Commitment Therapy
Despite losing his first wife to another man—and his second to another woman—42-year-old executive chef, Matt Gillespie still wants to be in a committed relationship. He's vowed never to get married again, however. Twice divorced by the age of thirty, 40-year-old interior designer, Chaney Cromartie is over the marriage thing too—just not as much as Matt.
After a series of events inspire Chaney to give marriage a third try, her change of heart—and Matt’s reaction to it—causes Chaney to reevaluate if her boyfriend of six years is really The One. Meanwhile, Matt's suspicious as to why his long-time girlfriend suddenly wants to “fix what ain't broken.”
When a new suitor enters Chaney’s life; a man on a mission to make her his wife, life-changing decisions are about to be made. Matt will have to resolve which is greater, his will to keep the title of World's Greatest Boyfriend, or to keep Chaney. And Chaney will have to resolve what matters more to her: marriage or commitment.

Commitment Therapy was a really entertaining book. The plot was really complex, which I found refreshing. There was a lot happening outside of Chaney and Matthew in this book, and I felt like it added another interesting element to the story. The beginning was slow for me, but once Chaney and Matthew started to have some issues, the book really picked up. There were times when I felt like the story should have progressed faster than it was, but that was due to my excitement for finding out what happens in the end.
The book was told from both Chaney and Matthew’s POV, which really added a different element to the story. Chaney was down to earth and easygoing, and Matthew was dedicated and loving. I found it easier to fall into Chaney’s POV because her character was really relatable, and it was easy to understand why she wanted a commitment from Matthew. Matthew’s POV, on the other hand, was a little harder to get into simply because it is always harder for me to get into a man’s POV. Also, at times it felt like Matthew’s POV was unnecessary to the story. I was much more interested in Chaney’s POV when it rolled around. However, I liked that the author presented this book in two POVs so that readers can see both sides of the story. It was interesting to see Chaney and Matthew’s reaction to their situation and how they both handled it in different ways.
Commitment Therapy is a really good book to read if you are looking for an entertaining book to take your mind off of things. It has engaging characters that will make you laugh, get angry, and possibly a little sad. And once you get past the first few chapters, you will be able to enjoy an interesting journey of love, loss, life, and commitment. I give Commitment Therapy three out of five stars.
