Four words posed in a question started the beginning of our future. Will you marry me?Ten years of love and laughter, triumphs and failures, losses and gains later, and four words threatened to end it all. Everything has a beginning and an end. I just never saw mine coming. Especially when I finally thought we were getting it all. Until my husband and lifeline uttered….I want a divorce. Only I … uttered….
I want a divorce.
Only I had four words of my own. Words that should be said out of happiness and pure joy. Words I’d
been dying to say, but never could. A sentence that he may never hear now that he didn’t want to be my
forever anymore.

Four Meaningful Words is a fast paced, heartfelt love story. A.M. Guilliams is a new author to me and I’m hooked, I like her writing style and the way her story is delivered. Her characters Liz and Austin were genuine, and you can’t help but fall in love with them. They were so worried about the other person’s happiness. Now that’s true love if you ask me. Looking forward to reading more of this authors stories.
This was a very emotional journey for these two and I was glad there was a happy ending. At the beginning you aren’t sure it will be, but it is quickly remedied because the two realize they have work to do to fix themselves and their marriage. After asking for a divorce, Austin realizes that he made a huge mistake and Elizabeth knows she will do whatever it takes to get Austen to work on them. I really enjoyed that journey, but the end of the book felt forced and odd to me. Triggers – infertility.
This was my first A.M. Guilliams book. This is a beautiful and emotional story, hopeful, heartbreaking, and heartwarming afterward. Their story feel real.
This quick read packs so much emotion into one book! I was so overwhelmed with sadness and joy both reading Liz and Austin’s journey through their heartbreaking marriage.
I would have to give away to many spoilers to truly lay out my feelings with this one! I loved reading about this couple even on the pages that didn’t paint the prettiest picture!
Great read!
4 stars!
This was a quick, emotional read. I will be honest I am only giving it 4 stars because it was shorter then I expected and slightly rushed in places. I could have read so much more from this couple.
Liz and Austin have been through so much heartbreak with miscarriages and failed adoptions they are both broken and not really admitting how they are feeling. They are just going through the emotions of day to day living. They had such love for each other but had lost their way in their grief and heartbreak.
I honestly loved watching them start to fight for their marriage, to be really honest with each other. It was so raw and emotional, but beautiful to read.
The author handled this issue that effects many couples brilliantly and with emotion.
I would 100% recommend this book to someone as it’s a quick heartfelt book. Austin and Liz are both such great characters with big hearts. The love they have for each other is out of this world. The book deals with issues that I believe quite a few couples actually deal with and the emotional turmoil that they go through. It touches on some hard subjects but it was well written and got the point across well. The reason for only 3 stars is that for me, even though it was well written and heartfelt, it was extremely predictable and often rushed. While I loved the characters themselves, because it was so short it felt like sometimes there was a rush to get through scenes and the development of the story line lacked some. I don’t want to give away anything specific because it would be a spoiler, but towards the end I wish we got to see more of them as a family. The story was wrapped up nicely but again, it was extremely rushed especially towards the end. If you’re looking for a quick and easy read book this is definitely for you.
This was a very quick beautiful read. I loved both Austin and Liz. They had big hearts and my heart broke many times for them. I loved seeing them work together to make their dreams come true. I don’t want to go into too many details because it was a very quick, straight forward read but this book dealt with issues that some couples really do experience and I believe the author did an awesome job with it, even if it was a little fluffy in parts. I don’t mean that in a bad way, just that the problems were solved fairly easily. I still really enjoyed it. 4 stars #2OCCJD
Four Meaningful Words by A.M. Guilliams was a quick, emotional and different kind of read. Liz and Austin have been married for ten years and love each other deeply. But the last few years have been hard for both of them. They have struggled with grief, loss and heartbreak and instead of leaning on each other, fall further apart until it seems there is an ocean between them. Austin then utter words she never expected, “I want a divorce”. Heartbroken, they now need to find their new normal.
Though Liz and Austin are facing difficulties and obstacles they never expected, their love is as strong as ever, they are just lost and broken. Can they find a way back to each other before it is too late? I enjoyed reading Four Meaningful Words by A.M. Guilliams. I loved watching a couple fight for what they wanted and felt.
