot to talk to each other. The influencer chaos actually pushes them to deal with things, which made for some funny and very real moments.

Overall, it’s an easy, relatable read about a couple trying to find their way back to each other while the internet watches. I really enjoyed it.

Thanks to NetGalley and the Publisher for this ARC.

I’m glad I found this author through an ARC because I really enjoyed the writing — it’s easy, honest, and kept me turning the pages!

Thank you Net Galley for this ARC. This story is laugh out loud funny. I found so many parts of this story to be so relatable. I will recommend this book for several months ahead.

I really enjoyed Julia Jones's novel about a flagging marriage. It paints a very believable picture of a thirty-something couple who thought they were happily married but suddenly find they're not doing it for (or with) each other any more. Jones paints a detailed picture of a contemporary couple with friends, jobs -- and escalating trust issues. It starts off as an amusing picture of 'normal people' whose perfect life is not so perfect any more, but as it goes on it delves deeper and deeper under the surface gloss to deconstruct these modern lives in a convincing and moving way. Well-plotted, carefully paced and satisfyingly resolved, I'd recommend this if you want to read about realistic relationships.

Absolutely loved this book. It was so gripping and I was invested in the main character instantly. The story flows smoothly and easily. The twists and turns were so intriguing till the end of the book.
