The exploration of their marriage is emotionally satisfying, but a subplot involving implausible real estate dealings is hard to believe. Their hippie marriage counselor, along with adding a needed measure of comic relief, helps Dominic and Rosie realize they each played a role in the disintegration of their relationship. Rosie asks Dominic to go to marriage therapy, convinced he’ll never agree. Dominic knows that something has been amiss, but his own insecurities have led him to follow his father’s example: He works hard and provides and hopes the rest will work itself out. Rosie realizes they never talk anymore-she doesn’t know how to talk to him about the restaurant-and she decides their stagnant marriage must change if she’s going to change the rest of her life. Dominic and Rosie’s sex life is as explosive and satisfying as ever, but it also illustrates the holes in the rest of their marriage. She decides to pursue her dream of opening a restaurant specializing in the Argentinian cuisine she learned from her beloved mother. Ten years later, Rosie realizes she’s tired of working at the department store perfume counter. Rosie and Dominic Vega were middle school sweethearts who married right before Dominic deployed with the Army after high school. A working-class couple on Long Island fights to save their marriage.
