Goodreads asked Kevin O'Brien:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Kevin O'Brien They might not be my favorite ALL-TIME fictional couple, but I really like Rose & Penn, the parents in Laurie Frankel's THIS IS HOW IT ALWAYS IS. He's a writer. She's a doctor. They live in Wisconsin, fall madly in love, get married, have five boys, and the youngest one, Claude, decides he'd rather be a girl. They're such sweet, thoughtful, sacrificing parents--and how they handle this situation is just remarkable. They may not be as exciting and combustible as Scarlet and Rhett, but Ross & Penn are a couple you'd want to be good friends with.
