In this somewhat-autobiographical story of falling in, then out, then back in love, Rachelle Elie takes us on a comedic journey through starry-eyed courtship, the highs and lows of marriage and babiesand all the other stuff that comes with sticking it out over the course of a 20-year monogamous relationship.

Peppered with just the right amount of profanity,Elie's anecdotes are often relatable and occasionally laugh-out-loudfunny. (My favourite bit was the tragically hilarious retelling of a Christmas-party gig that ends with a parking-lot-humiliation involving barf-eating pigeons) She's also great when she gets real about the love/hate feelings parents have for their young children.

Less great are the musical bits.Elieis much better as a storyteller than a singer. Aside from a few clever lyrics, most of the songs felt incomplete and unnecessary, and guitarist Luke Jackson was underused.
