****4 STARS**** 
 Written in the Scars is a really good book. I loved how it focuses on an established relationship, a marriage. It's not just about that pretty stuff that happens when you first meet someone. This is when s**t gets real. 
 I am a die hard Adriana Locke fan, she is a brilliant writer. Even if this booked sucked I would still read anything and everything she ever writes because I love her. Well, its a good thing I don't have that problem because this book is wonderful. 
 She once again proved she is a beast when it comes to writing. 
 Marriage is f***ing hard, trust me, I've been doing it for 10 years now. You're feelings change, you grow up, you learn, you live all while connected to this other person. Everything you do effects your spouse and vica versa. 
 Ty and Elin met in the 8th grade, which means they know each in and out. Ty has always prided himself on being able to take care of Elin. But when Ty gets injured on the job and unable to work he starts to like less than a man. 
 Elin is a teacher and to keep things afloat she has to pick up an extra job teaching evening classes at the local high school. 
 Money gets tight, bills start to stack up, guilt begins to settle in and on top of that they are trying to have a baby. With all of that being said it's easy to see why Ty starts to feel emasculated. Any man would. Unfortunately, he also did something many people would find unforgivable....he left. 
 When Ty comes back it's an adjustment for Elin, who has been suffering on her own while he was out "finding himself" or whatever else it is men do when that leave. You know how it is.... 
 But I will give it to Ty, he was ready and willing to fight for his marriage and that's all you can do. Right? 
 Even when she was so pissed at him to where she couldn't see straight, he kept on fighting for his wife. He kept fighting for his marriage. 
 As a woman it can be difficult to forgive and forget but when you're married and promised for better or for worse, do you stick to your vows or do you cut your loses? 
 I enjoyed this book even though some s**t goes down that I didn't like but that's life.
