Summary
A Washington Post and Amazon Charts bestseller.

Honesty is the best policy…except maybe when it comes to marriage in this brilliant novel about the high price of perfection from bestselling author Camille Pagán.

Wife. Mother. Breadwinner. Penelope Ruiz-Kar is doing it all—and barely keeping it together. Meanwhile, her best friend, Jenny Sweet, appears to be sailing through life. As close as the two women are, Jenny’s passionate marriage, pristine house, and ultra-polite child stand in stark contrast to Penelope’s underemployed husband, Sanjay, their unruly brood, and the daily grind she calls a career.

Then a shocking tragedy reveals that Jenny’s life is far from perfect. Reeling, Penelope vows to stop keeping the peace and finally deal with the issues in her relationship. So she and Sanjay agree to a radical proposal: both will write a list of changes they want each other to make—then commit to complete and total honesty.

What seems like a smart idea quickly spirals out of control, revealing new rifts and even deeper secrets. As Penelope stares down the possible implosion of her marriage, she must ask herself: When it comes to love, is honesty really the best policy?

I definitely liked this one more than I was expecting. It actually reminded me quite a lot of All Your Perfects, a book I absolutely loved. The two books deal with the same general topic, a tragic event forces a married couple to reassess their relationship. In All Your Perfects, the tragic event was infertility. In I’m Fine and Neither Are You, it's something completely different, which I won't say because of spoilers. It's something I wasn't expecting and so took me by surprise. Although All Your Perfects took me on MUCH more of an emotional roller coaster than this book, hence that book getting 5 stars and this one 4, I've got to say I really liked the story here and the characters. Penny and Sanjay were relatable and dealt with such real struggles. It makes the point that marriage is hard work but definitely not impossible when both mates are committed to making it work. The writing style was really compelling too. I definitely could have seen myself finishing this all in one day on a different day. Although nothing mind blowing happened it was just a GOOD book about marriage with well-written, relatable characters that dealt with real challenges. Camille Pagán is not quite Colleen Hoover, but I see them having a similar audience. I'd be interested in checking out more of her books.
