Two years ago, Billie Tarrow's husband left her for another woman. Shamed and divorced, Billie retreated to her family home in Port Townsend, far from her old life in New York. After a near-death encounter, Billie decides to return to the city that took everything from her.
But sometimes in the midst of heartache, hope suffocates the pain.
Satcher Gable has carried a torch for Billie for ten years. When she suddenly returns to New York a single woman, he can't believe his good fortune. But convincing her to walk away from her heartache is proving more difficult than Satcher anticipated. A changed woman, Billie's only goal is revenge.
F*ck Marriage is a raw, honest tale about Billie and her banked marriage. But it’s also about revenge, love, hope, and friends.
Story:
F*ck Marriage isn’t only about Billie, though, it is also about Woods and Satcher, who used to be best friends. That is, until Woods cheated on Billie and told her he wanted a divorce.
Most of the relationships in F*ck Marriage are rather complicated, once one layer is pealed off, there’s another one ready to be dissected, and that made it a little hard to get to know the characters at times.
While I enjoyed Billie, it was also a bit difficult to relate to her. She didn’t know what she wanted. And she didn’t really know herself anymore – so her self confidence was not the best. I liked it when Billie stood up for herself – especially when it came to Pearl whom I wanted to pummel!
What made me not give F*ck Marriage five stars, though, was that I would have loved the ending to be a little bit longer so a true resolution could come to light.

Hmm, I don’t know if I’d read this. I was really intrigued by it but… I don’t know. I guess I would T like the same things you didn’t, but multiplied by 5 lol glad you enjoyed it though 🙂
Genesis @ Whispering Chapters
Ha! I didn’t love the heroine, but the story itself was good, Gen. I’m glad if I could help you either way, though 🙂
I’m very curious about this one, even if I don’t like the title. Love Tarryn’s writing though and I’m glad to see you really enjoyed it.
It was a really good story, Trish, and there was a good reason for the title – even the picture on the cove has something to do with the story 🙂
This is an author I always keep meaning to read but never do! I do really like the sound of this one, even if the main character is tough to get to know. Great review!
Is this a sequel to F*ck Love? I love Tarryn Fisher books soo much!! Great review!
~Kendra @ Kendra Loves Books
It doesn’t have the same characters as F*ck Love, but it was a good story anyway 🙂
This sounds like it was a pretty good read. Too bad the ending wasn’t long enough, and didn’t have a true resolution to it. Great Review!
