They had it all. Or so they thought. A fairytale kind of romance that started with a girl and a boy falling head over heels in love. This isn’t that part of the story. This is what happens after the happily ever after. After careers blossom, babies, stretch marks, and carpools.Nadia is lost. As much as she loves her life, she hardly recognizes the reflection in the mirror. All she sees is his … she sees is his wife, their mom.
Owen works hard. Somewhere between his career and life, working to provide everything possible for his girls, he lost track of what was important.
After one too many broken promises, cold shoulders, and nonexistent attempts at trying to work on ‘them’, she is ready for her life to change. When she does, he wakes up and realizes his own mistakes.
Do Owen and Nadia have something worth saving?

5 Worthy Stars!!!
I love it when I find out that Mayra has finished writing another book. It has taken me a few days to come up with the right words for the review. I wanted to do it justice.
Something Worth Saving isn’t another fairytale story or your typical romance book. This could be someone’s life. Couples go through hard patches in their relationships. Sometimes people give up and move on separately, together and miserable. Or they fight for what’s in front of them. That’s what Owen and Nadia’s story is about.
Falling in love at the very beginning of freshman year of college had been easy. Years later they’ve got beautiful twin girls. Owen’s a successful plastic surgeon. And, Nadia’s a stay at home mother. The problem is they’re stuck in the same routine day in and out. With Owen spending longer and longer at the hospital everyday, Nadia is missing her husband. Feels she needs to take the girls to their vacation house for the summer. Give both her and Owen some time to think about what to do next.
Except, Owen was blind. Didn’t see what was in front of him. Just thinking about loosing his three girls makes him sick. He can’t breathe without them. When his boss comes to him and explains to him she was where he is now. He can’t believe it. Owen starts thinking and he can’t believe the place they’re In or when they even got there. Owen will not loose his family. He’s coming up with a plan and sticking to it.
Mayra did an absolute amazing job with Owen and Nadia story. It could be anybody’s life at some point in their relationship. It was so believable and not too much or exaggerated. This is a beautiful story of a beautiful couple and family. Great job Mayra!! Can’t wait for her next story.
Wow! Such an emotional read. Owen and Nadia could be any couple out there. This hit close to home as we come up to our 15th anniversary this month. Such a great reminder to take time to reconnect and find that love again. Love is worth saving! Great story!
Five huge stars for this read!! Honestly, I am having difficulty formulating words to express what this book means to me. This book evoked ALL THE FEELS from me, my heart stuttering in my chest at THAT scene in the bedroom. The desolation I felt, totally broke my heart and I think it’s because I could relate so easily to this couple (especially Nadia) and what they were experiencing.
Nadia and Owen have been together since college, then between his job as a highly gifted surgeon and the birth of their twins, who are now eight, Nadia feels lost. Her and Owen have drifted apart, her insecurities making her doubt herself and him. She’s too stubborn to voice her concerns and he’s too busy to listen even if she tried. Can they mend the rift before it’s too late?
This book!!! Five huge emotional gold stars!!!
This is another great story told by the lovely Mayra! She brings her characters to life by the way she writes them so real and believable . You stop and think …yes I know someone that has happened to or it may hit you on a personal level as it may be you . Nadia and Owen are college sweethearts ..life is good but hectic and they soon drift apart. Owen let’s his job become his life and gradually Nadia is being left to fend for herself with twin 8 year old girls.
Nadia is a strong, smart beautiful woman she soon wakes up and realizes that she has lost herself. She knows that something has to give and changes need to be made. She knows that this marriage and life that her and Owen have built is Something Worth Saving but is he also willing to give and finally wake up and See Her!!!?
Loved their story! Beautiful!!

Oh the feels!! This story was absolutely amazing!!! This is real life and something everyone who is married should read. Emotional, heartbreaking and heartwarming all wrapped in this amazing bundle of words. Mayra Statham knows how to suck you in and keep you totally addicted to her writing. Everyone should read this book! It’s life changing and I highly recommend it.
If your looking for your perfect fairytAle, this isn’t it. If you want a 5 star read that is so real it brings tears to your eyes? You found it. I loved these characters from the start. No marriage is perfect. There is always bumps in the road and Mayra wrote this perfectly to portray just that. Definitely a must read with a fabulous ending. Not my first read by Mayra but definitely my favorite to date. Very emotional.
